Personal Finance for Residents of Japan

.Yeah. I refrained from putting too much money into the market because a collapse/adjustment was very much on the tables for the last few months. Unfortunately things came up and I ended up spending a lot of cash to go back to the UK and now I don't have as much cash as I want to throw into this haha. Being the first 'crash' I've properly witnessed, it's a little difficult knowing exactly how to play it. My initial idea was to DCA my pot of cash into investments which made sense (all country index, MSFT, NVDA etc). What I didn't realise was it would be difficult to know how to spread the investments, and I'm likely going to use my full cash allotment before even a week is up, and who knows if we're anywhere near 'the bottom'. Oh well, it's been a good learning exercise.Bubblegun wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 4:06 am I noticed this a few weeks ago, in fact I felt as though I was seeing bubbles everywhere, stocks high, house prices high, free money bubbles, China’s property problem, (can’t remember the company) inflation going through the roof, and everyone saying it’s fine and it’ll continue.
Now it seems interest rates are going up too.
Feels like the fish from finding Nemo.
Bubbles. bubbles, bubbles.
I’ll just keep drip feeding in.
But I was beginning to compare this to the roaring 20s.
Just after the war, recovered from a pandemic then the good times will continue then…
Seems similar to today,
End of Afghan war, a pandemic recovery, good times are back…… maybe a bubble now but I think hard times are coming…… all this debt must be clawed back.
Well I suppose when the company wants to inflate the stock it just needs to buy it’s own stock. I mean, they haven’t made any more product, they haven’t sold more, and they haven’t made more profit. Howe ever when a CEOs pay is linked to the share price, surely they are motivated more by just inflating the stock price rather than,selling more product…etc etc, then the ceo gets that massive bonus, not to mention cash in their own stock options. Tesla seems a good example.Viralriver wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 7:04 amYeah.

By the way, I think the Chinese company you're referring to is Evergrande.
I just did this in December.Mirei wrote: ↑Tue Jan 25, 2022 1:07 pm Pardon my ignorance, but how do I lump sum a tsumitateNISA?
Somehow I couldn't find it and still restricted to the 33k monthly option. Couldn't set it as a bonus payment either.
As a side question, would you think All Country will always generally be the safest path in the long run for Tokutei account, although it seems always down since the past few months?
