“East Asia Economics ONLINE column currently published” Last night, I was looking at the Nikkei Stock Average chart...

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

Last night, as usual,

when I was looking at the Nikkei 225 chart,

I got a completely different impression than before.

There is a reason in the book I have been rereading many times recently, and

what the book describes

the price movement that followed exactly as written was reproduced.

I see, that price movement had

such meaning...

Thus, once again,

a new meaning of price movement,

a new angle of analysis became possible.

The first time I bought stocks was more than 16 years ago.

Since then, this has continued all along.

In other words, investors can continue to grow.

Isn’t that incredibly enjoyable?

I am currently 49 years old,

and physical growth and the peak of the body

are long past, and in this aspect

continuous growth is not realistic.

In terms of intelligence and experience, growth is possible, but

it is fair to say that evaluation is very difficult.

However, growth as an investor is different.

An investor can continue to grow

until the moment they stop investing.

And it can be evaluated reliably.

Do not evaluate investment in a short-sighted way,

based only on temporary increases or decreases in capital.

Investment is a more long-term, large-scale activity worthy of evaluation.

One night, while looking at a single chart,

I can realize my own growth after 16 years.

Please recognize this enjoyment.
