Stock investment is often perceived as difficult and complex.
Given the risk of investing hard-earned assets into a place where the asset value could potentially drop to zero, it is understandable to feel extra cautious.
Moreover, just the task of choosing a company from the multitude of options can be overwhelming and tiring.
Therefore, one approach could be to investigate companies that offer products and services in your daily life.
In my case, I use an iPhone for my personal and company-provided mobile phone. $Apple (AAPL.US)$ When I go to work, I use Windows for my tasks. $Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ Perform business using Windows.
The restaurant I often go to is $McDonald's (MCD.US)$ , of course, $Coca-Cola (KO.US)$ .
Once in a while. $Starbucks (SBUX.US)$ I will also use it.
In this way, it penetrates into our daily lives...

$Microsoft (MSFT.US)$ With good financial results, the stock price has increased significantly.
My workplace has introduced Office 365 as a matter of course, and I use it every day.
Applications and OS from the company that are installed as a matter of course in Japanese companies.
Will there be a sudden switch one day, for example, to Apple's Numbers or Keynote?
I feel " not ".
Even in one's own immediate environment, it is possible to gather enough information and knowledge about stock investment.
The company wants to hold shares permanently if possible.

$Coca-Cola (KO.US)$ Being viewed as a good financial result, the stock price is rising outside of trading hours.
Food-related stocks are indeed performing well, which is good.

Although a stock price decline is expected due to interest rate hikes, do you think it will bounce back in the second half of 2023? That's my personal financial estimates.
I am considering building up cash reserves firmly during this period to prepare for a downturn.

As mentioned in the news flash above, the stock price has been trending downwards recently.
However, I $Tesla (TSLA.US)$I want to continue to hold shares absolutely.
In the automobile industry, which is said to be undergoing a once-in-a-century major transformation, being a emerging manufacturer and a pioneer in BEVs brings significant shareholder benefits.
In the conservative auto industry, it is admirable to stake everything on BEVs.
Despite criticisms of Gigafactories and Gigapresses, Tesla is breaking the traditions of the conservative auto industry and becoming a new value provider.
Not only with BEVs, but also with Elon Musk's grand vision, connecting to SpaceX and Mars colonization plans, Tesla gives investors and core users the impression of having a dream.
Standing out from other auto manufacturers also adds an interesting aspect.
It is a very personal opinion, but I strongly believe in the company's development.
After all, there is a sense of excitement.
Whether it's Toyota, Nissan, or even Ferrari, I feel that it is very difficult to show this separate level of excitement.
In any case, I will continue to maintain a stance of holding onto my shares.

Thank you in advance.

Aiming to stabilize everyday life by increasing dividend yields
One reason I started investing in US stocks is that the dividend span is 3 months = once every 4 months.
If you simply distribute this and hold high-dividend stocks, “it will be extra income!” I had an honest motive.
So I immediately bought the US Stock Quarterly Report at a bookstore and started searching like a beginner...
Finally, we started holding the following 5 stocks sequentially.
5 stocks we have started holding
$Coca-Cola (KO.US)$ Dividend Yield: 2.79%
$AT&T (T.US)$ Dividend Yield: 5.57%
$Bath & Body Works (BBWI.US)$ Dividend yield: 4% over (at the time I held it, it was before the spin-off by Victoria's Secret, so ticker was a high dividend stock with LB)
$Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND.US)$ Dividend Yield: 2.98%
$iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (PFF.US)$ Dividend Yield: 4.2...

I'm reading a book called “100 Year History of Japanese Stock Investment Seen by a Legendary Fund Manager” by Yamashita Yuji.
As part of the Rakuten Securities service that has been established, I can read it for free on Rakuten Kobo.
Among them, I became interested in the memoirs written in the book.
In other words, it is described that when I joined Fidelity Securities, 50 billion yen was allocated even though it was immediately after joining the company, and I was instructed to manage it and produce results.
From the perspective of an individual like me who has never been involved in investing as a main business, I haven't been able to imagine what kind of work institutional investors do until now.
It was in the past (Showa era), and that may not be the case now, but I felt that the amount that institutional investors were armed with from the beginning was still an order of magnitude different.
At the same time, it may not be easy to imitate, but aren't there places where you can steal something? I also think so.
I keep reading, thinking that imitation is also a means.
After all, it's interesting to know history.

Trends in institutional investors have been difficult to find on investment information tool sites up until now, but they are really useful because they can be easily checked and grasped on moomoo.
For now, I feel that if I just add the above stocks to my portfolio, I think it's also a low price.
There's also a feeling that investing has become a little easier.
