As the Japanese stock market knocked unsuccessfully on the door of 50,000 yesterday [21 Oct], sentiment shifted from FOMO [fear of missing out] to FOTI [fear of topping in]. Would someone buying the Japanese market today be making the same mistake as someone buying in Oct 1989? Pelham Smithers discusses.
 
                                                                                 
                                                                                The Japanese stock market’s take on the surprise victory of Sanae Takaichi in the LDP Presidential race suggested that it wasn’t so much a repeat of the “Koizumi Boom” from 20 years ago, but rather a brand new “Takaichi Boom”, and we saw the Nikkei 225 jump +4.8% to just under 48,000. Pelham Smithers compares and contrasts the impact and flags “Takaichi Stocks”. Importantly, market valuations suggest further upside.

And (3) Who are the upcoming winners and losers.
