description: "After a year, I've finally broken even! It's worth remembering! Starting from the tariffs in early April last year, it dropped 50% in just one month. There were many things I hadn't experienced before, and I'm still learning, constantly improving my self-awareness. Here are a few simple points to share:1. Never chase highs; chasing highs can ruin your life!2. When in doubt, sell half; securing profits comes first.3. Follow the right main trend, choose the right sectors on the upswing; buy low and sell high.4. Never go all-in at any time, let alone use leverage!5. Don't do things you don't understand.6. Investment returns aren't guaranteed by hard work alone, but without studying hard to improve your self-awareness, you'll always be relying on feelings and luck, and you'll eventually lose based on your actual skills.7. Even the most brilliant investors have times when they lose money. Make peace with yourself; don't be stubborn.8. Don't get emotional about investments. Even if a stock has made you a lot of money in the past, know when to take profits. If it's no longer suitable, cut ties.That's all. Let's encourage each other."
