Recently, US stocks have clearly been rising, but why are more people losing money? Looks like a lot of short sellers have emerged...I can actually understand investors who engage in short-term speculation for high returns.US stocks won't keep rising forever; there will definitely be a pullback. The key is still position control. There's no need to go all-in or even use full leverage.Yesterday and today, I took some time to browse the community. I found many friends I know are still stuck in pain and quicksand... following trades, losing money, continuing to follow, continuing to lose.Actually, a prerequisite for following trades is that you need to have the same capital and trading system as the person you're following. Another important point is that you also need to understand the stock's fundamentals, trends, and future. Only then can you hold on. How can blindly following work?It's really frustrating. Using US stocks for some spare cash investment is okay because your mindset won't be thrown off and your actions won't be distorted.Many friends are counting on this to make a living... I think it's better to forget it.This is purely a spontaneous thought. I think friends who have followed me for a long time should understand what I mean.That's it for now. I'll continue focusing on my career, and I wish you all well!" datetime: "2026-05-06T05:53:02.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/40456888.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/40456888.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/40456888.md) author: "[屹哥小迷弟](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/13107849.md)" --- # This world belongs to the brave.

Stock trading itself goes against human nature—long bear markets, short bull runs. Many people treat it as gambling. - **崑泰長盈 · 2026-05-06T07:29:04.000Z**: That's me, currently at a loss, suffering, trying to stay calm, no more messing around, will hold until the end of the year and see then… - **还原酶抑制剂 · 2026-05-06T06:46:32.000Z**: Bearish but not shorting, that's so right - **大涨耐心拿着不要盯盘 · 2026-05-06T06:19:03.000Z**: Brother Yi, update the yield rate. - **我的小钱钱 · 2026-05-06T06:19:01.000Z**: Still losing money recently, probably because the stocks I picked didn't perform well🤦 - **小亏不算亏 · 2026-05-06T06:14:11.000Z**: It's okay to lose money, haha. Happiness is the most important thing. As long as you don't sell, you haven't lost, haha.
