“What removes investment anxiety?” — A column currently published on Toyo Keizai ONLINE
Good morning, this is Matsushita.
Today is the holiday of Labor Thanksgiving Day.
The stock and commodity exchanges are closed,
but the foreign exchange market is moving.
USD/JPY is showing a rapid yen appreciation,
so we need to be careful.
Recently, on the 19th (Sunday), the year’s last
lecture of Makoto Investment School ended,
and the students in the stock investment buy-sell technique course
graduated.
In this way, each time a course is held,
a certain number of investors graduate, and their expressions
are filled with expectation as they take flight.
Investors always
wrestle with the worry of whether they can continue to earn profits
in the days ahead.
No matter how much track record, experience, or capital they accumulate,
the market is such that one can lose a large amount of money in an instant,
and there is no such thing as security once you reach this point.
However, if there is one thing you can be sure of,
it is the sincere action of continually learning and reflecting on your own actions and results.
I believe this will not betray investors.
If you continue to learn, you will become stronger,
and by not becoming arrogant,
as long as you continually reflect on yourself and your funds,
although anxiety will not disappear completely,
there will be greater peace of mind and your funds will grow.
Knowing this, I have been teaching investment for more than 12 years.
Before you realize it, the day will come when I first began teaching investment is almost the 13th year.
Students I have taught have, thanks to my instruction,
been making profits for more than 10 years
still to this day.
When I think of that, teaching becomes enjoyable,
and learning becomes enjoyable.
From now, how many years will you continue to profit from investments?
For that reason, how much effort and how long will you devote to learning?
In 10 years, in 20 years, may what you are learning now
bloom to its fullest extent.
