"A column currently published on Toyo Keizai ONLINE! After profits continued to rise"

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

Recently, many Japanese investors have enjoyed the time to widen profits.

This is because the Nikkei Stock Average continued to push its daily high,

and yesterday (10/25) the high was, for the first time in half a year since the end of April,

a high.

Additionally, the USD/JPY, from its range-bound movement,

yesterday's high (10/25) recovered to a high not seen since the end of July,

for three months.

Buying domestic stocks and buying USD/JPY

during yesterday's trading session, recovered from profits and losses in unrealized gains,

reaching half a year, and three months respectively.

This means a recovery from unrealized profits or losses occurred.

It is strange how when profits are steadily rising,

we want them to rise even more, and hope they will keep rising,

and our feelings grow stronger,

but if you think calmly, prices cannot rise indefinitely,

and rising prices will eventually enter a correction downwards.

Today (10/26) may be the first day of such a decline correction.

But there is no need to despair.

If there is an uptrend forming in the market,

the characteristics of rise in time and magnitude > fall in time and magnitude

will reappear, and eventually the fall will stop,

and rising in time and magnitude will begin again, surpassing the previous decline.

Thus profits will expand.

However, the above outlook is based on the assumption that

an uptrend is forming.

Therefore, when continuing to buy,

the formation and confirmation of an uptrend are important.

Alternatively, when entering buys,

the formation and confirmation of an uptrend are important.

An uptrend is a price movement that broadens the profits of our financial assets.

The four-character word everyone knows, “trend,”

has that great power.

The time during which profits increase is long.

The assets rise more than they fall.

That is a wonderfully pleasant time.

An uptrend creates it.

“Trend is friend.”

This is a maxim of overseas investing.

Becoming friends with the trend, making it your ally,

and achieving investments with a pleasant mood.

For investments that generate profits, like the “trend” explained today,

there are clear reasons, and unless you learn them, you cannot acquire them.

If you want to learn clear reasons for making profits,

is where you should learn.

Profit is something you win with your own power.
