Mission Accomplished Abenomics? The Nikkei 225 just hit fresh 7 year highs at around 17,900 (the highest since July 2007) managing to soar 24% off the mid-October ‘Bullard lows’ and once again trading above the Dow. Great news for all the bulled up US investors we see day after day on financial TV… wrong! In US Dollars, US investors remain down 4% year-to-date (and have yet to have a positive close in 2014).
