Subjective. For instance a US$ bought around twice as many Yen in 1991 as what it bought in 2011. Foreign (for Japan) stocks/earnings 1991 - 2011 would had to have doubled just to offset currency movement (inflation was broadly zero over those years (5% total inflation across those 20 years). Which for the US stocks they did (total return) and some, but not as beneficial as other domestic stocks. Again, depending upon what stocks were held/weighted made significant differences. The 'Market' index, in being heavily weighted into those stocks that had grown massively during the 1970's/1980's, declined (but remained large/dominant of the index despite being down a lot) and have taken decades to 'recover'. Others (more equal weighted diversity/range) did very well by comparison.
