Absolutely agree. Asymmetric returns is the way to do it. The standard metrics for trading stocks just don't apply and some find it hard to believe.
...CIS said he has no idea whether or not China is going to drag down the global economy. He doesn’t even care. When he trades, he tracks volumes and price moves to follow the momentum. For him the basic rule is: “Buy stocks that are being bought, and sell stocks that are being sold.”

Japan is no safe place. A while a go, a highschool girl got fatally stabbed over the $100 (Yen equivalent) in her purse. Could you imagine the consequence of walking around in Tokyo when everyone knew you were a multi-millionaire? You'd have not random robbers with knives but a whole mafia coordinated attack.
You make a good point. There are elderly people who shoplift and ensure they get caught, because they cannot afford food and shelter and prison affords both. That begs the question, why don't they just become beggars, or panhandlers in American parlance. I've only ever passed through Tokyo en route to the States or back. Has anyone ever been there and seen beggars? Why would a harsh prison regime be preferable to begging in the Japanese psyche? Is there a distinction in terms of honour?

Even if JP is safe I'd still keep my mouth shut as an independent trader. You simply do not want your name to be known.
That just doesn't happen here. Nope. Shoplifting is easy to do here and they don't expect to get caught. Maybe one in a thousand would prefer to be behind bars. There are lots of homeless people, but it may surprise you to learn that there are no beggars. Only once in 48 years living here did I see a guy sitting on the street with a tin can in front of him. And never do they come up to you asking for a handout.
