Dealing with Large Gains on Japanese Stocks

It’s no secret Japanese stocks just keep going up and up. I have been investing in Japanese stocks for around 6 years. The list below are my holdings currently over 200% up. This list doesn’t include old NISA stocks already sold or take over bid stocks sold in the last few years.  If you invest in Japanese stocks how are you dealing with the gains?

  I sold Muji at the end of last year for a 300% gain. Recently, I have sold Furukawa Electric, Kawasaki HI and Mutoh. Mutoh is currently in TOB mode, with a 157% bid premium from Brother Industries. The combined profit Furukawa Electric and Kawasaki was over 3.6 million yen on an initial investment of 450,000 yen. Furukawa Electric was in the new NISA so no tax to pay on that.

  I have never invested in Nintendo but it is 40% off its peak. So, with this in mind I am trying to protect gains.

 Fukukawa Electric 857%

Unitika 762%

Kawasaki HI 740%

Six different banks average around 400%

Furukawa Metals 357%

Mutoh 324% (TOB)

Resonac 321%

Shimizu 300%

Muji 300%

Mitsubishi Electric 290%

Oki Electric 280%

Kobe Steel 260%

Mitsuba 250%

Exedy 240%

Sumitomo Metals 240%

Techno Horizon 201%

Coca Cola Bottlers of Japan 200%

  1. Just pay the taxes like the others do. I also pay the tax on the gains like others do. No tricks.

    Why worry about it when u could still earn it back and gain more again.

  2. **If you invest in Japanese stocks how are you dealing with the gains?**

    **You report them in your tax return then pay the necessary taxes on them (around 20% on capital gains from stocks).**

    **Are you asking how to pay taxes, or how to avoid paying taxes?**

  3. I feel for you OP. How *do* people deal with getting rich?

    My hopes and prayers to you!

    How to ‘protect your gains’? That’s simple, you sell your stock. Other than that, just keep winning… And as you only pick the most winning stocks, and don’t invest in stocks that go down… perhaps start a hedge fund?

  4. I thought the broker will hold 20% of the gains when you make a profit. And does not require a separate submission
