Funds tripled in one night!

Entered the world of investing with IPO stocks, but...

Hello! This is Ishii from GogoJungle.

In this interview we had the opportunity to interview investor Ryo,we were honored to do so.

For those who may not be familiar with investor Ryo, this being the first installment,

in the interview video, we asked investor Ryo about the time when he entered the world of investing.

We asked him.

Raised by grandparents who taught him about stocks, and born into a family where his father was a banker—a financial blue blood,

what did Ryo think about entering the world of investing? The era was just before the bubble burst,

and we heard stories that evoke the dreams and romance of the bubble era.

We heard them!

That interview with Mr. Ryo—what kind of stories did we hear? First, a synopsis!!

■ Learning stocks from grandparents

・Back then, interest was so high that 100 million yen could support a lifetime of living

・He vaguely resolved to save 100 million yen

With 100 million yen, you can live a carefree life.

Passive income! Lifelong security! I’m sure everyone has thought that at least once.

I, too, have thought so many times, and I still do, and it seems Ryo thought the same in his student days.

That’s where ordinary people diverge!

If it were me, my part-time earnings would be play money and money to carry over to the next day.

Ryo is said to have saved up 1 million yen in his student days.

With that 1 million yen, rather than buying a motorcycle, a car, traveling, or brand-name goods, he saved it with the goal of investing.

While he was thinking how to use that 1 million for investing, his father, who was a banker,

“IPO investment”

began to suggest, “How about that?”

Explaining IPO

IPO stands for Initial Public Offering, where an unlisted company lists its shares on a stock exchange and allows investors to acquire shares.

IPO can fetch several times its price when listed; it’s one of the popular investment methods, but

it’s wonderful that Ryo’s father was the one who first recommended it!

As a result of investing that 1 million yen in IPO

■1,000,000 yen turned into 3,000,000 yen

There may have been some luck, but the fact that 1,000,000 yen turned into 3,000,000 yen overnight

Ryo says that experience was the trigger for him to enter the world of investing.

He said so.

1,000,000 yen to 3,000,000 yen!

If you hit four times, with compounding you could reach 100 million! Maybe that’s just me thinking, but

seeing it triple in front of your eyes naturally makes you rethink life in many ways.

It’s natural to have that turning point.

I would love to experience 1,000,000 yen turning into 3,000,000 yen at least once.

After that, when Windows 95 and Excel appeared, did he think he could analyze stocks with Excel, and could he discover any rules using Excel? So, in his twenties he developed stock analysis tools.

■ The analysis tool expands nationwide

In 1995, it was an era without smartphones, and without even garakei (feature phones).

It's been 27 years since then; analyzing stocks was quite a challenge.

The charting software MT4 (MetaTrader 4), well known to all, was released in 2005.

So, ten years before MT4, in an era when there was essentially nothing for analysis, Ryo’s foresight in developing an analysis tool is remarkable!

With the funds obtained from the analysis tool, Ryo aims for further heights!


He started real estate, restaurant, and staffing businesses.

❝

Two-pronged approach of business and investment

❞

Romance and aspiration include building a company, and achieving success in investing alongside it.

Ryo achieved both of these at the same time.

That’s all for today.

What happened next in the development is, what happened to the seemingly smooth life?! Please look forward to the next interview!
