"Why are we still talking about the same thing even after 11 years" - A column currently published on Toyo Keizai Online

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

Yesterday, I prepared the materials for the next WEB seminar

that we will hold.

When I finished preparing the materials, I thought

“I’m telling the same story as 11 years ago.”

That was what I felt.

The theme I will talk about this time is

“The Reason for Profit.”

I cannot go into details, but

at the core of it are trends and money management.

In 2015, when I opened a investment school in Kansai,

the beginner course was about money management,

the intermediate course was about trends.

The diagram that was used in the materials at that time

is still used even after 11 years.

People who know me well know this is a familiar story,

and investors who have known me for a long time

say,

“Matsushita is talking about the same thing again.”

Why do you think I’m talking about the same things

even after 11 years?

Because, no matter how many years pass,

these are what truly lead to profits in investing.

And individual investors have not been able to use these

enough, not drawing out their potential.

Even the materials I prepared yesterday are

really basics,

but there is almost no one who can keep doing the basics.

Perhaps the reason is that those who can keep doing the basics

make up only about 20% of the market,

so unless time passes, only 20% of investors in the market

will win.

No matter how many years pass, what is important remains important, and

to win in investing, these basics are essential.

If you have a connection,

please come learn the investment basics that

Matsushita Makoto has been teaching for 11 years.

Probably even 11 years from now,

I’ll be telling the same story. (laughs)
