A few strong Japanese ETFs with broad market exposure:
- EWJ (iShares MSCI Japan): Tracks large/mid-cap stocks, ~85% of Japan market cap. Liquid leader with $18B+ AUM.
- FLJP (Franklin FTSE Japan): Low-cost (0.09% ER), covers 500+ stocks for diversified large/mid exposure.
- DXJ (WisdomTree Japan Hedged): Currency-hedged, focuses on quality exporters and dividends for broad play without yen risk.
Japan's deep value setup makes these timely. DYOR.
@Disciple4Lif@marcorubio Who cares. Iranian religious regime government killed thousands of its own people. So who cares.
It’s because of nuclear weapons it’s because they mass killed people it’s because of oil. It’s because of safety.

Plastic blenders are a source of microplastics that most people overlook.
Those with plastic jars or pitchers release microplastics, and even nanoplastics, into blended food or drinks due to friction and mechanical abrasion during blending.
A single 30-second blending cycle can release up to 1 billion (yes, with a "b") micro- and nanoplastic particles.
BPA-free products are safer but can still release particles due to heavy use, heat, or abrasion. My advice is to switch to a completely stainless-steel blender. It's the only way to avoid contamination.

Hayek was asked to leave “a statement for the future generations.” His response is brilliant:
“Modern civilization which enables us to maintain 4 billion people was made possible by the institution of private property. It is only thanks to this institution that we achieved an extensive order far exceeding anybody’s knowledge.”
“If you destroy that moral basis, which consists in the recognition of private property, we will destroy the sources which nourish present-day mankind, and create a catastrophe of starvation beyond anything mankind has yet experienced.”
