Why are you giving your money to SBI or Rakuten then?

Not sure continuing this discussion is going to yield much in terms of informing people or contributing to the positive forum atmosphere

Re: Potential SBI TOB of Shinsei
Looks like Shinsei board are going to try their best to resist the takeover https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/14441668. Not sure if it's really in the shareholders' interests though...

Seems like SBI has rejected Shinsei's request for an extension and Shinsei is now considering this a hostile takeover and defending itself.

Re: Potential SBI TOB of Shinsei
Looks like Shinsei recently formed an alliance with Monex:

A pre-emptive move against an SBI hostile takeover? Hmmm... the plot thickens!

The shareholders' interests count for pretty much nothing in Japan.

Re: Potential SBI TOB of Shinsei
These sort of "hot take" comments do not really add much to the conversation. While not explicitly racist, they are definitely infamatory.Roger Van Zant wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 12:46 amThe shareholders' interests count for pretty much nothing in Japan.

Re: Potential SBI TOB of Shinsei
Well, they serve to educate those less well-versed in how business in Japan works. Many people think Japanese companies operate with a similar level of corporate governance as companies in northern Europe, the UK, Australia etc.. They absolutely do not. It's something potential investors in Japanese companies should be aware of. Please, even bringing up the spectre of "racism" is ridiculous, and actually defamatory. Are you one of these people for whom any criticism of Japan equals racism?EmaxisSlim Cultist wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 6:28 amThese sort of "hot take" comments do not really add much to the conversation.
