description: "Several conditions for holding onto stocks1. [Have confidence in the company you bought]If you only know the stock code, you can't hold on. If you have only a superficial understanding, it's even worse—you'll stubbornly hold on for a while and finally sell when it crashes.2. [Can afford to be wrong]If you have over 20% margin financing or are using 2x or 3x ETFs, it's very hard to hold on when you see your principal losing money.3. [Admit that you cannot predict the market]If you feel you can predict and think a crash is coming, why not run? Then there's indeed no need to stubbornly hold on, but this is also why most retail investors lose money in a bull market: selling low and chasing high.I'm currently mainly holding SK Hynix, Tesla, and Nvidia~ I can sleep soundly and wait slowly.In terms of risk control, I removed 40% of the margin financing a few days ago and replaced it with 10% calls, which have now been halved, leaving only 5%. But it can't fall much further, so I can be relatively at ease.I really want to add to my SK Hynix position now, but position size determines mindset. Only by not increasing margin financing can you let it rise and fall freely.Control your position size to control your mindset.The stock market is not an intelligence test; it's a psychological test~Let's encourage each other~$SK Hynix(SKHY.US)$SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US)$Roundhill Memory ETF(DRAM.US)$iShares Russell 2000(IWM.US)$Micron Tech(MU.US)$Intuitive Surgical(ISRG.US)$Palantir Tech(PLTR.US)$Sandisk(SNDK.US)$Semiconductor(CP00062.US)$Taiwan Semiconductor(TSM.US)$AMD(AMD.US)$Apple(AAPL.US)$Netflix(NFLX.US)$Microsoft(MSFT.US)$Rocket Lab(RKLB.US)$SpaceX(SPCX.US)$Tesla(TSLA.US)$NVIDIA(NVDA.US)"

- **狙击手自力更生 · 2026-07-17T08:28:16.000Z**: It's basically a pullback after rising too much, plus Iran stirring up trouble.
  - **ricky.sun** (2026-07-17T09:50:51.000Z): The sector has pulled back too much, even triggered a stampede. It might take some more time to endure. With so much margin financing involved, it's going to be really tough.
- **eclipse10240 · 2026-07-17T02:50:13.000Z**: Boss, are you now selling H-shares of SK hynix and switching to call options on US stocks?
  - **ricky.sun** (2026-07-17T03:14:48.000Z): I have always been a direct shareholder of Hynix in Germany, not a two-time holder.
  - **eclipse10240** (2026-07-17T17:53:12.000Z): Boss, so steady. I'm leveraging up now too, the position is really thrilling.
  - **ricky.sun** (2026-07-18T05:08:15.000Z): We haven't hit a major stock market crash yet; with high leverage, you would get liquidated directly.
- **Alexu · 2026-07-17T02:40:28.000Z**: Google has been receiving continuous negative news about its large models recently. If its upcoming earnings report shows even a slight decrease in capital expenditure, the storage sector is likely to experience a major crash, and it probably won't recover.
  - **ricky.sun** (2026-07-17T03:14:30.000Z): I don't think so. I went heavily into SK Hynix back in January, mainly betting on its transformation from a cyclical stock to one with a P/E ratio closer to TSMC's. Reduced spending doesn't affect the
  - **数据即信仰** (2026-07-17T05:44:14.000Z): Where did Google cut capital expenditures? In the last quarter, they actually increased them. Now, with memory in short supply and prices surging, your crash scenario has just been turned on its head.
  - **Alexu** (2026-07-17T06:24:02.000Z): Who doesn't want to see a reversal sooner? I've added to my position until I'm numb.
- **半月之风 · 2026-07-17T02:23:56.000Z**: SK Hynix is only twice the price, it's dirt cheap now haha
  - **蓮蓉小狗如履薄冰** (2026-07-17T02:47:51.000Z): Sold out yet?
  - **半月之风** (2026-07-17T02:48:13.000Z): No.
  - **蓮蓉小狗如履薄冰** (2026-07-17T02:49:35.000Z): Lost a hundred (thousand/million, depending on context).
