Our situation happened to Japan not too long ago...does anyone remember when they were buying all of our golf courses and real estate?

here is a link to the bio of their prime minister at the time. He made a great speech on the eve of their destruction that had more to do with all Japanese picking up their pace and doing without as a way to correct the economy. I think this is worth a read...any links to the actual speech would be appreciated.

I remember when Japan was buying up all the gold they could get their hands on. I think it was more a currency issue than a bank issue however.

That is what began the “gold rush”. People scoffed over advise to buy gold (it sold for around $234/oz then) It turned out to be a very good long term worry free investment.
