But to be honest— The market isn't about guessing; if you rely on guessing, the market will teach you a lesson sooner or later. Look at the recent movement of CRCL$Circle(CRCL.US). How many people chased highs and sold lows, going in and out, only to get repeatedly harvested? When buying, they were full of confidence, but when the price dropped, they panicked. After selling, the price rebounded, and they were left full of regret... It's like riding a roller coaster. Cutting losses, chasing highs, cutting losses again—going through several rounds, swallowing their frustration, and ending up with just one thought: "The U.S. stock market isn't fun." But is the problem really with the U.S. stock market? To put it bluntly, it's not the market's fault; it's that you're too easily distracted by "noise." What is "noise"? It's when you spend your days checking group chats, scrolling through Weibo, watching KOLs, and browsing short videos, bombarded with messages like "Buy now, it's rising fast," "XXX is about to skyrocket," "Don't miss the last chance to get on board"... You let these messages lead you by the nose, with no judgment of your own. Emotions come faster than logic, and actions are more impulsive than rational. Where's the winning edge in that? I used to make the same mistakes— Jumping in based on rumors, only to end up holding the bag at the top; Cutting losses, only to see the stock rise afterward, then chasing it again; Over time, it's no surprise the account lost money. Until one day, I started reflecting: Is trading about fighting the market or battling your own emotions? Those who truly make money have long since started "filtering out the noise." Let me be frank: The market offers opportunities every day, but what's truly scarce is clarity of mind. You can't just believe whatever someone says today—buy when one analyst is bullish, sell when another influencer turns bearish. That's not investing; it's emotional speculation. As Buddhism says: "All phenomena are created by the mind." You think the market is emotional, but it's really you who's too impatient, too greedy, too fearful. Wang Yangming also said: "Knowledge is the beginning of action; action is the completion of knowledge." You know you shouldn't chase highs and sell lows, you know you should do your own research—but do you actually do it? You talk a good game, but when the market moves, you panic and act impulsively again. In the end, trading isn't about who predicts better—it's about who can stay steady and maintain their rhythm amid chaos. So, mindset comes first, filtering out noise comes first. Here are a few practical "noise-filtering" tips I've learned over the years: First, block out useless information Unfollow the influencers you don't need. Stop obsessing over who's calling trades or making predictions. You're not a signal follower; you're the one managing your own account. Second, develop your own judgment logic Don't buy what you don't understand; don't touch what you haven't researched. If you make money on a stock someone else recommended, will you be happy? Will you know when to sell? Chances are, you won't. Third, stop obsessing over guessing highs and lows Don't fantasize about catching the top or bottom. You're not a god, and the market won't cooperate. Catching the middle part is already a win. Fourth, not moving your account isn't "holding onto dead money"—it's maturity. Mature investors don't trade every day; they endure the days when there's "nothing to do." By not acting, you're letting time work in your favor. Finally, I want to say: In this era of information overload, knowing how to "filter out the noise" is a core skill. The more you listen, the more chaotic your mind becomes; the less you watch, the steadier your mind is. Don't try to catch every opportunity. What you can catch is—your own rhythm. The stock market isn't as complicated as you think. When you stabilize, your account will gradually stabilize too. Amid the market's noise, keep a piece of quiet; Between the ups and downs, hold onto clarity. Don't rush. Making money is just a byproduct; clarity is the real skill. $Meta Platforms(META.US) $Apple(AAPL.US) $Tesla(TSLA.US) $AMD(AMD.US) $NVIDIA(NVDA.US) $Netflix(NFLX.US) $Micron Tech(MU.US) $Hims & Hers Health(HIMS.US) ### Related Stocks - [Circle (CRCL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CRCL.US.md) - [Hims & Hers Health, Inc.
