Gifu-boui, even bending the SPARK event to his will

It has been several years since I first heard the term "parallel career."
Due to technological progress, increased longevity, endless fiscal problems, and the diversity of hobbies and preferences, it is no longer rare to hold multiple occupations.

In the investment world, there are two "fighting investors" who also wear the shoes of a martial artist.

One is Yuta Kubo, who is currently competing in RIZIN.

And the other is our very own Gifu-boui, who goes by the nicknames of"a professional investor with a lifetime balance in the red," "Mr. Reverse God," "Japan's most useless customs broker," and "the man who was knocked out by Iekei ramen."

Why couldn't Gifu-san, who has polished off countless pork belly bowls, finish his ramen?

Was it stress from losing in his trades at the time?

No, Gifu-san was winning big in July.

If that's the case, there is only one factor other than aging that I can think of.

It must be the stress from the streamer martial arts event "SPARK."

Gifu-san's claim of being a "former martial artist" is one of his staple jokes.

I first learned about Gifu-san when I saw him send an incredible message to Yamamoto KID saying, "As a fellow martial artist, I pray for your soul" (I honestly thought he was punch-drunk in the very beginning), but not everyone takes it as a joke, and the SPARK camp ended up matchmaking him against Yoshiki Harada, a real martial artist.

Even for Gifu-san, who has experienced many life-or-death situations, this was terrifying.
It is no wonder he couldn't get any food down.

By the way, Yoshiki Harada polished off a Jiro-style ramen with ease. Is this the difference in their careers?

Even so, Gifu-san has been training for the match, albeit reluctantly, byplaying the pachinko addictionSmart Slot Fist of the North Star to train his dynamic vision and running 10 kilometers every day.
Unlike the trader profession where money is deposited from GMO while you're just goofing around, in the ring, you have to shave away at each other's lives with physical strength and technique. A sense of crisis drives Gifu-san forward.

What drove Gifu-san, who was in such a mentally extreme state, in the wrong direction was his usual crappy position.

This time, they piled up and he turned into King Ghidorah.
He might be able to defeat Godzilla, but there is no way to deal with Godzilla Gifu.

The first shot was a short on Swiss Yen. This was an assassin that suddenly appeared while he was playing Smart Slot Fist of the North Star.
He probably just opened the position randomly while waiting at the pachinko parlor.

The second shot was a long on Hong Kong.

At the same time, he entered a short position on Euro-AUD and plunged into a state of massive losses.

The shock of Gifu-san's Hong Kong long position was particularly immense.

Just before this, the China Evergrande Group, which had caused so much market turmoil, filed for bankruptcy in the United States.

My honest reaction was, 'It hadn't collapsed yet?', but since Gifu-san went long in this situation, things got chaotic. The stock market community fell into a panic, wondering if Gifu-san was seriously trying to turn the market into ashes!

Honestly, if you're holding this much unrealized loss, you're in no state to play the game.

As if to abandon the flustered Gifu-san, Jari-boui, a high-ranking executive of the Boui Army, held a steak party at the luxury high-rise apartment of fellow billionaire trader Metappi-san.

He enjoyed a rendezvous while looking at the night view with popular beautiful traders like Mia Osaka and Gohacchu-chan, indirectly provoking Gifu-san.

In response to this betrayal by an executive, Gifu-san, acting like a true leader, did not deliver a gruesome punishment... but instead cozied up to them because he wanted money. Don't you feel pathetic, GIF!

However, the situation took an unexpected turn here.

August 22nd. A disturbing tweet (post) was sent out by Gifu-san.

It seems that the fighters participating in SPARK were falling to COVID one after another. The 9th wave of COVID is being talked about, but I never expected it to have an impact in this way.

Gifu-san, who had been feeling depressed, suddenly began to express passionate feelings upon receiving this news. Is it really his true intention?

However, Gifu-san's plea was easily rejected by the SPARK camp. If anything, his plea might have had the opposite effect.

SPARK, regrettably postponed.

Gifu-san is not the type to stay silent after hearing this.
He fires off a series of long tweets about how hard he has worked for the tournament as a representative of the fighters.

I have been watching Gifu-san for about three months since the tournament was decided, and I think he is probably at his most energetic today.

If he had this level of enthusiasm before the event was even scheduled, I would sympathize, but starting to act tough only after things look suspicious leaves a bad impression.

Naturally, these remarks by Gifu-san were met with derisive laughter by Gifu-watchers.

If he was meticulously planning his training while drinking in Ikebukuro and strutting through the red-light district a week before the tournament, then Gifu-san must be a genius boxer on par with Mayweather, who was out at a club in Ginza the night before RIZIN.

I looked back at Gifu-san's tweets for about a month to see if that was really the case, but there wasn't even five percent of that super-athlete vibe coming from him!!

Gifu-san has finally even bent the tournament schedule.

There is a pitiful person who got caught in the crossfire of that reverse-god power.

It is Yasushi Takagi (Takagi-Bowie), the god of the stock comedian watching community and the premier investment writer of our time, also known as the "Edwin Lefèvre of the East."

Takagi-san went out of his way to set up a venue for the Bowie Army who couldn't get tickets for SPARK.

It seems there were 188 people who initially expressed interest in attending, but when it came down to it, nobody showed up, resulting in a huge deficit.
It's like syamu-san's Sennan Aeon offline meeting.

Talk about adding insult to injury.
Because of the SPARK postponement, the viewing party itself can no longer be held.

The only way to resolve this is to invite Gifu-san for a meal. That's just an offline meeting!

This SPARK postponement incident has even spread to Takagi-san.

Actually, I was debating whether to attend this viewing party when, to my surprise, Takagi-san invited me via DM.

"The number of people is incredibly low and I'm in trouble, so I'd like you to come."

Well, I thought it would be fine if the number of people was small, so I agreed to participate, which led to today's situation.

I receive another DM from Takagi-san.

"I changed it to a dinner party with Gifu-san, but I sent you a DM because I was worried if it went against Udon-san's doctrine."

I have no such doctrine!!
