Today's theme is,
“Profit-taking is a thousand-strong power.”
As the first column of the year, it is a lucky theme.
(Coincidentally. LOL)
For the entire year this year,
let's profit-taking firmly.
【Column】 Makoto Matsushita's Investment Exploration
No. 180 “Profit-taking is a thousand-strong power”
In investing, “profit-taking” means increasing one's funds,
and can be considered as proof of achieving a goal. If you increase funds through profit-taking,
it becomes easier to bear risk in the next trade, and the edge is
enhanced, which is why profit-taking has substance.
This power is precisely why it is said to be “profit-taking is a thousand-strong power.”
Profit-taking is performed by the investor's will and decision.
In other words, profit-taking is a power that comes after the investor's clear decision,
and is worthy of high regard. However,
it's strange, but many investors regret even after taking profits;
“I sold too early. If I had held on longer,
I could have increased my profits.” They always speak with what-ifs,
and never show appreciation. This investor will never be satisfied with their own profit-taking, no matter how long time passes. There is no such thing as the best profit-taking.
There is no need to regret the profit-taking that you carried out according to your own decision.
Profit-taking is the result of the investor's own decision,
and as a consequence, you can gain the power of profit as evaluation of that decision.
First, let's face this result head-on and be grateful,
and not forget it. Without a grateful heart, profits
will not come back to you.
Profit-taking is the evaluation and power of your decision.
When you profit-take, be sincere in your thanks.
If you do so, profit-taking will visit you again,
and you will be able to accumulate profit-taking in gratitude.
