Currently published as a column on TOYOKEIZAI ONLINE: Questions that start to increase profits

Hello, this is Matsushita.

The Nikkei Stock Average continues to fall at the start of the week,

and has returned to a range of consolidation again.

Will we once again be able to seize the lift to rise?

In the previous live school lesson,

while looking at the faces of students in both stocks and FX,

I posed one question that is most important for making profits.

That is,

“Why do investments make money?”

This question asks you

why you think so,

a question that probes your own thoughts.

Therefore,

it is not an answer to say

or

“Because there are methods or rules to generate profits.”

That is not the answer.

We invest our hard-earned money in risk-filled markets

because we believe we can increase money here.

The above question

is a question to verify within yourself the breakdown of why you think you can increase money.

If you cannot answer this question in your own words,

you will still find it difficult to earn profits in market investing.

Because there is no reason to profit.

“Why do investments make money?”

For this question,

find your own answer and belief.

That answer will guide you toward profits.
