“East Asia Economy ONLINE Column Published” Investment Performance Survey Results Announced!
Good morning, this is Matsushita.
Thank you very much for waiting.
At the very beginning of the year, with the cooperation of our readers,
the aggregation of the Personal Investor Investment Performance Survey has been completed,
and the introduction page has been completed, so we are publishing it.
"2016 Personal Investor Performance Report"
Originally, in January 2014,
the graduates of Makoto Investment School
began by asking about the previous year's investment results
for this survey, and since 2015 the survey has expanded to include
volunteer individual investors who are readers, and now
this time it has expanded to include the cumulative results since the start of investing,
as well as analyses of the reasons for gains or losses,
and a wealth of valuable data has been collected.
This content teaches important lessons for investment success, so
I would like to discuss each item one by one and explain it.
Today, first of all, I will look back at the original purpose of the survey
and the 2016 results of Makoto Investment School graduates.
Among the graduates who answered the survey,
the person with the best performance earned returns of “50–100% annual rate.”
This is a very large profit, and a wonderful performance.
For a 10 million yen investor, this means more than 5 million yen in profit,
for a 2 million yen investor, more than 1 million yen in profit,
so the magnitude and greatness of that performance can be understood.
As an investor, once in a few years,
you would want to undertake such substantial profits through robust investing.
There were also investors who earned profits of over 30% annualized and over 20%,
which is also a very impressive achievement.
Some graduates reported, “there was a loss last year,”
and each analyzed the causes and vowed to rebound this year.
Among those who reported this time,
there are graduates who, for the first time, graduated from the online school and earned a profit
and furthermore
achieved “profits for the first time in eight years since starting investing.”
There were many joyful reports.
The graduates introduced above are,
only those who volunteered to answer the survey,
and among those who did not answer the survey,
we are also hearing various stories of graduates who are making profits.
Many graduates are leveraging Makoto Investment School's
teachings in various forms and
consistently earning profits every year,
which reinforces the importance of learning and the meaning of teaching investment.
I will present more about this in tomorrow’s newsletter.
Looking at the entire investment population, those whose results since starting investing are losses
account for “as much as 75%.”
In other words, most people in the market
actually incur losses in investing.
Meanwhile, there are people who continue to generate profits,
and others who continue to incur losses.
I believe we should promptly acknowledge the causes,
start taking countermeasures, respond, and act.
That is what I think.
The countermeasures, responses, and actions are simply
to “learn more.”
For those who want to turn their investments into profits from this year onward,
I teach investing.
If you want to turn this year and future investment performance into profits,
start learning now.
