Despite the US government looking hell-bent on crashing the global economy, Japan’s stock market is partying like it’s 1989.

Therefore, I welcome you to my countdown of the five most overvalued Japanese stocks, companies whose share prices are far higher than their numbers support.

• A Discounted Cash Flow sanity test (10-year forecast, 3 % terminal growth)

• How much of the price tag comes from buzzwords rather than cash flow

Today, we're at the top: the true titan of overvaluation!

King? Emperor? This one simply stands alone…
