I'm a solo trader specializing in Japanese small-caps and special situations.

 

I began my career as a trader at Goldman Sachs and later practiced law at Sullivan & Cromwell, giving me a unique edge—including leading a high-stakes proxy fight as a retail shareholder in a small Japanese public company. I successfully replaced the entire board and briefly served as CEO, fueling my passion for uncovering event-driven catalyst opportunities.

 

Enough about me—here's why I'm running this website. Consider these shocking statistics: Out of 3,900 listed companies in Japan, 2,900 lack analyst coverage with price targets.

 

Many quality Japanese firms face serious transparency issues because their market caps are too small to attract sell-side analysts. On top of that, I believe "more analyst reports" may not be the true answer to the transparency problem. Many of us don't really care to read full essays to make investing decisions.

 

What we need is a bullet-point summary of the stock price situation and variant views. Hence, Japan Guru—an English-language social media platform for Japanese stocks—where you can read, comment on, and bookmark all threads for free.
