Tokyo Olympics table tennis gold medalist Hayabusa Mizutani appeared on TBS's "Donut Talk" program. He admits that he has suffered huge losses in the stock market, "enough to buy a luxury house in Tokyo". Mizutani is a famous Japanese table tennis player, who won gold with Misei Ito in the mixed doubles final of the Tokyo Olympics, defeating the Chinese pair Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen, and has a prominent position in the Japanese table tennis world.
Mizutani Hayabusa's biggest hobby in addition to table tennis is stock speculation, and he is not a believer in Buffett's value investment, but likes to speculate in the short term, engage in speculation, and fantasize about getting rich overnight. Mizutani admitted: "I don't have any other hobbies, I just love to trade stocks, from 9 am to 3 pm, I will stare intently at the changes in the stock market." ”
In fact, the Japanese stock market has been good in recent years, if you buy some blue-chip growth stocks to stick to it, or directly buy index ETFs for long-term fixed investment, Mizutani Hayabusa should have very rich returns. But he must have been chasing the rise and killing the fall every day, buying some extremely risky stocks, and finally losing a lot of principal.
Now Mizutani has retired, married and had a daughter, but he still maintains his passion for stocks, and his stock operation method is not price investment, but similar to gambling. When asked by a friend how much money he had lost, Mizutani replied, "I can buy a house, a house in Tokyo." ”
The news of Mizutani Hayabusa's huge loss in stock speculation quickly became a hot search in Japan, and some Japanese netizens left a message: "Many people get glory in the Olympics, and then they get out of control and are no longer seen." Those who get excited easily, or rather, have a strong winning character, should never get involved in stocks or Forex. Another netizen sarcastically said: "I'm sure that the reason why he often appears on TV and makes childish comments on current events is because he has lost a lot of money in the stock market, so he talks nonsense on TV, but it's better to stop commenting on things other than table tennis." ”
