Considering potential investment destinations in the event of a civil war in America<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nAbout investment assumption series<\/h3>\n
Whether it’s a war where many lives are mercilessly taken or a major disaster, from an investment perspective, it’s just one event.<\/p>\n
Then, we measure the investment methods and timing that seem to maximize profits from that event.<\/p>\n
To the general public, this may seem like a cold and inhumane approach and behavior, and in some ways, it is indeed so.<\/p>\n
For example, upon hearing news of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, one might first check the products Ukraine exports or rush to check the situation with Russia’s currency.<\/p>\n
Although it pains me to see the tragic situation on the ground, that is separate from investment.<\/p>\n
It’s inevitable to be seen as a cold-hearted miser.<\/p>\n
The rigor of investment activities<\/h3>\n
However, in engaging in investment activities, where calmness or rather a “normal state of mind” is necessary, one has to get used to such perspectives, thoughts, and actions.<\/p>\n
There’s a term “occupational hazard,” and for investors, it’s precisely this kind of reaction and mindset.<\/p>\n
Though it might sound like an excuse, it’s true that without grabbing opportunities where one can, it’s impossible to continue in investment activities.<\/p>\n
…Here, when I talk about investment activities, I mean investing as a full-time job, not including casual index investing.<\/p>\n
I do some index investing myself, and that’s certainly a respectable form of investment, but it doesn’t apply when one is aiming for annual returns of several tens of percent, like a typical investor.<\/p>\n
The importance of anticipating investment<\/h3>\n
When the market drastically changes, whether or not to trade in the so-called “fiery market” varies among investors. Everyone’s approach is quite different.<\/p>\n
In my case, I avoid day trading unless it’s an extraordinary situation.<\/p>\n
For day trading, it’s fine to wait at points verified during normal times.<\/p>\n
For long-term investments, one cannot always just watch; there are situations where taking a strong position for portfolio defense is necessary.<\/p>\n
Once you have a portfolio, whether it’s stocks or bonds, you’re already participating in the market.<\/p>\n
In such a state, if a \u25cb\u25cb Shock occurs, one must think about how to respond. This “Investment Assumption” series is an attempt to consider such scenarios, even if just briefly.<\/p>\n
The fortune of being able to invest during \u25cb\u25cb shocks<\/h3>\n
Being able to invest means not being in a country or area affected by a disaster or conflict, and that’s a situation to be grateful for.<\/p>\n
The important thing is to ensure that one is not physically or mentally caught up in such disasters or conflicts.<\/p>\n
For example, during the Great East Japan Earthquake, I was living in Tokyo and working as a salaryman. I was shocked when the building I was working in swayed centrifugally on the day of the earthquake, and like many others working in Tokyo, I became a stranded commuter.<\/p>\n
After that, I stayed in Tokyo, scared of being exposed to radiation from the nuclear meltdown.<\/p>\n
At that time, I hadn’t started investing, but if I had, I wouldn’t have been in the right frame of mind.<\/p>\n
Maintaining a normal state of mind for investment means being physically distant from such disasters or conflicts and mentally able to take a step back and view the event objectively.<\/p>\n
If the situation is something I’ve already anticipated or similar, it’s easier to maintain a normal state of mind.<\/p>\n
So, I plan to continue adding to the series whenever I think of situations that might drastically change the market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whether it's a war where many lives are mercilessly taken or a major disaster, from an investment perspective, it's just one event.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1133,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1134","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.2","language":"en","enabled_languages":["ja","en"],"languages":{"ja":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true},"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":true}}},"yoast_head":"\n
