An Investment Method with Important Drawbacks Featured in Toyo Keizai ONLINE Columns
Good morning, this is Matsushita.
Regarding the forum for exchanging opinions with newsletter subscribers
posts have been pouring in daily.
I hope they will align well with everyone’s motivation and
the enjoyment of investing,
and be a good fit.
What are the drawbacks of your investment method?
If someone asks you this,
how would you answer?
Can you answer right away?
Probably, isn’t it difficult?
I think so.
People cannot say their own drawbacks so quickly,
because they have not faced their own flaws.
I think the same applies to investing,
and in investing this is a major negative factor.
This is because the most important thing in investing is drawbacks,
and unless you have strengths that outweigh those drawbacks,
you will not make a profit.
However, investors dislike the drawbacks of their method,
so they look only for the strengths of the method,
and pay attention only to the positives.
Try looking at the first thing that will jump out at you now
on the advertising page of an investment product.
There should be no description of drawbacks anywhere on that page.
However, every investment method has drawbacks.
Since drawbacks lead directly to losses,
they are a life-and-death issue for you.
But you do not know the drawbacks of your investment method.
Or you do not try to face them.
And one day, when the drawbacks of that investment method are revealed,
days of losses begin, you will run away from that investment method,
and discard it.
That is the reason you still cannot make a profit.
I always say, “All investment methods have drawbacks,” and
specifically point them out.
But as I wrote before,
if there are strengths that outweigh those drawbacks,
if there is a魅力 that hides those drawbacks,
you can overcome the drawbacks and draw out the strengths.
Making a profit in investing is such a thing.
That is why the time to overcome drawbacks is painful in investing.
To say, “All investment methods have drawbacks,”
is synonymous with saying, “There is a painful time in investing.”
That is obvious, so
please overcome that obvious truth quickly.
To that end, I will ask again.
What are the drawbacks of your investment method?
What are the strengths and魅力 of your investment method?
If you have any thoughts or observations,
we would like to hear them.
We look forward to your posts on the bulletin board.
