Japan; buy a CD, get some upside?
Story about a florida bank offering a CD, that earns
Par value, or par value plus the upside the Tokyo REIT market enjoys. That is, rather than a guaranteed 5% CD, you buy this and get some range between 0% to whatever Japanese real estate does. So do you think Japanese real estate goes up 10% per year? (making up that %, since I think you want to hope for extra return in exchange for your risk of maybe getting zero percent on this
Note it has tax issues; you pay tax each year not on actual $$ you earn, but on implied return
