“Currently publishing a column on Toyo Keizai ONLINE!” How to effectively record an investment diary
Good morning, this is Matsushita.
The other day, on the 13th (Sunday),
the Makoto Investment School
Stock Investment Buying and Selling Techniques Mastery Course
I told the participants during the class.
“Please do everything I say.
If you do, your profits will increase.”
I teach actions to build the power of investing,
and by carrying them out, your profits will rise.
The first action is
introduced in the Stock Investment Start Course,
and the FX Start Course.
The course is free! Online School
Chapter 1 of this Start Course is “Reading a Book,”
Chapter 2 is “Keeping an Investment Diary.”
To make profits in investing,
you must read books and keep an investment diary.
In today’s class, I asked the participants,
“Are you keeping an investment diary?”
In response to this question, one participant
replied, “Right now I’m stopping trading, so I’m not keeping one.”
This is incorrect.
The most effective use of an investment diary is to keep it
while you are not trading.
If you actually trade and keep an investment diary,
you will have profits or losses, and in many cases it will become a loss,
wasting funds unnecessarily.
An investment diary is also for simulating trades
without actually trading, until profits start to appear.
Even if you simulate trades in the diary, you will lose and incur losses.
In such a stage, you cannot afford to invest valuable capital.
Please keep an investment diary before actually making real trades,
without conducting real trades.
Realize how stock investing and FX trading do not go as you expect,
and how much information on the internet is false,
and you will notice many things are not as claimed.
To realize this,
there is no need to lose tens of thousands to millions of yen of your precious funds.
After keeping an investment diary for 1–2 years,
I began to generate profits.
I am also a practitioner and experienced user of investment diaries.
Many readers of this column may think profits are not stable.
Even with 5 years of experience,
even with 10 years of experience,
in just 3 months of investment diary, you will learn and gain insights beyond your past experiences.
Start keeping an investment diary soon and
recognize the truth of this.
The investment diary supervised and authored by Makoto Matsushita is here.
