Thanks Melanie! Don’t worry about the text, nothing makes much economic sense right now…

Captain – absolutely! It’s the portfolio which just keeps delivering, year in, year out.

Hi Matt – Shirane was looking good through the clouds that day. I was taking a friend up Nantai for his first taste of the mountains, otherwise I might well have hoofed it over to Shirane too. Might save that one for the snow, though..

David – many’s the time I’ve been tempted to stay up there…

Hey Dan – yup, you’ve got to hand it to Japan, it does autumn *really* well. Glad you enjoyed the post.

Man, the colours are beautiful. There are precious hints of the same in the Avon Gorge, but it’s NOT the same.

Way to show perspective, Chris. Great post.

Yes, which one wish he could stay on Nantai does it not?

Hi cjw. I was actually up at Nikko Shirane just around the corner the day before you. My pictures are unsurprisingly not as good though. Certainly a welcome break from the markets for me as well. Never thought I’d see the circuit breaker tripped on Nikkei futures! Interesting times…

There has never been a better time to go long on Nantai and the other Ninety-Nine Mountains of Japan!

Damian – that lifestyle sounds more and more attractive by the day. Who knows what’s ahead though. But in the words of Tyler Durden “Only after disaster can we be resurrected”..

Julian – actually I’m strangely calm. The crash yesterday felt, for want of a better word, cathartic. Like the market’s been tugging gingerly at the band-aid for months and finally decided to rip it off. Poor Iceland…

If you were stressed on Monday, I wonder how you are now… At least we’re not in Iceland.

Good God I’m glad I ‘retired’ to mtns and vegetable farming a year ago (not to rub it in). I feel your pain, hang in there, seems you know where relief can be found.
