Kamehame-HA! Japan's Stock Market About to Get a Whole Lot More Super!?

Kaio what?! Investing for Everyone?!

Heya! It's Goku! I heard the Tokyo Stock Exchange is doing something pretty cool. They're trying to get more people even the little guys to invest in companies! Imagine more folks powering up the economy! It's like everyone contributing to a massive Spirit Bomb! They wanna lower the minimum investment to around 100,000 yen. That's like... a lot less than a Senzu Bean costs! This is going to allow a diverse range of investors to throw their hat in the ring even young people! Maybe even Gotenks could afford to invest now!

Foreigners vs. Locals: A Stock Market Saga!

So get this the article says that currently about 32% of the Japanese stock market is owned by foreign investors. But the locals? Only 16.9%! Seems like we need to train the locals to power up their investment game! The rest is held by big wigs like financial institutions business corporations and the government. It's like the Tournament of Power but with stocks! We gotta get those numbers up! We need everyone to participate. It's gonna be great!

From Gamblers to Guardians of the Galaxy (Stocks)!

Apparently after some big boom went bust back in the day Japanese folks got a little scared of the stock market. They thought it was like gambling! But the times are changing! Younger folks aren't scared they're ready to jump in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and train to be master investors! The government and TSE want to make it easier for these young investors to save and invest! I bet even Krillin could get in on this action now! It's good for everyone!

Retirement... It's Over 9000! (Yen Shortfall That Is!)

And get this a lot of older Japanese folks are coming up short on their retirement funds about 20 million yen short! That's like... a lot of ramen! So instead of the government stepping in they're encouraging everyone to invest more! It's like telling them to go Super Saiyan and power up their savings! This is a great idea!

Paperwork? More Like Planet Namek work!

This Zuhair Khan guy mentions that in the past stock trading was a real pain with tons of paperwork and snail mail. Can you believe it? Paper! Snail mail! Sounds slower than Yamcha trying to keep up with me! Setting high investment unit levels was one way to reduce the manual processing cost and burden he told CNBC. Now they want to move away from that which is great!

Local Heroes to the Rescue: Time for a Spirit Bomb!

So between April 7 11 foreign investors traded 20 billion shares! But local individuals? Only 10 billion! But if these local guys get in the game they could be a real 'swing factor'! It's like when everyone gave me their energy for the Spirit Bomb to defeat Kid Buu! Cheaper minimum investment units will encourage them to come out and buy and that is amazing!
