Taiwan's stock market reached over 22,000 points with TSMC leading the way by closing at 909 NT dollars, marking a historical high. However, long-term investors are finding it difficult to enter the market at this peak, prompting PTT stock forum users to suggest investing in high-dividend ETFs, particularly highlighting the performance of the Yuanta Taiwan High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (00713). Market analysts recommend a low-volatility investment strategy within this ETF, targeting undervalued industries and shifting stocks after moderate growth to avoid bubbles, with recent high-dividend ETFs displaying strong performance. Amid the AI stock trend, fund managers are now focusing on industrial and financial sectors rather than high dividend stocks like TSMC, and upcoming portfolio adjustments in these ETFs are anticipated to showcase their stock-picking strategies once again. The future of the Taiwan stock market seems to center around AI investments, with TSMC and AI supply chains being the key areas of interest for investors.

In an exclusive report on June 12, 2024, at 3:32 AM, a shocking incident took place on the Taipei MRT involving a female passenger. Two elderly individuals demanded that the woman give up her seat, and when she refused, a heated argument ensued. The woman eventually became emotional, hitting her head against a pillar in the train carriage and had to be taken to the hospital for treatment. Police investigated the matter, reviewed CCTV footage, and found that the truth differed from what the elder man claimed. The man initially accused the woman of having a bad attitude and insulting him verbally after refusing to give up her seat. However, police revealed through the surveillance video that the woman had not exhibited any aggressive behavior, and it was actually the elderly man who initiated the conflict. This incident has sparked widespread social attention and discussion, with many condemning the elders' behavior of coercing others to give up their seats, especially when the person has already expressed unwillingness. On the other hand, there are calls for more understanding and respect on public transportation, emphasizing that offering a seat should be voluntary rather than forced.
