I used to hear people say that stocks are not economics, they said it's an art. I never understood why until I saw the trends of US stocks, Hong Kong stocks, and A-shares in recent years. Now I finally get it. I would describe US stocks as 'crossing states and provinces,' A-shares as 'gazing with eager anticipation,' and Hong Kong stocks as 'lacking ambition'—just like me.

Often, we think holding blue-chip stocks means there's nothing to fear, but reality proves otherwise. I've seen many heavyweight stocks drop 60-70% from their peaks—it's all too common. So, looking back, setting stop-loss and take-profit points is crucial.

As for Hong Kong stocks now, we can only face them with an 'Ah Q spirit.' As the saying goes, 'Since it's here, take it easy.' Maybe in time, 'the boat will straighten itself when reaching the bridge'? Although the Hang Seng Index has no momentum, many individual stocks still outperform the market, such as China Mobile, CNOOC, and various mainland bank stocks. They offer high dividends, making them a solid choice—defensive yet with upside potential.
