edit Mitsubishi's investment portfolio is heavily tilted to a stagnate Japanese economy.

Top Contributor: Andrew Liyana | Created when MTU was $6.29 | Edit | History

Similar, its investment portfolio primarily holds Japanese stocks and bonds, so a weak Japanese economy hurts MTU's earnings. With the Nikkei at its 1981 levels, the soft equity prices translates into declining income.

Top Contributor: Andrew Liyana | Created when MTU was $6.29 | Edit | History

Significant government intervention increases the likelihood of more goverment oversight and banking guarantees specified by certain governments create artificial competitive advantages. The current financial crisis may not head anytime soon, and when it does, the financial landscape will be substantially different.

For borrowers of loans designated to be paid back in yen that did not hedge their currency risk are susceptible to default as their repayment burden increases. Loan losses will hurt MTU's bottom-line.
