Japanese companies' pretax profits in July-Sept down for 1st time in 7 quarters

Going to get worse for Japan Inc., largest sector being auto getting killed, look for Nissan and Honda to merge, real blood bath. Japan's way behind in tech, especially AI, too little tech. talent, too much zero money games, too little global brand capacity w/Galapagos culture.

How do you play catch up with the oldest most indebted country in the world that's depopulating rapidly?
