Buy Japan now while it's even cheaper than it usually is.

So the charts don't look so good for this one now... but it will turn around in the next couple years.

In contrast to the Japan ETFs that feature the "big guys" like Toyota, Sony, Honda, etc. where they have reached their peak years ago, this ETF has the smaller companies that you haven't YET heard of (there's a Japanese pharmaceutical that makes pain-relieving patches sold in the the US for cheap) and have lots more growing room in years to come.

It's cheaper now, might have a little ways more to drop, but getting in on this one soon is the plan :)

Japanese small caps are cash rich and well managed.Japan is going to go into an inflationary phase which would bring out billions of dollars worth of savings currently tucked away in cash and bonds.

The Japaneese Stock Market is one of the cheapest in the world and ready to turn around. This ETF represents the small cap market in Japan, which should have more upside potential.

25% of the Topix is trading under book value vs 2% of US small caps. Topix as a whole trades at 1.9x book value vs 2.8 for US small caps. And Japan's corporate law will change in May to allow hostile takeovers using shares as currency. Watch all the savings crawl out of the mattresses with the end of deflation to look for a new home in real estate and undervalued stocks.
