  • 182251542 : The more policy-held shares are sold, the less money flows back into Japan, and tax revenue, salaries, and corporate internal reserves are reduced. Headed straight for a poverty society, not satisfied with just stocks traded on the market, but forcing the disposal of policy-held shares to weaken Japanese companies. What is the Japanese government trying to achieve!

  • k0ta81r1 : From an amateur's perspective, if we sell the policy holding shares, the company will instantly increase its profits by the selling amount, but the shareholding status will be resolved and the floating shares of the company's stock in the market will increase. I think that if there are more shares in the market, it will lead to a decrease in the company's stock price. I wonder how adults are thinking?
