Steel you have it incorrect.

The Japanese stock market will take off absolutely but decline relative to the falling Yen which will tank. The market will not go up as fast as the Yen falls. Japanese stocks for a non-Japanese investor who doesn't hedge aganist the decline in the Yen will end up losing money!

If i were an investor in Japan I would own only international equities which will rise faster than the domestic Japanese market reflecting the fall in the Yen.

Same think happened in Germany post-WWI and Zimbabwe, there market's soared, but their currencies crashed harder.

The market needs to go up 100% every time the currency falls by 50% to stay even!
