If you don't know enough and limit yourself by the logic of practice, you may be able to do it in the short term, but it will be very painful. It is this kind of pain that you need to face every day that limits your courage to persist, and you will soon give up.For another example, the price of the company you bought has risen above the reasonable valuation, and the rising momentum is very fierce. Can you resist the impulse to continue holding and choose to sell? After the sale, the stock price continues to double at the price you sold. Can you hold back the whole process without moving, thinking or regretting? This is also very difficult to do.But if you want to advance to this state, I'm afraid you can't do it overnight. This requires not only methods, but most importantly, you have to be able to understand what you want, and you have to be able to see through the essence of stock rising. It's somewhat philosophical thinking, never knowing that you don't know, not knowing that you know, and then knowing that you know.
For example, the valuation of the company you are optimistic about is already very cheap. After you buy it, the stock price has been falling. You should hold back from selling, and it is best to add a moderate position. When pessimism surrounds you, most people can't do it.On the contrary, if your cognition is in place, you basically don't need much persistence or a lot of courage. This is a natural reaction. When you see this phenomenon, such as "underestimating buying and overestimating selling", you will instinctively take action, and there is no discomfort or pain in yourself.For another example, the price of the company you bought has risen above the reasonable valuation, and the rising momentum is very fierce. Can you resist the impulse to continue holding and choose to sell? After the sale, the stock price continues to double at the price you sold. Can you hold back the whole process without moving, thinking or regretting? This is also very difficult to do.
If you can do it, you are the one who can make money within 20%. If you can't do it, you may become the one who sends money to the market stably for 80%. The result is very direct and realistic. The account itself will tell you the final result, and you can't lie.To sum up, just one sentence: when holding a position, don't be afraid to fall. Since you have chosen to hold a position, there are reasons for your choice. Not only don't be afraid, the more you fall, the more you want to buy it. When you are short, you are not afraid of rising, and always keep enough cash to wait for the unexpected big opportunity.The only way to make money by buying and selling stocks is to be patient.
