The Japanese stock market in 2020 ended with the Nikkei average of 27,444.17 yen (up 16.0% from the end of last year)
and TOPIX 1,804.68 (up 4.8% from the end of last year).
Overall, the Japanese stock exchange was a bull market this year.
Still, airlines, department stores, and food service-related businesses ha devastating results,
and there were big differences depending on the industry.
Below is the volatility of the stock prices, which I introduced on my blog this year.

I think it wasn't bad for those who were able to buy intensively during the March crash.
Still, there was a significant difference in profit and loss depending on the timing of the purchase,
perhaps so for those who have just started stocks this year may have experienced a harsh lesson.
I believe the skills that should be acquired in the future are language (if you are a Japanese resident, the Japanese language), programming, and finance.
While I think stock investment is very effective in learning finance such as financial matters,
I would like you to continue investing in stocks to increase your financial literacy and learn from your failures.
I hope 2021 will be a good year for everyone!
