# Trading is not a letter of commitment

——Don't let personal stories become collective illusions

Some people always like to bring up a "personal" past experience as soon as someone else starts speaking, with a bit of confidence and emotion, followed by "What do you know?" As if mentioning that one precise operation invalidates all the current doubts.

In some places, there is only one voice, one emotion, one answer, and even the rhythm is eerily consistent. It seems like everyone reaches the same conclusion at the same time, expressing "conviction" in the same way, but never mentioning "why." They talk about faith but avoid facts; they emphasize consensus but are reluctant to discuss the process.  
 

But the market is not a place for storytelling or a stage for concerts.

Investment should be based on logic, not emotion; on trends, not memories.

What’s worse, some keep repeating fragments of the past, treating old experiences as current talismans. They don’t talk about fundamentals or industry variables, only seeking "familiar confirmation" in emotions. When the market doesn’t meet expectations, they choose denial over analysis, blame over listening.

All discussions gradually turn into tests of "whose side you’re on."

Mention risk, and you’re accused of being pessimistic; mention objectivity, and you’re asked, "Do you even understand?"; mention disagreement, and you become a target for collective attack. Over time, rationality is sidelined, logic is drowned out, and the market’s temperature becomes a breeding ground for emotion.

  
We remind every investor:

Don’t mistake emotion for judgment, or experience for a talisman,

And don’t assume "what happened before" means "it will happen again."

  
Those who constantly emphasize "how we won back then" often ignore today’s changes. Their so-called faith is mostly built on vague narratives; their so-called persistence is just stubbornness that ignores risk. They avoid the real operational status of companies and industry valuation changes, blindly believing only in what "sounds familiar."

  
There, doubt is seen as disrespect, and questioning as provocation. If you don’t applaud, you’re shown the door. Over time, real issues are buried, real signals suppressed, leaving only more and more echo-chamber resonance.

But the market won’t change direction just because someone shouts loud,

Nor will it hand out dividends just because someone is brimming with confidence.

We advise:

• Focus more on actual financial and operational performance, less on familiar emotions;

• Pay more attention to industry structure, less to individual fate;

• Discuss methods and paths more, amplify positions and declarations less.

  
The real market prices in silence,

Not in noise.

  
Final reminder:

Don’t let others’ stories cloud your judgment;

Don’t mistake past luck for current rationale;

And don’t misinterpret all dissent as hostility.

  
—— There are no myths in the market, only variables.

—— Winning isn’t guaranteed just because someone "persists,"

—— Nor is someone necessarily wrong just because they "don’t get it."

  
Stay calm, stay independent, stay skeptical.

These are the qualities most worth having as an investor.
