Although I'm not a shoe-shining boy, there are many opinions such as "it seems that you can make money by buying stocks," "because the sky's the limit, let's buy a leveraged ETF so as not to miss out," "the evaluation value keeps dropping, what should I do," and "I'm so anxious, let's follow people who are making positive comments and calm down." It's a common pattern to research the content myself or leave the decision to someone else and end up getting badly burned. But once it comes to this, I become overly defensive against negative opinions and stop listening to others' opinions.
codeOZ(家長) : I see the act of provoking as part of the comment culture or as an indicator. It is sad that the number of people who feel uncomfortable and post information decreases.
アマチュア投資家 OP codeOZ(家長) : To put it bluntly, there seems to be an increase in poorly written comments, so I've come to realize that YouTubers who lure and provoke with thumbnails are profitable. I have seen many instances of people buying high-risk commodities without thorough research, feeling denied when warned, launching attacks, encouraging each other to withstand the decline, but ultimately ending up with no success. It doesn't change, does it.
大負けネコ(Hihi Exe) : Nice to meet you. I occasionally refer to your posts as a predecessor or senior figure regarding 'stocks, ETFs, and foreign exchange in the American market.' I entered the 'American market' last November as a beginner in American market investment. However, I started with 'investment trusts' over 20 years ago, suffered a painful lesson of asset halving due to the '2008 Lehman shock,' got caught up in 'extremely busy work without being able to cut losses and left it,' returned to the American market recovery, and changed to investing in 'Japanese stocks.' I have over 10 years of 'investment experience' in Japanese stocks, experiencing both plummeting losses and tearful 'cutting losses,' as well as skyrocketing gains and holding 'dream tenbagger achievement stocks,' learning from hardship, studying, and seeking revenge in turn. The major 'lessons' learned in the process are mainly four. 1. Do not entrust 'investment decisions to others = investment is a world of self-responsibility' for buying and selling. 2. Even if you obtain some 'potentially profitable information,' do not take it at face value, but acquire information from multiple sources (= information media), obtain different perspectives, and make a purchase with a clear buying basis that is objectively considered to be based on evidence. 3. Understand the 'minimum information about stocks, ETFs, etc.' of the securities yourself, and buy and sell while aware of the stock-specific risks such as upside and downside risks. 4. When it comes to 'investing,' limit the 'risk you can take ⇒ basically, within a range where a 50% reduction in investment assets does not affect your lifestyle.' That's it. My main battlefield is the 'Japanese stock market,' with a certain online securities company as my 'main account,' and trading with other securities companies like moomoo securities is a 'place for experimental buying, collecting various information.' These multiple securities firms do not have a 'moomoo securities bulletin board-like, freely expressing opinions' or engage in irresponsible agitations, and there is no community. I think 'moomoo securities is an innovative presence.' With introductions from 'American analysts,' 'knowledge and reference opinions from seniors like you,' 'views from famous individual investors,' and others, even as a free member, 'this amount of information is overwhelming,' and you can also comment anonymously on such 'reference opinions.' However, it is not right for 'adults to blame everything on others (= reference opinions),' or to 'interfere' with posts made out of good intentions (= well, I don't fully trust them myself). In online bulletin boards, as in online communities, 'since comments can be made anonymously,' there are also 'malicious posts or comments' such as 'buying hype' and 'selling hype.' However, I think it is the responsibility of 'each individual to judge the truth of the information.' I am 'not very smart,' so I am a 'frontal breakthrough' at the 'city gate.' Sometimes, there are people among the users of 'moomoo securities' who do not seem to understand the 'common sense that investment is a world of self-responsibility.' Are you a 'beginner who started investing after January with the NISA investment expansion?' Or are you a 'beginner who started handling Japanese stocks after April?' For such people, if you are unfamiliar with the recent 'market' and 'bad market conditions' causing losses, please buy a book like 'Anyone Can Do NISA Investment' or 'Even Beginners Can Understand American Stocks' and read it thoroughly. It should also cover not only stocks but also ETFs, and the advantages and disadvantages of 'bull and bear type investment trusts.' Dear amateur investors, I can understand your opinions and feelings as a matter of the heart. However, I would be happy if you could continue to 'post' with the traditional stance without becoming pessimistic. Only a handful of 'interfering' with malicious intent. I judge that the vast majority of people are sympathetic. I apologize for the long comment. Thank you in advance.
アマチュア投資家 OP 大負けネコ(Hihi Exe) : Thank you for your warm comments. I deeply empathize with what you are feeling, having experienced the market for a long time. It is wonderful to see a humble attitude, and I think that those who approach the market with the mindset of "even professionals in the field are often wrong in their predictions, so I have no way of knowing" can continue to be involved in the market as a part of their life. After hearing your story and reflecting on myself, I realized that there are quite a few people who lack the ability to make judgments and tend to make strong assumptions, which leads to their downfall. That's why I sometimes can't help but express my concern. However, in most cases, I end up being criticized and blamed by the other person, rather than receiving gratitude. For example, in the current market situation, prices are hovering near the all-time high, and I wonder what those who are afraid of a downturn at this point would do if a real adjustment phase comes. Are they financially stable? I can understand that they may be feeling anxious, especially if their assets have already been significantly reduced due to the impact of foreign exchange rates. However, of course, I also don't know what will happen in the future, despite the increased risks. So if the market returns to an upward trend again, I will likely become the target of attack from those people, saying, "See, I told you so!" What I want to say is not that, but maybe it is unreasonable to expect such a level of understanding in this kind of place. From my own experience in the aforementioned field, I haven't felt down at all. I have come to the realization that those who don't understand will never understand. Nevertheless, thanks to you, I feel a little lighter now. Thank you very much. I look forward to your continued support.
