And yeah, don't worry too much about why the investment looks how it does; it's a combination of laziness and ignorance

Good stuff. Well, you started in 2017 and have made some money, so your 'ignorance' has not hindered you too much

A vanguard balanced fund is not a bad play! It is just a conservative play.

You could have done far...far worse. Do not beat yourself up. This was a good default.

Thank you both for the kind words!
Yeah, I kinda knew I should be investing but couldn't be bothered to learn about it all, so I just started buying Vanguard. Then somewhere along the line NISA came along, and again, I couldn't really be bothered learning about it all. I'm not really sure what happened with payments and everything because I wasn't paying attention.

This has all changed now: I have bought both the Retire Japan guides and am avidly reading the forums here. Thank you both for such a warm welcome!

Hello to all.
My name is Jamse. I am 26 years old and I work in a store that sells books. I am passionate about trading and I am currently training on Candlestick patterns. I am looking for these two books. Where can I find them?

They are digital products AFAIK, but they're not going to teach you about candlestick patterns or any sort of trading for that matter

Unless you are planning to be a professional investor, focusing on long term investing and not trading is the best plan. The good news is at 26 you have the chance to take advantage of something precious that nobody can buy: time. https://bankeronfire.com/the-most-impor ... -investing

Technical analysis (Reading stock charts in an attempt to predict future movement) is considered akin to reading tea leaves to attempt to predict next year's harvest.

I think your energies and talents are better spent in other endeavors.

does anyone have experience trying to link rakuten card to rakuten securities where the name doesn't match despite being same person, with same id card, and also already linked to same rakuten account for rakuten bank? (this is when setting money source/引落方法 when ordering tsumitate nisa)

Yes, I'm going to guess and say you have a middle name and you omitted it or used spaces when registering your Rakuten Card. The name on Rakuten Card must match the name on Rakuten Securities 100%. To fix this, you need to find out what your name is on Rakuten Card (most likely its LASTNAMEFIRSTNAME MIDDLENAME or LASTNAME FIRSTNAMEMIDDLENAME) and then call up Rakuten Securities and get them to correct your name on their backend system so it can be connected to Card.

Thanks for the tip, friend! I'll be aware of it soon...

My wife and I live in the US now. She is a Japanese citizen, but a resident of the US.

We would like to retire in Japan, and we're interested in opening a tsumitate NISA. It looks like it's open to current Japan residents only, though.

It seems unlikely Rakuten would ask a lot of questions about residency if a Japanese citizen with a current mailing address showed up to open the account. Are there risks I'm missing here? Might opening a NISA raise flags with the pension system? Ward tax? We certainly don't want to do it if there is any prospect of it causing trouble or expense in the future.
