An article is currently published on Toyo Keizai ONLINE: Next year starts with opportunity

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

The last week of this year has begun, hasn’t it?

Both the stock market and the foreign exchange market are generally

experiencing a decrease in liquidity,

so this week I want to focus on adjusting risk management positions rather than active trading.

We should be careful about adjusting risk management positions rather than actively buying and selling.

It’s almost the time to talk about next year,

and we’ve entered a time frame where that isn’t strange,

so let’s lightly touch on the market for next year.

First, at the start of next year,

it will undoubtedly begin with a chance.

Because strong uptrends are forming in both the stock market and the foreign exchange market,

A trend is “a price movement that tends to continue,” so

there is no consideration that it will end without a reason.

Therefore, next year will start with the continuation of a bullish uptrend,

which means it’s a chance.

However, trends always have intermediate pullbacks, and

trends also always have an end.

That is exactly why, being able to “identify trends”

becomes a power to generate profits in investing.

In any market, at any time,

“When a trend appears, investors can profit.”

This is a fact, so

let’s become capable of identifying trends reliably.

If you hold that perspective firmly,

it isn’t that difficult a thing.

We want to make good use of the start-of-next-year opportunities

and take advantage of them.

“What is a trend?”

If you can answer this clearly and concretely when asked,

you will be able to use trends to generate profits.

If you hesitate and can only give vague answers,

unfortunately, you cannot yet profit from trends.

Please study carefully.

Correct understanding and knowledge do not betray investors.
