Let me say a few more words, hope it helps everyone.

$Circle(CRCL.US) First of all, I must acknowledge that Longbridge Securities is indeed very convenient to use, with relatively comprehensive features, a clear and concise UI interface, and is friendly to both beginners and experienced users. The experience is even better than that of East Money.

Of course, there are also unsatisfactory aspects. Under all stock comments, there are too many discussions related to speculation. Nine out of ten comments are about speculation. If a stock goes up, it's awesome; if it goes down, it's stupid; if it's flat, it's a trap. The rise and fall of stocks reflect all the joys and sorrows, affecting the emotions of most people.

In the forum, only a few KOLs are preaching value investing. From my observation, a significant number of KOLs are leading speculation and gambling. Some in the forum have good gambling skills, high win rates, and big wins, while others are terrible at it, losing everything and even going bankrupt. It's important to know that so-called KOLs who don't show their returns are just for show. Even those who do show returns might have just made a lucky bet on a heavy position, turning things around. Those who stick to value investing without frequent operations and have stable upward net value curves over the years are few and far between.

I remind everyone not to be blinded by the so-called short-term high returns posted by others, which can trigger your inner gambling instinct. Just because others gambled right doesn't mean you can do the same. If you jump in, it could be an abyss. China's gambling culture has a long history, from ancient times with cricket fights, cockfights, and coin tossing to modern times with marbles, card games, and fruit machines in childhood, and poker, bullfighting, and mahjong in adulthood. Some even go as far as betting on sports, baccarat, or going to Macau or Myanmar to gamble.

Looking back more than a decade ago, I was fascinated by the Gambling Addiction Forum, only to realize now that the clown was me. Be wary of gambling; it's not just hidden in Southeast Asia, Myanmar, or Macau but also in the app you're using right now, creeping up on you in a silent way. It makes most people let their guard down, forget the dangers, and become blinded.

Moreover, all those who post screenshots of high returns are likely luring others to gamble, even if they themselves are unaware of the potential harm. In the long run, in a forum filled with speculation and gambling, it's hard to stay unaffected. You'll be subtly influenced, slowly losing judgment, sinking into the mire, and paying hefty fees to brokers while suffering huge losses.

I'm just a nobody, and what I say today won't change the direction of the forum's discussions. But I hope those who read this will reconsider their beliefs, reflect on their actions, and think about what I've said. Think about what the outcome will be after ten years of such frequent trading, what your returns will look like, and how staying up late every night will affect you.

Finally, here’s some advice for all the fellow investors I’ve met by chance:

Starting today, let go of the obsession with breaking even or multiplying your money. Make a plan to invest regularly in index funds or strong stocks, and remove all monitoring of small or mid-cap stocks. Don’t trade any small or mid-cap speculative stocks, and spend less time on the Longbridge forum. Before making any buy or sell decisions, ask DeepSeek, Doubao, or Gemini what the company does and what risks it has. The advice from AI will be much more rational than that from the forum and more thorough than your own thoughts.

Follow the path of Duan Yongping and Warren Buffett. This is the right way for U.S. stocks, suitable for most ordinary people. The path of 'Brother Zhao' is not for us—it’s too rugged and winding. He’s a strong survivor who walked over the corpses of retail investors, not someone you or I can easily replicate.

Lastly:

Don’t judge everyone with a critical eye. The only person you can strictly demand is yourself. I don’t mean to offend anyone, so please forgive me if I’ve overstepped.
