| Let's enjoy investing Japan through BOOM |
| Learn from history above predict after 3 decades! |
| The new times is coming. The history tell us to not misjudge the changing tide. In particular, your government, especially OECD countries, have assured of a livelihood after your retirement through the economic growth period after the World War Second. Many citizens work until they become eligible for a pension. Having a guaranteed income from pension bring about lifestyle stability after retirement. But OECD said "Nearly all OECD countries face the need to reform their pensions system,"on the article "Ageing Societies and the Looming Pension Crisis." So "the Spring of the Pension" is getting dry. Well-off pensioners may be a thing of the past in the near future. "Your government and company cannot assure of a livelihood after retirement any longer," said Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad. We must find "the NEW Springs." Nobody knows where they are, but we must find them by our own effort. Our effort bring us a good friends on our way. |
Won't you become Rich Dad? Is Zipangu (Japan) still the Land of Gold?
In the 13th century, Marco Polo introduced Japan as "Zipangu, the
Land of Gold" to Europe.
So there have been an extraordinary "ten-bagger" like it grows
on trees in Japan.
Is Zipangu (Japan) still the Land of Gold?
I already started "my plan of the journey to financial freedom"
when I posted my opinion "Learn from history above predict after 3
decades!" in Japanese on some BBS on September 14, 2003.
I restarted stock investments by taking advantage of recovery Japan's and
American stock markets since this May, but it was just only a kind of the
game.
Many stocks gained two or three times its original value in the past 2-3
months.
But many investors seem to think that Japan's stocks are NOT suitable for property held for a long time because of stock market slump in the past more than decade.
Hence they have gained short swing profits.
So I didn't think to be able to find Peter Lynch's elusive "ten-bagger," a stock which will gain ten times its
original value, among Japan's stocks.
And I have tried to find it among foreign stocks as well as other investors.
In fact I have enjoyed stock investments in the foreign securities account.
If it is true that the biggest chance that ordinary people become rich is in the Chaos, we can get a chance to be rich in this times.
So Yahoo Japan Corporation's (4689.JQ :listed TSE from October 28, 2003) price hit an all time high with 167,900,000 yen
(US$1,507,180 / US$1=111.4 yen) on February 22, 2000.
According to the table of its historical price (in Japanese), it have split ratio of 2:1 every end of March and September since 1999
except 2001.
And its adjusted close price (with * sign) provides the closing price for
the requested day, week, or month, adjusted for all applicable splits and
dividend distributions.
Data prior to the split is adjusted using a multiplier determined by the split ratio.
Data prior to the dividend is adjusted using a multiplier based on dividend
as a percentage of price.
To put it simply, for example on September 5, 2001, those who could buy
Yahoo Japan Corporation's stock for 2 million yen (US$16,780 / US$1=119.2
yen) per a share would gain ten times its original value in only 2 years.
So it's just "ten-bagger."

See stock splits' schedules on Yahoo-Briefing Splits Calendar or Briefing.com. |
Yahoo Japan Corporation have split ratio of 2:1 every end of March and
September except 2001 even after burst of the IT (information technology)
bubble.
I expect it will be repeated in the several years, whoever spread groundless
rumors.
Honestly speaking, ordinary people must waver over their decision when they buy its stock more than brand-new car.
Yahoo Japan Corporation's stock could be obtain less than 2 million yen
(US$16,660 / at an average rate of US$1=120 yen) only during this last
year as far as its historical price shows.
If it repeats to split ratio of 2:1 every half a year, and its price recovers
to 2 million yen after 3 years, I will theoretically gain 64 times its
original value.
So I will be a millionaire.
Even if its price posts an all-time low at 900,000 yen at that time, I
will gain 57,600,000 yen.
If it price hit at 5 million yen, I will gain 320,000,000 yen.
It's greatest and wonderful like hitting the lottery jackpot!
Am I a great fantasist? Or an exceptional braggart?
To my knowledge, other Japanese investors hardly say like this on the web
sites and books.
I invested to Yahoo Japan Corporation for 2 million yen (US$16,660/ US$1=120
yen) jumping in at the deep in order to substantiate whether my idea is
fantastic story.
| Fortunately stock split was announced in several days after my investment. Hence my stake would be converted into 1 million yen per a share since September 25, 2003. |
History repeated itself.
Ordinary employee, I dream to be rich by seed money of 2 million yen; however,
I expect a dream-come-true in the near future.
My friends hardly took my idea seriously.
But I don't care about it.
Will my plan end in failure?
My life never ends by a loss of 2 million yen.
