I might be a bit strange, bro. Whatever I do, there's one core purpose: it's fun, or interesting. The securities market has a particularly fun aspect: you need to have some understanding of all kinds of industries. It's not that you truly understand these businesses, but at least you'll have a starting point for looking, and you'll gain many different perspectives, all of which are fun. The world, human nature, it's all the same.

At the same time, I also need money. Being able to make money from this makes me happy. But there's some money I know I could make, but I won't go after it, because that would fundamentally change me, and it wouldn't be fun anymore. I believe humans possess a kind of classical playfulness, and I'm somewhat obsessed with this playfulness myself. So, whether on Longbridge, where some community members ask why I'm always around, or in real life, where I can work continuously for long periods, it's essentially just because I don't treat these things as serious matters. I deconstruct them, turning them into something fun. Because it's fun, I'll keep playing.

Life is like a game, and I enjoy it. Painful things dissolve into interesting matters for me, because I know this pain isn't eternal. More extreme is that, although the void still gives me a headache, death is, in a sense, my backup.

Earlier, Brother Naive Investor said I learned a long-short strategy. It's simple: whoever I frequently pay attention to, I naturally start to imitate. This ability to replicate is less about copying or learning, and more about me becoming the object of their attention. Once I become them, I can view and observe the world from their perspective, gaining a second life. So, this ability to imitate is essentially a desire for life, and because I'm weak, I'm nothing, that's why I can imitate others so well. To put it bluntly, it's because I'm sufficiently useless, hahaha.

Longbridge - 輸棟樓的韭菜
輸棟樓的韭菜

The more I think about it, the more I feel this is a really good question: Why do you want to open an account? Or rather, why use subjective judgment to "trade stocks"?

Do you believe that professional institutions and professionals (passive indices, Dalio, Bridgewater, Buffett, Abel, Cathie Wood, etc.) are all inferior to you? I genuinely look forward to the answers from the Longbridge community.

For me, my subjective position is for learning and self-validation, a testing ground to expand other skills, with making money just a byproduct. Ultimately, I’ll use some of the skills I’ve gained to serve asset allocation and long-term life planning.
