Buying at the Top and “Catching a Falling Knife”: My Failure Story

​I really messed up! 😰

​I used to be a full-fledged securities lady, albeit for a short time! 💰

​What Happened? ⚡

​While the Nikkei average kept climbing well past 70,000 yen, my own portfolio of “excellent high-dividend stocks” was in the red!

I was getting anxious and panicked. 😱

I felt like I had to jump in before I missed the boat. ⏳

​I was influenced by a famous investor on YouTube who kept saying, “The Nikkei will easily break through 80,000 yen.” (I still believe that it will reach 80,000 yen someday!)

​Just after the Nikkei average crossed 70,000 yen and started having repeated pullbacks, I bought the “Nikkei 225 Index” and a “Nikkei Semiconductor Fund.”

​Today, I’m crying over my unrealized gains. (Crying) 😭

​Regarding the Nikkei index, I ended up repeating “averaging down” (nanpin), which was like trying to catch a “falling knife↓.” Now, I’m completely exhausted. 😱

​The “Reality Check” from AI

​When I asked AI to perform a technical analysis of my current situation, the reality it presented was brutal.

• ​Now is NOT the time to average down (nanpin). ✖
• ​There is a high possibility that it will continue to fall. ↘

​I felt like I was being shown exactly how I had been widening my own wounds.

​Lessons Learned 😰

​Why did this happen? Looking back calmly, there were three clear problems.

1. ​I bought without technical analysis. I just dove in on impulse without even looking at the charts. (My excuse: I hadn’t learned technical analysis yet. I’m studying it now! 📈)
2. ​I was swayed by an investor on YouTube. I had no solid rationale of my own and took someone else’s words at face value.
3. ​I strayed from my motto. My motto is “investing in excellent high-dividend stocks.” Yet, I ignored that principle this time and ended up investing a considerable amount of money.

​My Resolution for Today

​I’m physically and mentally drained from the stress of these unrealized losses.

My shoulders and eyes hurt from staring at the screen too much.

​Looking back, I’ve been thinking about nothing but investing lately, and my house is a mess.

​For today, I’m taking a break from looking at the stock market.

I’m going to start by cleaning my cluttered room.

I’ll clear my head and hit the reset button while I clean.

​Still, I’m aiming for 100 million yen, so please continue to support me! 🙇
