"A column is being published on Toyo Keizai ONLINE!" "The Shape of a 100 Million Yen Profit"
Good morning, this is Matsushita.
Somewhen in the past,
in media related to investment,
the keyword “100 million yen”
has started to proliferate.
A hundred million yen for everyone and their dog.
Reading like this,
I wondered if it’s the same phenomenon as the lottery winnings growing into hundreds of millions.
Regardless,
for people who are interested in stock investing or FX,
it’s nothing more than stoking gambling instincts.
However, the fact that it’s proliferating so much
also reflects that there are always people who pour money into it, driven by that fever.
Regarding the “profit of 100 million yen” that excites investors’ hearts,
consider it from the essence of the matter.
For example, you prepare 10,000,000 yen as the principal to achieve “
million yen profit.”If you can earn 1,000
that would be a 10,000%I suspect that a highly precise profit at this level is return, which could be deemed extraordinary success. achieved by fewer than one in ten thousand people,
whereas, with a principal of 1,000,000,000 yen and earning “100 million yen profit,”
that would be a 10% return. The hurdle for investments with this level of precision
naturally becomes lower, making it achievable for many investors. However,
preparing such a principal is almost impossible for most individual investors.
When considering investment profits, do not ignore the principal.
That kind of imagining is completely intangible, and that’s why it cannot be obtained.
Investing is not magic; it is management. Without making that mistake,
recognize your own principal and your profits correctly. When you do, you will hold tangible
profits. That is true investment success.
