I feel like I’ve been seeing more and more extremely generous papas lately. Is the economy doing well?

I get the impression that many of them are business owners who’ve made a fortune investing on the side.
Do you all invest?
Do you ever talk about investments with your PJs?
Also, how did you learn about it? Is investing something you can get good at if you study?

With the situation in Ukraine and the coronavirus issue, the Nikkei is falling, while the yen is weakening. U.S. stocks dropped and then recovered, so they’re probably about even overall?
The people who made a killing were probably invested in gold or commodities, in the yen or Japanese stocks, or made money by going against the trend. Or maybe they were simply brave enough to sell on margin?
I’m pretty conservative by nature, so the market currently feels more like gambling than investing. It makes me realize that the steady upward trend before COVID was actually less risky.
When the women I’m seeing ask, I’ll share my thoughts on the matter. I have a surefire strategy, but I can’t teach it unless I’m paid a tuition fee（笑）. It also funds this activity, after all…

That’s the “r > g” principle proposed by Thomas Piketty: the wealthy find it increasingly easy to grow their assets, while those without wealth struggle to build theirs. That’s the kind of era we live in now.
I often talk about investing with my involved papa. We discuss both immediate topics, like whether now is a good time to buy and how much to invest, as well as longer-term matters. But I think he’s willing to work with me because I saved the initial capital and did a fair amount of research on my own. He teaches me all sorts of things now, and I’m very grateful.
By the way, I studied for about a year before I started investing. Not to toot my own horn, but that papa told me, “It’s pretty impressive that you arrived at that strategy on your own.” I think you can understand things to a certain extent if you study.
Personally, my assets have grown considerably since I started investing. Of course, stock prices can fall too, so the real question is whether you can withstand those declines. For some reason, I seem to have the mental strength for it—I was relatively unfazed even when my portfolio was down 30% during COVID.
This year, because of rising interest rates, it’s not a year when anyone can win like in 2020–2021. Approach it cautiously, as if testing a stone bridge before crossing. I don’t recommend it, though.

It’s a good idea to invest or start a business with your papa (a male supporter) and make money together.
That way, your relationship can continue for a long time, too.
Oh, you meant which industries are doing well, right?
Some industries have benefited like never before from COVID—healthcare, food and beverage, and so on.

I started investing casually as a hobby after graduating from high school. I often talk about it with PJ girls who are into investing and business.
The important things in investing are:
1. Use only money you can afford to lose.
2. Always diversify your investments.
3. Aim for profits through long-term rather than short-term investing.
4. Learn by building up small failures and successes.
If you create 10 investment opportunities, even if 9 fail, one big success can keep you from taking a major loss. Emotionally, you only need to aim for a .100 batting average. In fact, getting all 10 wrong is pretty difficult too.
On the other hand, if you have only one investment, a single failure can make you feel like you’ve lost everything, and it can really crush you. Emotionally, you have to aim for a perfect 1.000 batting average.
There are also some similarities between investing and relationships:
1. When your intuition says, “This is the one!” give up the urge to think, “Maybe I’ll find an even better investment (woman),” and invest (start dating) right away.
2. After investing (starting a relationship), if its value drops by a certain amount (you start feeling uncomfortable), let go of the illusion that it might rise again (that things might work out), and withdraw (break up) with gratitude before the damage gets worse.
3. When you’re truly committed to an investment (woman), don’t let daily price fluctuations (emotional ups and downs) affect you. Commit to holding it long-term (staying in the relationship).
It’s me.

I don’t bring it up myself, but I’ll talk about it if someone asks.
I believe that when someone without sufficient financial resources invests, it’s closer to speculation or gambling than investing. So first, I think it’s best to invest in yourself and build up your financial foundation.
After that, while studying the theory is certainly important to some extent, I agree with Seattle-san that it’s best to emulate people who are successful at investing.
Information naturally gravitates toward those kinds of people, too.

I’ve been interested in it for a long time, and I’ve tried it a few times only to fail… lol. I’ve read tons of books about it too, but I’m still too scared of the trauma from losing to start again 😭

Even if you study investing, that doesn’t mean you’ll make money. The answers aren’t written in books or other materials available to everyone.
Your best bet is to become friendly with someone who’s making money and copy what they do.
