He shines every day, but never gets hot.

——Has it always been this way, and is it right?

Recently, a widely circulated type of expression has emerged in the community,

where the content of the posts does not explicitly state a position but exhibits a highly uniform structure:

- Repetition of catchphrases, calm tone, standardized format, and vague viewpoints.

- Such expressions often invoke terms like "long-termism," "margin of safety," and "value investing,"

- and construct discourse fields through methods like "screenshotting original texts" or "forwarding quotes," quickly gaining widespread attention and indiscriminate trust in the community.

We are highly concerned about this phenomenon and offer the following clarifications:

1. We are not against learning, but we despise performance

Content platforms should be arenas for intellectual debate, not stages for scripted performances.

We have observed:

• Some high-frequency posters repeatedly forward unverified financial information under the guise of "reliable sources" or "authoritative quotes";
• When questioned, they obfuscate, offering no explanations or clarifications;
• Some even misinterpret unverified media content as policy directives, leading to market misperceptions.

——Not all reposting is wrong,

but everyone who pretends to be the creator is wrong.

2. We are not against catchphrases, but we oppose "catchphrases replacing logic"

We have also noticed that some speakers frequently use quotes from "Warren Buffett" or "Charlie Munger" as rhetorical frameworks,

reducing originally profound investment philosophies to mere "content stabilizers" and "identity badges."

"Long-term," "value," "discipline"—these words, which should be realized through practice,

have now become daily-updated template labels,

part of a persona rather than part of cognition.

While such behavior does not constitute direct misinformation,

it emotionally shapes newcomers in the community through a pervasive influence,

easily leading to stagnation in thinking and outsourcing of judgment.

——Not every catchphrase is useless,

but every "Munger" used as a shield deserves skepticism.

3. We are not against information sharing, but we reject "content posturing"

We are not against sharing information,

we are just tired of those who use information to package hollow posturing from a high ground.

They are not guiding trades,

they are maintaining the illusion of being "someone worth following."

They do not help you judge the market,

they just find a way to feel "needed."

4. We emphasize:

True investing is neither a recital nor a formatting exercise;

screenshots cannot replace logic, and forwarding is not equivalent to thinking;

quoting catchphrases should not serve as fig leaves for viewpoints,

nor as shields to evade responsibility.

5. Those truly worthy of trust are those willing to take responsibility

Those truly worthy of trust,

are not the ones who screenshot the earliest or speak the most calmly,

but those who are willing to explain their logic, correct their mistakes, and stand by their judgments.

Do not assume someone sees further just because they appear daily;

do not assume someone knows more just because they speak calmly.

——Sometimes, they are merely at the edge of the traffic,

——wrapping emptiness in resonance,

——filling the shell of knowledge with silent sugar.

///They do nothing but stand firmly.

Over time, you start to believe they are standing right.///
