[Immune System Destroyer] The thing you should reduce in daily life is indeed that one.
Hello, this is Shimoyama.
The battle between humankind and viruses will never end.
We don’t know when it will be, but
even when the coronavirus is over,
some form of virus that invades the human body
will surely appear again.
Therefore, the important thing is to keep your own immunity
strong at all times.
As long as you live a normal life,
it is impossible to completely avoid contact with viruses,
so you should build an immune system that can fight them.
However, in daily modern life
there lurks a “nemesis for the immune system”.
That nemesis is mercilessly
attacking the weapons our immune system has.
What is that nemesis?
Most likely something that exists in the everyday life of almost everyone.

When the immune system ages, it naturally weakens,
and stress accelerates that weakening.
We now understand the reason for this.
One of the immune system’s important weapons is
a group of cells called T cells that fight intruders.
(omitted)
the concentration of stress hormones such as
cortisol increases,
T cells die.

As written here,
the human immune system weakens with age,
and when stress is added, that weakening
is accelerated.
Living in this modern society,
almost no one can say they experience no daily stress.
There are many people who
bear a lot of stress in daily life,
and to protect your body and life,
you should avoid excessive stress as much as possible.
“Then I want to quit my job first,”
you may think. Many people probably feel that way.
“If I quit the company
I’ll be free from big stress for a while,”
some may think, but
it’s not that simple.
For example, after retirement,
suddenly there is nothing to do,
the relationships built at the company end,
and some people end up lonely.
“Loneliness” is said to be, like“stress,”
to be toxic to the body.

Gary Scales, a specialist in elderly care, says:
“Even in flu season,
older people who go outside, interact with others, and
spend more time among people
than those who are alone,
tend to catch colds and illnesses less frequently.”

From this, it is clear that
humans need to interact with society.
Even if you quit your job and are free from stress,
if there is nothing ahead,
you may be tormented by a new form of “loneliness.”
Nowadays, it is possible to live alone,
but
in ancient times, when humans hunted
being socially disconnected was equivalent to losing life.
Therefore,
the fear of social exclusion is
an instinct ingrained in humans,
and that’s why humans are said to be weak to “loneliness.”
Are you feeling
“stress” or “loneliness”
now?

The Pitfalls of Full-time Trading
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
Readers of this newsletter are likely
interested in stock investments, but
“I’ll become a full-time trader,
quit my job,and live a stress-free life!”
Many may think so,but
however,
even if you imagine a rosy, free life,
when you actually live as a full-time trader,
you may realize you have to fight loneliness.
There are people who end up lonely after earning from stock trading.
This would be completely pointless, right?
If you are serious about earning income from stock trading andwant to live as a full-time trader,
it is equally important to
as it is to learn investment methods,
and I recommend you consider it.
Having trading buddies to talk with and exchange information
can stabilize your mind just by that alone.
When your mind is stable,
it is natural for your health to improve,
and your trading results will likely improve as well.
However, you should be careful about
“what values others place on investment.”
This is an important consideration.
If your fundamental approach to investing is completely different from theirs,
it can actually become stressful.
Or if you surround yourself only with peers who share a misguided view of investing,
that mindset can pull you in too.
Having peers does not mean any old person will do.
If being around them feels uncomfortable,
they cannot be considered good friends.

Reality of Stock Academy
＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝
I have worked as a lecturer at a stock investment school called Stock Academy for many years,
and I’m happy to say
there are many people in Stock Academy who have formed supportive friendships
and mutually influence each other positively.
Depending on the course,
some people may not have many opportunities to meet others in real life,
but
that does not mean it never happens,
so those who seize opportunities and attend real-life events
to make friends.
For example, annually at a hotel venue, the
“Warren Buffett Award” ceremony is held.
This is a party that honors those who exceed 20% annual return.
Even if you don’t exceed 20%, you can participate.
See the venue atmosphere here.

Exchanging LINE at the venue often leads to daily information exchange,
holding study sessions,and many such stories are heard.
Indeed, because we learn the same methods,
our views on investment align, and
conversations flow across ages and occupations.
I hope you recognize the value of having trading peers.
Enjoy the rest of today as well,
and thank you for reading.
