The results beat, yet the stock fell. Often the reason is the guidance. Stocks react more to the outlook than to results, and guidance is usually a range. Listen to the earnings call too.

Asking strangers to donate to a scholarship rarely works. What is missing is not goodwill, but a system. With Future Loop, a small part of investment gains flows to scholarships for young people.

Profitable, yet short of cash? Profit and cash are not the same thing.
Late payments and inventory tie up cash. Loan principal is not an expense. Big payments land in the same month.

Why does a sales forecast change with who reports it? Often, stages are set by feel.
Define each stage by what the customer has done: the decision maker joined, a quote was sent.
Track won deals and cash-in separately.

Repaying a student loan in Japan: should you wait to invest?
1. Check your JASSO loan type: Type 1 (no interest) or Type 2 (interest).
2. Set aside money you can use right away.
3. Compare the balance and rate, then decide.

How many months of fixed costs does your company's cash cover?
1. Divide the balance by monthly fixed costs.
2. Split it: money for now, for emergencies, for later.
3. Check deposit insurance coverage (Japan's system).

I'm against Japan's hometown tax donation system. Keep daily life compact instead of spreading tax money thin, and fund cultural heritage properly.
Giving is hard because of design, not will. Give from gains already in motion: Future Loop.

Salespeople who never read a financial statement and just push head office's picks: I can't accept that.
If someone says "this stock is recommended," ask one question:
"How do this company's financial indicators look?"
No answer? It may just be head office's words passed along.

Two conditions when I look for stocks:
- micro caps (~10B yen) with no analyst coverage
- companies still losing money
Then I watch quarterly cash flow. The CF statement shows what the CEO is thinking.
High volatility. Not a stock recommendation.

Cash flow statement: where to look first?
1. Is operating CF positive?
2. Next to net income: profit but no cash? Check receivables, inventory.
3. Free CF, financing CF, cash over years.
Cash over profit, trends over single years.
