At 89, he still watches the market every day.
He entered the stock market at 19—and has been trading for 70 years.
His name is Shigeru Fujimoto, one of Japan’s most legendary individual investors.
When he was young, he worked at a pet shop. Through someone he met in the securities industry, he was introduced to stocks for the first time.
After that, his life became almost inseparable from the Japanese stock market.
He experienced Japan’s economic boom,
and the bursting of the bubble in the 1990s.
At his lowest point, his assets plunged from 1 billion yen to just 200 million.
Many people would have left the market for good.
But he didn’t.
Decades later, he had built his assets back up to more than 2.5 billion yen.
And here’s the incredible part:
At 89, he still checks the market and trades every day.
His monthly trading volume is around 600 million yen.
He once said something I really like:
“The market has its peaks and valleys. That’s perfectly normal.”
After 70 years of trading stocks, the lesson he has truly left us isn’t some claim of a “100% win rate.” It’s this:
Losses aren’t what you should fear. The real danger is walking away from the table forever after a single setback.
From 19 to 89.
Seventy years of market ups and downs.
In the end, it’s not about who made the most in a single trade, but who managed to stay in the game long enough.
