Huge financial asset bubble that burst.

It wasn't like there was breadlines in Japan.

I think if that happened in the US, there'd probably be anarchy.

People would freak out.

But Japan, they said, all right, fine, I guess we're dealing with this.

And they had money in bonds.

They increased their savings rates.

And they sort of took care of their elderly.

They didn't have huge layoffs.

And the Japanese economy is still kind of doing okay, right?

And those stocks...

in the last 10 or 15 years have come back nicely and are doing better.

My biggest lesson from Japan is just the diversification piece.

The rest of the world didn't slow down just because Japan peaked in 1989.

The US went on to have one of the best decades ever in the 1990s right afterwards.

So like Japan didn't bring the rest of the world down.

The rest of the world went on and had a nice run

in the 90s after that.

I think if you look at the country stock markets, though, the ranking by decade is always changing.

I have some of the numbers in the book on that.
