Then, click again on 購入 in the NISA option.
Perfect, I think that's me set. Thanks for the help. :D

That's just what I'll do, thanks.

Navigating Monex - one-time NISA purchases

Hi all, Basic question here, but I'm trying for the first time to make a one-time purchase of eMaxis slim in my NISA, but am having trouble navigating the Monex website (setting up my NISA through Monex a few years back was also not the easiest process). I haven't been able to find any video guides ...

Re: Crypto basics

That's a great article and kinda sums up how I feel about Crypto, it's just a small way to hedge my bets and minimise regret! Doubt I'll ever put in a significant amount though. I'll probably buy a tiny amount soon, regardless of the price, just to see how the process works, then put a little more i...

Re: Crypto basics

Not much, other than just use a small amount of your investint, don't trade (the tax reporting and levels are prohibitive in Japan), trading between coins is also a taxable event here. Thanks Ben, that’s the plan. Buy a little then sit on it for a decade or two and see if it’s worth anything at the...

Crypto basics

Hi all, I'm thinking about dipping my toes into Crypto, just a (very) small amount to figure out how it works and potentially hedge my bets a little. Does anyone have any practical advice for getting started? It looks like a lot of people recommend Bitflyer and Coincheck, are there any appreciable d...

Re: Worth getting cancer coverage with mortgage life insurance?

It’s case by case. I would 1) take the insurance terms offered by bank 2) go to your insurance broker or any of the ones in a nearby shopping mall and get an offer to compare costs and benefits. What I would deem important to check is really the conditions after the one time payment. The bank’s int...

Re: Worth getting cancer coverage with mortgage life insurance?

Some things to consider: would it be cheaper to buy separately? How much is the higher rate going to cost you over the span of the mortgage? (Don't have any experience with this personally) It looks like it'll be about ¥14,000 a year, so not too expensive, although over 30 years it'll add up. I'm j...

Re: Worth getting cancer coverage with mortgage life insurance?

Thanks for the advice all, we'll probably get it as it's not overly expensive.

Worth getting cancer coverage with mortgage life insurance?

Hi all, We're hoping to buy a cheap manshon in the near future and have applied for mortgages with a couple of banks. As most of you know, they seem to require you to get group life insurance when you buy a place and we're just wondering if we should go for the most basic insurance or a slightly mor...
