I started investing in stocks in 1999

1. I started investing in stocks in 1999

It was around KRW 30 million due to Internet bubble not long after it started, but it lost -70%

And I lost again in the 9/11 terrorist attacks… I was assigned from the headquarters to a branch, and I left home at 7 a.m. and came in at 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. for about 8 years. I didn’t study properly and invested.

It seems that the return earned for 10 years since starting stock investment was less than 200 million. Around the same time, the assets of juniors and friends who went to investment meetings and got to know increased to between 3 and 10 billion.

I remember that we, a close investor, were the losers of the value investment world and lamented over drinking.

I kept putting it into investment when I got paid, and then it started to be profitable since around 2012, when I was assigned to the headquarters and started going to investment study, I started studying properly..

When calculating the compound interest rate from 2012 to 2025, it made about 2900% and the main account 30 times.

2. If you think about it, there is not a single year that has made more than 100% of the annual profit. 70% twice, 90% once, and other than that, it is around 10-50%… It has made a profit of 30-31% on an annual average.

When you don’t use leverage, you hold and rest cash when you don’t know, and when others earn two to three times their leverage a year, you don’t envy them even if you make a 10% return alone, so you put up with it and invest it to some extent.

Welfare benefits, but… you really feel the importance of welfare.
