To summarize the movements in the Japanese stock market in 2019, it can be said that stock prices were relatively strong in spite of the deterioration in corporate performance.
However, perhaps It's been a boring year for many investors, with little price movements overall.
Below is the volatility of the stock prices which I introduced on my blog this year.
I think it was not bad if you include the dividend income.

Although I have no idea what year 2020 will bring, I believe that if we diversify our investments in a company with stable business as usual, we will not be devastated.
I hope 2020 will be a good year for everyone!
