Mr. Kantarou, thank you for joining us today!
Has your investing history already exceeded 20 years? |
|

|
| Kantarou |
|
| Yes,this year marks 21 yearsin investing. |
|
So you’ve been doing this since around 2004, right?
In the first place, were you aiming to start a business? |
|
|
|

|
| Kantarou |
|
At that time I was a salaryman, saving money to eventually start my own design-related company.
When I resigned and thought, “Now I’ll start a company,” I happened to learn about FX through online ads.
I had no prior investment experience, but I had time, and I thought, “Let’s give it a try,” which started 21 years ago. |
|
The financial products he traded include FX, gold, crude oil, coffee, sugar, Japanese stocks, US stocks, French stocks, ETFs, cryptocurrencies...!? |
| Was FX from the start the sole focus? |
|
|
|
| GoGoNyan |
|
|
|
| Kantarou |
|
FX, of course, and in commodities he trades gold and crude oil, as well as coffee and sugar.
He also trades stock indices and individual stocks—Japanese stocks, US stocks, and even UK and French stocks. He has traded ETFs and cryptocurrencies as well. |

|
| Kantarou |
|
Mostly self-taught.
I learned by diligently reading books and charts. |
|
Buying means it goes down, selling means it goes up. A trading life that started like this. |
It wasn’t smooth sailing from the very beginning, was it?
How was it in the early days? |
|
|
|
| GoGoNyan |
|
|
|
| Kantarou |
|
I was losing most of the time.
Buying means it goes down, selling means it goes up.
There were occasional wins, but the first year was especially brutal. |
|
| Given you needed living funds after retirement, it must have been quite tough, right? |
|
|
|
| GoGoNyan |
|
|
|
| Kantarou |
|
|
Yes. I couldn’t afford to take things easy.
I’d like to delve into those hardships and how I started winning in the next part.
Mr. Kantarou, thank you for today! |
