“A Successful Experience Attracts Itself” Column Published on Toyo Keizai ONLINE
Good morning, this is Matsushita.
In investing, there are many who have always faced failure,
and who continue to incur losses,
to be able to generate profits,
you sometimes hear that a “successful track record is necessary.”
Indeed, there may be some truth to that.
For someone who had been losing until then,
in order to accumulate profits, to have confidence in their own rules and methods,
it is certainly important to accumulate successful experiences.
However, the world of investing is
overwhelmingly one of failures,
a world where many people continue to lose.
Shouting at such people that they “need a successful track record” all at once
will not make them change suddenly.
So, without rushing,
let us begin shaping investments so that success becomes inevitable.
Investing in which success becomes inevitable is
an investment backed by theory and verification.
Theory can be learned,
and verification can be proven by one’s own actions.
I started investing a year and a half ago,
and I hardly won anything at all.
It was days full of losses.
During that time, I continued to study theories,
and at one point I encountered cycle theory,
and I continued to verify cycles.
One month, three months, six months,
as I continued to verify,
I began to think, “If I use cycle theory, I can win.”
And I began trading using cycle theory.
There, for the first time, I was able to capture the price movement I aimed for
and generate profits.
I achieved the success I had targeted.
Since then, I have kept accumulating successful experiences.
Learn the theory → verify it → practice it
→ achieve the targeted profits (=successful experiences)
In investing, a successful experience is something you achieve by aiming for it.
There truly exists such investing.
What I have taught my students so far is
this kind of investing.
To succeed in investing, indeed you need successful experiences.
Those experiences can be aimed for and realized by your own will.
If you want to know such successful experiences,
please feel free to come learn anytime.
I will teach you how to do it.
