I started getting interested in this weird Japanese holding when they bought ARM, owners of the cpu technology which in the heart of most smartphones and pads.

Not sure wether the crazy Masayoshi Son is trying to build a funny collection or he has something in mind.
I am basically trying to invest in a possibly crazy genius.

Apparently on the year ending March 2017 softbank had flat revenue growth, but healthy earnings growth.
