{"content":"Meet Shigeru Fujimoto: The Ultimate Comeback Trader
At 66, he lost 75% of his wealth.
At 87, he rebuilt it into a $12M fortune.
They call him the “Warren Buffett of Japan” — but his real edge?
Relentless discipline and deep market mastery.
Here are 5 timeless trading lessons from his legendary journey:
(Save this.)
1. Only Trade What You Truly Understand
Fujimoto never chased hype.
He specialized in what he knew — cars, semiconductors, trading firms.
“If you don’t understand the market, don’t trade it.”
Your edge is your knowledge. Don’t diversify into ignorance.
2. IPOs Can Be Goldmines — With Patience
He earned ¥200M ($1.3M) trading IPOs by avoiding the opening hype.
His IPO playbook:
✔ Skip the launch rush
✔ Enter after the initial spike settles
✔ Exit on the first signs of reversal
The best entries come after the noise.
3. Don’t Trust Trends or Gurus Blindly
Most “hot tips”? Already priced in.
Most gurus? Moving strategically — not giving advice.
“The best traders are independent thinkers.”
Study the charts. Read the news. But trade your own thesis.
4. Obsession Builds Intuition
Fujimoto didn’t just analyze charts—he tracked cargo train schedules to predict logistics stocks.
He lived the markets daily.
Every tick. Every flow. Every trend.
“Trading isn’t a hobby. It’s an art.”
Mastery demands obsession.
5. Losses Are Teachers. Bounce Back Smarter.
He lost everything—twice.
In the ‘90s crash. Then again in the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
At 66, with zero computer skills, he started over.
At 87, he hit $12M.
“Every mistake has a lesson. Learn it, or repeat it.”
Final Thought:
Shigeru Fujimoto is living proof:
It’s never too late. Discipline > hype.
Knowledge > noise. Focus > fear.
