Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! Your friend asks in Japanese, “What are you studying?” You answer in Japanese, “I’m studying this information from my new company. They have a good plan for employees. Everyone who works for the company can buy company stock at a discount. What do you think I should do?” Your Japanese friend ponders and you can see conflicting emotions cross his face as he answers in Japanese, “Well, I don’t know, sometimes that has worked out really well. My friend made a lot of money with the company employee-stock purchase plan, but for a couple of my other friends it wasn’t so good. The company kept losing money and the stock kept going down so they lost money. I don’t know if it makes a difference whether it’s a Japanese company or not. What sort of a deal do you get?” You look at the papers and answer him in Japanese, “Well, the money is deducted directly from the paycheck, and we get the stock at fifteen percent off the stock exchange price at the beginning of the month.” Nodding in approval, your friend answers, “Wow, that’s a great deal. If the stock just holds even for the month, you can make fifteen percent on your money. You should do this.” Your friend tends to speak Japanese too rapidly for you when he’s excited. “Could you repeat that? A bit more slowly?”

俺は臆病者だから、株を買ったことはないな。

うん、イギリスに住んでいた時僕の会社の株を買って一年で80%くらい上がりました。でも日本に引っ越した以来イギリスのポンどは円に対して40%ぐらい下がりました。結局、利益全部失ってしまった!二年まえ円を買えばよかったですね!

これは本当の話だよ。考えたら泣きそう。

このレッソンの文法の復習は役に立った。ありがとう。

そうですね。外国の株は為替(かわせ)の事も考えなくちゃいけないですね。

ミューチュアルファンドは株よりリスクが低いですか?
