It was a difficult year for many individual investors who invested in Japanese stocks in 2018.
Compared with the beginning of this year, my retained assets of Japanese stocks have decreased by 16.4% as of December 28th (excluding dividends and J-REIT)
In this blog I introduced a few stocks, but the stock prices fell sharply since then as seen below.

I believe many investors have a hard time with assets decreasing, but I
welcome the bear market rather than going through hardships.
This is because it is a valuable opportunity to buy stocks cheaply in a style that has long-term holding potential while in the meantime receiving dividends.
I added an example of an annual operation result table to management method, please use it as a reference if needed.
I hope 2019 will be a good year for everyone!
