- **深圳吴彦祖 · 2026-07-02T16:28:28.000Z**: Agreed, individual stocks are too difficult.
- **Andy👊👊👊 · 2026-07-02T15:28:22.000Z**: Steel boss, holding 2X leverage without financing, does that count as adding leverage? Can this low-cost strategy hold on until after the leveraged funds get margin called and then pull up?
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-07-02T15:29:36.000Z): 会死
- **川马黄木 · 2026-07-02T15:17:30.000Z**: When will a bunch of people come out to short? Someone probably can't hold on and is cutting their losses now, right? 🤪
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-07-02T15:18:24.000Z): Those who cut their losses usually have leverage.
- **安森 · 2026-07-02T15:16:12.000Z**: It's so miserable. I don't even want to look at the market this July.
- **K.K~lucky · 2026-07-02T14:54:14.000Z**: I'm also planning to gradually exit individual stocks and just focus on QQQ.
- **吴霜降 · 2026-07-02T14:51:31.000Z**: Why did SanDisk suddenly crash?
- **zzzZ · 2026-07-02T14:50:48.000Z**: Blue-chip stocks + LEAPS options are also a worry-free approach
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-07-02T14:51:05.000Z): That's also possible.
- **拿着不卖存储 · 2026-07-02T14:45:24.000Z**: Can I buy some QQQ like this today?
- **三思又三思 · 2026-07-02T14:43:56.000Z**: What's the reason today? I thought it would be a broad rally on Christmas Eve, but it ended up dropping so sharply.
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-07-02T14:44:55.000Z): Hahaha, who knows? That's just how harvesters are.
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-07-02T14:45:31.000Z): If you don't know how to control your position and use leverage, you can lose a year's profit in three days.
  - **三思又三思** (2026-07-02T14:46:03.000Z): There's really no such thing as hedging; the entire market is falling.
- **淡淡定定有钱剩 · 2026-07-02T14:40:59.000Z**: High certainty leads to heavy positions, no problem.
- **兼收并蓄回归 · 2026-07-02T14:39:07.000Z**: Should we liquidate individual stocks in the second half of the year?
  - **钢铁纪律** (2026-07-02T14:40:35.000Z): No, I just think that even individual stocks don't make as much money as playing the broader market.
- **为什么不抄底 · 2026-07-02T14:38:41.000Z**: Same here.
