Update Hogy Medical (JP:3593)
Quite strange things happened at Hogy Medical.
In May management announced that Masao Hoki, founder and director of Hogy Medical, has the intention to retire from business. It wasn't any surpirse to me, given that Masao Hoki is 91 now. But what came as a huge surprise was a news release that was accompanied.

The Disturbing - Sony (JP:6758)
Gonna skip presenting the company, as we all know it too well. It's a Sony.
Only going to mention, that Sony's got a business segment that not many people know about. That is financial services (e.g life insurance) and is the only one, which is significantly contributing positively to its bottom line.
