Yoshinoya also appears low down in the list, so some people must have been fancying a free bowl of gyudon!

This time of the year many Japanese stocks issue vouchers to shareholders.Starbucks Japan was mentioned in the survey.On March 24th the stock was up 800 yen, on the 25th up 100 yen and the day after voucher eligibility March 26th dropped 2000 yen as shareholders who bought the stock dumped it after meeting voucher holding requirements. Interesting to buy a stock worth 50,000 yen hold it for a day and get a voucher for one free coffee and then sell it. Sounds like a great investment Ken, Great post.
