Japan's stock market recently exceeded the all-time high first set in December 1989. That's 34 years of zero price appreciation for the stock market. What drove this lackluster performance, will it continue, and what can we learn from it?

Topics covered include:

• How big was Japan's stock bubble, and how much did it contribute to the stock market's underperformance over the past three decades
• How do Japan's demographic trends impact its economic challenges, and what are the solutions
• Why Japan's houses are built to depreciate in value
• What lessons can we learn from Japan's extended bear market
