Matsui Securities Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Satoshi Warita; hereinafter 'the Company') has launched Season 4 of its YouTube video content, 'Asset Management! Preparatory School,' designed to make learning about asset management enjoyable for investment beginners, on the official Matsui Securities YouTube channel (@MatsuiSecurities).

'Asset Management! Preparatory School' is a spin-off series of 'Asset Management! Learnable Lovely,' offering video content that allows beginners to learn about investing from scratch. Previously, three seasons covering themes such as basic stock knowledge, money planning, and how to read stock charts were released.

Season 4 focuses on the theme of 'How to Buy Stocks,' delivering practical knowledge useful for beginners when actually purchasing shares, including how to search for stocks and place orders. The cast continues to feature the comedy duo Magical Lovely, individual investor Testa (who has accumulated over 10 billion yen in total profits), talents Yui Okada and Moe Fujie, and freelance announcer Shiho Sada.

Highlights of Season 4 #1

Okada and Fujie, who have previously learned the basics of stock investing such as charts and moving averages, will now take their first practical step by learning 'How to Find and Select Stocks' in Season 4 #1. Using the Matsui Securities Japanese Stock App, they search for stocks based on themes and genres of interest. Viewers should also look out for app utilization techniques that even Magical Lovely's Murakami, a daily user of the app, was unaware of.

In the second half of the video, Testa joins to discuss methods and precautions for finding stocks using social media.
