Hot Stock Market here in Japan

[captainspoke]

Nikkei just dropped 800 points so maybe this was a little premature

Looks like crypto and related stuff is down a little, too.

And again today. Another dip across the board thanks to the new COVID-19 variant.

Things are looking up!

For selfish personal reasons, I would love to see an enormous crash over the next six months. The lower the prices, the better it is to buy

I don't really buy any ETFs. Oh wait, I do have some Topix30. But generally only individual stocks.
Right now I am watching Softbank fall, and wondering when might be a good time to pick some up. Like Retirejapan, I look for buying opportunities when the time is right.
I'm perplexed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals - why isn't it showing any recovery in this recent run up of stocks, especially in the pharmaceutical industry? Admittedly, I have lost quite a bit of money holding Takeda these past few years.

That gives me far too much credit

In fact, I just buy things when I have money... so far so good though.

Apart from Nissan. And HSBC. And Santander.

I had read that article, and had a look at their charts. Wasn't convinced at all--I'll stick with an index/ETF.
