• Young Investors, Buy the Future: Read with the 5 "Shin" — Shin, Shin, Shin, Shin, Shin
The number of internet accounts reflecting individual investors’ movements has increased significantly, the fourth time in the past 20 years.
Japan Securities Dealers Association: as of the end of September 2020, internet accounts increased by 1.63 million compared with the end of March of the same year.
The number of accounts as of the end of March 2021 is unknown, but if you simply double this figure, the annual increase would surpass the 2005–2006 period (3.06 million accounts) and would be the highest on record.
Since 2019, the number of accounts has been rapidly increasing.

Here, the generations of individual investors are organized.
“Generation 1” emerged around the IT bubble of 2000. “Generation 2” surged during the new tech bubble of 2005–2006.
“Generation 3” appeared from 2013 to 2016 in response to the Abenomics market. In all cases, there were few young investors in their 20s.
In the “Generation 4” from 2019, along with the “2 million yen in retirement” issue and social anxiety due to COVID-19, more young people began investing for old age.
From Generations 1 to 3, despite differences in investment targets and methods, the primary motive was to “make substantial profits.”
However, with Generation 4, which began prioritizing future-oriented investment due to the pandemic, the motives are becoming more diversified.
Profit, even if small, is fine as long as it eliminates anxiety about retirement; invest to participate in the growth of companies; and invest to solve social anxieties.
We will interpret using the five subtle “Shin” — Evolution, Penetration, Deepening, True Value, New System.
• Young Investors, Buy the Future: My Investment, This is Shin-jo
The issue of “2000 yen retirement” and social anxieties from the new coronavirus are changing the way younger generations think about investing.
【Evolution】Analyze fundamentals. Long-term holding is important. Focus on life plans rather than immediate gains.
A challenging mental investment environment; impatience wears one out; keep your mental state stable.
【Penetration】Not only returns, but whether you are contributing to society; participate in management through equity-based crowdfunding (CF).
The companies targeted by equity-based CF generally have weak operational strength. It is undoubtedly a high-risk, high-return investment.
Individual investors also approach with “disposable funds,” making risk management important.
