There were three guests to talk about investment in personnal opinions instead of standard words. This is the irreplaceable value of a private gathering. The first guest was a broker.

The second investors buys it and the stock price increases. And so on, until no following investor buys it to support the stock price and the price drops. This figure simply explained the relationship between the cash flow of the market and the stock price. The second guest was a reporter. Being a reporter, he has experienced many issues under table. He identified unstated relationships amongst various parties such as the authories, the academics, mass media, institutional investors and smal...
