Meet Shigeru Fujimoto: The Ultimate Comeback Trader
At 66, he lost 75% of his wealth.
At 87, he rebuilt it into a $12M fortune.
This self-made millionaire is known as the “Warren Buffett of Japan”—but his real secret? Mastering the market with precision.
Here are 5 trading lessons from his legendary career that every trader needs to know: 🧵
1. Trade What You Understand
Fujimoto never gambled on random assets.
He focused on sectors he knew—automobiles, semiconductors, and trading companies.
“If you don’t understand the market, don’t trade it.”
Your edge comes from knowledge. Stick to what you know and master it.
2. IPOs Are Gold Mines—If You’re Patient
In Japan, IPOs often skyrocket because of hype.
Fujimoto made ¥200M ($1.3M) trading IPOs by following a simple rule:
✔ Avoid the opening rush
✔ Enter strategically after the hype settles
✔ Exit when momentum shifts
The best opportunities come to those who wait for the right entry.
3. Trends & Gurus Can Mislead You
Fujimoto warns: Most “hot tips” are already priced in.
✔ Following trends blindly? Recipe for failure.
✔ Copying gurus? Their moves are often strategic, not advice.
Solution? Do your own research. The best traders think for themselves.
4. The Market Rewards Obsession
Fujimoto didn’t just trade—he lived the markets.
✔ He watched cargo train movements to predict logistics stock moves.
✔ He analyzed market flows every single day.
✔ He treated trading like an art, not a hobby.
The deeper your focus, the sharper your instincts.
5. Losses Are Part of the Game—But Only If You Learn From Them
✔ Fujimoto lost 75% of his fortune in the ‘90s.
✔ He lost everything in the 1995 earthquake.
✔ At 66, he restarted from scratch—learning online trading with zero computer skills.
The result? A $12M comeback.
Mistakes are inevitable. Resilience is what separates winners from losers.
