Good morning, this is Matsushita.
I receive inquiries and concerns from many individual investors every day.
Among them, I often get requests like,
Please tell me specific rules,
Please tell me specific buying and selling methods,
and so on.
Regarding these specific methods,
today I would like to write about them.
In media such as newsletters or columns,
I cannot teach specific buying and selling methods.
This is technically impossible.
Therefore, to resolve this,
I have established in Makoto Investment School
the FX Trading Skill Acquisition Course,
the Stock Investment Trading Techniques Acquisition Course,
special courses to acquire specific buying and selling skills,
and just the day after tomorrow
these courses will start.
Under my guidance, those who want to learn specific buying and selling methods,
please join these courses.
In this course, we will teach specific buying and selling methods with full effort.
In the newsletter, we will explain two approaches that lead to your specific buying and selling methods.
There are only two ways to invest/trade.
1. Trend following
2. Counter-trend chasing
of these two.
There is a special method called spread trading (arbitrage) as a trading technique,
but this is simply a trading method that uses hedging, so
we will exclude it from today’s discussion as a special method.
Trend following means checking the trend and
trading in the same direction as that trend.
Buy during an uptrend,
and sell during a downtrend.
Counter-trend means that the asset’s price has formed an excessively extreme level that theoretically shouldn’t occur,
and in that situation, trade in the opposite direction of the near-term movement,
buying or selling accordingly.
Sell at the peak of an uptrend or during a rapid rise,
and buy at the bottom of a downtrend or during a rapid fall.
Warren Buffett, the world’s top stock investor,
buys stocks of companies he deems worth investing in when their prices have fallen to levels
that are unbelievably cheap compared to his assessment,
and are sufficiently cheap relative to his valuation.
Buffett’s investment strategy is not quite reducible to a cliché like “counter-trend,”
but as a way of thinking, it is counter-trend oriented.
There are two major categories of buy/sell methods,
and because trend following tends to persist for a long time,
it divides into several tactics.
Chances are, as you read this newsletter,
you may think, “This is not a concrete explanation at all,”
but truly concrete explanations can only be taught thoroughly.
With just thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of characters,
you cannot uncover your own specific buying and selling methods.
And right now, the explanations above are actually sufficiently concrete for some people.
I have read such books myself and have developed my own buying and selling methods.
A major problem for those who want to know concrete buying and selling methods is
the question, “Which method is profitable?”
There is no method that guarantees profit.
Rather than “a profitable method,”
you need a clear intention or awareness of what you want to do,
your own clear will and purpose.
The buying and selling methods for investment/trade
and ways to make a profit can be simply categorized into eight patterns.
Even if you simply separate these by trading duration,
you quickly arrive at about 30 patterns.
Among methods that are so finely subdivided,
there is no method that makes everyone profitable.
With one method you can make a profit,
but with other methods you cannot.
Recognizing this and
asking, “What do I want to do?”
and cultivating that awareness is necessary, or your time in investing will be wasted.
The starting point to finding what you want is whether to buy strong points by riding the trend,
or to buy where prices have fallen to an unbelievably low level,
these two choices.
First, answer this question to discover your concrete buying and selling method.
