The “2025 Updated List” of 70 stocks with consecutive dividend increases and 30 stocks with progressive dividends is perfect.

Since the beginning of 2025, there have been a series of securities account hijackings. Based on direct interviews with the Financial Services Agency and five major online securities companies, we’ve compiled a list of “What to do now and what to do if something happens.” We also interviewed Google. We spoke to an authentication security expert about the latest password management methods (safe and hassle-free)! Passwords are a necessity not only for securities accounts, but also for online shopping and other things. By reading this, you can learn the “common sense of security in the Reiwa era.” [New NISA ranking series]

Check out the rankings of investment trusts and stocks that were “actually purchased” from March to June 2025. Investment trusts, Japanese stocks, TSE ETFs, and US stocks are listed by category, sorted by purchase amount. Once again, five major online securities companies fully cooperated. They provided us with “raw data on the New NISA,” which is normally not made public. AERA has compiled and published this data! [Serialization is also going well] Also featured are serials by popular economic commentator Kazuyo Katsuma and billionaire office worker Haru Tachibana. In the 12th installment of “The CEO’s True Feelings and Pretense,” we feature Hideo Shirota, who recently left Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management.
