Achieve the highest profit-taking

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

I have been teaching people about investing for 12 years,

and during this time, there are several典型的な質問 that I have continuously received.

There are probably dozens of patterns.

Questions about taking profits are also

one of those典型的な質問.

“When should I take profits?”

It certainly is a troubling question.

However, the truth is there is no single best answer to this dilemma.

Because at the exact moment profits reach their peak,

no one can take profits then.

Yet, human nature is strange,

and when profits start to decline from their peak,

people regret, “I should have taken profits back then.”

Isn’t that odd…?

Since the peak of profits cannot be known by anyone,

it’s natural that you cannot take profits at that moment.

Therefore, this regret is one that you do not need to have and is a useless regret.

First, you need to accept this.

If you accept this, then what you do in taking profits is to

decide whether you will take profits before profits peak, or after profits peak and start to fall,

and choose one of the two.

The reasons are as stated above.

Thus, you move steadily closer to your own

best possible profit taking.

In theoretical terms,

in practical terms,

there is no such thing as the absolute best profit take.

However, by approaching the best profit take,

you can obtain your own best profit taking.

Know this difference and

decide what constitutes your own best profit taking.

If you do so, you will be liberated from the burden of a question with no answer.

Having watched countless individual investors like you for 12 years,

I truly believe this.

Know that you can resolve investment worries yourself,

and please resolve them.

That repetition makes investing easier.
