Jim Rogers bought Japan stocks and sold them
I bought in Japan back after the tsunami a couple years ago and I bought more when [new Japan Prime Minister] Abe said he was going to print "unlimited' - and that's his word, not mine - unlimited amounts of money.
But I sold them last week. Not all of them, but most of them, because they just had gone up so much. As I told you, I'm very bad at market timing. So I suspect I was wrong. But I have sold out of most of my Japanese stocks. They were just up so much.
