If you were long Japanese equities in 2013, you've got a lot to celebrate. The stunning year of performance on the Nikkei 225 saw the benchmark index finish vault 57% higher. That's the biggest increase in the Japanese stock market since 1972, when the Nikkei nearly doubled in value. The gains in Japan trounced the performance of the S&P 500, which had its best year since the mid-1990's, surging nearly 30% in 2013.
