Unfortunately when there is euphoria from foreign investors often that is not good for the markets. There has to be a step-by-step approach. We've seen the markets tumble again since that short-term boost. So the cautiously optimistic approach by foreigners is much more important than any kind of euphoria for Koizumi." 3.18 (W3) TOKYO, JAPAN (FILE) (REUTERS - ACCESS ALL) 15.
