It's a talent agency crossed with a merchandise empire, crossed with an events business, but it's for a whole new generation of digital entertainers.
What unique characteristics define the Japanese stock market?
And the reason an investor might be interested, despite what I just said, is that its revenue with one, two, three, four, five, seven years is growing like crazy. It's compounded annual growth rate and revenue This is annual compounded is 62% and yet the stock price is hitting near historical lows. Welcome to Stock Club, the podcast where we find and discuss stocks that anyone can buy, many of which we believe will go on to grow your wealth. Hello, Mike. How are you this week? I'm good. Should I say konnichiwa? Yes, say konnichiwa.
How does Sanrio leverage its historical brand for growth?
episode will be going out when you are in japan we are pre-recording it um so we said we would have a look at the japanese market because we were running out of ideas and you were going to be in japan so maybe next week we'll be talking about stocks from the algarve or stocks from costa del sol But we needed to do one that's somewhat evergreen. And I think no better subject than Japan. What I mean by evergreen, folks, is that we're obviously recording this before I go to Japan. I don't recreate my home studio everywhere I go.
Why is Smaregi positioned to benefit from Japan's cashless transition?
And it needs to have somewhat of a shelf life, which often when you're commentating on the market's latest story is like three minutes, especially if Mr. Musk is involved. But I give you a laugh. So my friend Peter Slagers of Compounding Quality wrote an email today. in our time, not your time, about Morgan Housel. And coincidentally, I've had both Peter and Morgan on the show, as you know, Mike. And he reminded me that Morgan said, Japan doesn't only have the longest living humans, It also has the longest living businesses. And so these ultra durable businesses are also known as Shanisa. And there's approximately 140 businesses in Japan that are claimed to be over 500 years old, and a handful of them claim to be over 1000 years old.
So if we can't find and build an evergreen podcast, from a list of businesses that are ostensibly thousand years old well we can do nothing but let me tell you something this is the bit that gave me the laugh so these 500 odd uh sorry these businesses that have survived for 500 years to 140 or so companies um basically
How is VRAIN Solution revolutionizing manufacturing with AI?
do it with just two rules they hold tons of cash and they avoid debt which is something peter lynch always said and then and this is the bit i just got a chuckle there's a list of the world's oldest businesses in various different categories First one is the oldest hotel in the world is in Japan, 705 years old. By the way, I'm not going to read out the names because I don't want to go there. I'm not going to unveil my Japanese pronunciation ignorance.
What makes ANYCOLOR an unusual player in the media industry?

How is BuySell Technologies capitalizing on Japan's second-hand market?
All this tea company, Japan. All this metal work company, Japan. All this sake company, hardly surprising, Japan.
What is OneCareer and how is it transforming recruitment in Japan?
All this pharmacy in the world, Japan. All this pub in the world, Sean's Bar, Ireland. I was like I was like I got one for this yeah found it in the year 900 I'm like we just can't shake our stereotype are you joking me like we have like the oldest metalworks companies they were probably making samurai swords meanwhile now in fairness don't talk down in John's bar it takes a long lot of stuff now to keep a bar going for over a thousand years so fair play to him Cash and no debt, seemingly. Well, it's interesting you're talking about cash and no debt because... Have you been to Sean's bar? Sorry, I'm totally... I thought you were going to say, have you been to Japan? Have you been to Sean's bar? I'll have been to Japan before I've been to Sean's bar, which is kind of quite the stretch.
Have you been to Sean's bar? No. No, me neither. And it's in Athlone, is it? Yeah, it's not like it was a thousand years ago. I think it's just a normal pub, but it's been functioning as a pub in that location for over a thousand years.
