📈 Furious start to 2024 for the $XDJP 🇯🇵

The Nikkei 225 index rose by 13.5% in the first seven trading weeks of the current year and things are also looking very good for Japanese quality stocks in the near future (e.g. $6758 (+2.64%)
$8058 (+2.45%)
$9434 (+1.98%) ) are looking very good.

Hier die ZusammenfassungWhy Japanese shares are particularly interesting at the moment

A number of positive factors such as robust GDP growth and investments in the semiconductor industry have already supported the index in the first two months. In addition, the hype surrounding artificial intelligence is also boosting the market there, while improved corporate governance and share buybacks are strengthening investor confidence. (1)

Despite a temporary dip in the Japanese economy in the second half of 2023, GDP growth should continue to surprise on the upside. More on this from paragraph 3 of the Artikels.

How can you participate now?

The SG Japan Quality Income Index (Fig. 1) would be one way to participate specifically in the performance of Japanese quality companies. It comprises 60 companies that have been selected on the basis of good financial ratios and their dividend strength, among other factors.

If Japanese dividend stocks were not perfect for reducing the US overrepresentation in the portfolio (as @PowerWordChill
it would do🌚) ?

This does not change Softbank's stake in Telekom.

𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 💎

Twitter ($TWR) - The social media and news platform has been a central building block in terms of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) and their uses for quite some time. In recent months, for example, more and more well-known personalities, such as Mike Tyson, Timmy Trumpet, Marshmello or Stephen Curry, changed their profile pictures into well-known NFTs (see picture). Predestined for the use as profile picture are especially avatar NFT projects like CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club or Cool Cats. However, a big problem up to now was that anyone could change their profile picture on Twitter into an NFT, even if this person was not the "rightful" owner of the NFT. Twitter now wants to combat this by using a new feature to verify the authenticity of an NFT. NFTs that were actually purchased by the owner of the Twitter account are then marked with a seal accordingly. This increases the usability of NFTs even further and makes it even more attractive for people to invest in them.
