<li>I published a Sep25 Nikkei 225 prediction list last Wednesday. By Friday, we had a new paradigm due to an ad hoc change. That new paradigm informs the September selection. </li>
<li>As it is, I expect one (1) ADD (<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/shift-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:7266:1" rel="noopener">Shift Inc (3697 JP)</a>) and one (1) DELETE (<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/tokuyama-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14781:1" rel="noopener">Tokuyama Corp (4043 JP)</a>) - a prediction which change on a corporate announcement.</li>
<li>My confidence on the ADD is a little lower due to the implications of the choice of Rohm. And the interesting ECM trade for September remains Sony Financial. </li>
