Berkshire Hathaway invests heavily in Japan.

Its investments in Japan are the second largest of any country, after the US.

At the same time, Buffett said he does not want to hold more than a 9.9% stake in either company.

It's just that the country's so heavily in debt...

So I follow India more and I like that but I posted something on this topic here a while ago and it might be an interesting impulse too. The index in Japan is up nicely this year. 😊 But also be careful not to make it like the $TSM come in, buy, wait a few months, take profit and done. 😊

India is great too, but it's definitely not as safe as Japan.

They've got a great momentum and they're pioneers in technology. It's not a bad country to invest in. Something is not going to happen there - they're not going to destroy another nuclear plant...

I think Buffett kicked the markets up quite nicely with his investment/visit there. The index could finally hit its highs after 35 years;) currently about +30% ytd

I agree, we'll see what he does by the end of the year.

Probably due to regulatory rules in the Japanese market. I guess they would then have to disclose something to $BRK-B which they don't really want to do 😉.

I knew right away that there was going to be some red tape involved 😀
