My mind was very clear that today, only Apple might survive. But there's no way around it, I chickened out. However, yesterday's position also yielded over 40% profit. Of course, if held until today, that could be 200%+.The overall market is red today. The entry point for 'Little Rocket' was about -4%, bought a bit high.These are all just tiny amounts used to practice market feel. Especially the weekly feel, which only you know. Your own thought process has no reference value here.Go trade stocks you're familiar with; that works fine.Don't let ultra-short-term capital exceed 1/10 of your account, otherwise execution will get distorted.Long-term positions are tough lately too. Take profits when available, don't be greedy. Applies to both long and short term.When observing TSMC, pairing it with ASML might be better. This is heavily influenced by geopolitical economics.Then many stocks have actually returned to similar levels, the so-called 'grinding top'.If you think it's high, then wait a bit.For example, AMD, I use 500 as a reference price. If it drops, buying between 470~480 is fine, and selling once it hits 520, just an example.The price levels of many stocks I see currently are still quite good. Of course, this is just from my perspective.Find your own observation points yourself, look at the stocks you're familiar with.(Flowers look nice!)" datetime: "2026-08-18T16:31:02.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/43467733.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/43467733.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/43467733.md) author: "[彩子](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/19338703.md)" --- # Um... right before the close yesterday at 3:40, I … ### Related Stocks - [AAPL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPL.US.md) - [TSM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSM.US.md) - [AMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMD.US.md) - [ASML.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASML.US.md) - [TSMX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMX.US.md) - [TSMY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMY.US.md) - [TSMZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMZ.US.md) - [TSMG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMG.US.md) - [TSMU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSMU.US.md) - [STSM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/STSM.US.md) - [AMDY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDY.US.md) - [AMDS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDS.US.md) - [AMDL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDL.US.md) - [AMDG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDG.US.md) - [AMDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDD.US.md) - [AMUU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMUU.US.md) - [DAMD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DAMD.US.md) - [AMDW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AMDW.US.md) - [AAPB.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPB.US.md) - [AAPD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPD.US.md) - [AAPU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPU.US.md) - [APLY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/APLY.US.md) - [AAPY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPY.US.md) - [AAPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPX.US.md) - [AAPW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/AAPW.US.md) - [ASMG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASMG.US.md) - [ASMU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ASMU.US.md) ## Comments (21) - **彩子 · 2026-08-18T16:36:50.000Z · 👍 2**: The posting frequency will likely decrease significantly from now on. 😐 However, I'll still check the market daily because I've realized that posting is largely pointless. Over 95% of people have fixed mindsets, including myself. No one can change anyone else; just focus on doing your own thing. - **复利游戏** (2026-08-18T16:39:07.000Z): No, I'd actually feel quite happy seeing the picture you posted when it drops. - **彩子** (2026-08-18T16:40:56.000Z): As long as you're happy, that's all that matters 👍 - **stop-selling · 2026-08-19T05:52:43.000Z**: Holding for now, no moves. Full recovery likely requires waiting until the 2027 target is met; otherwise, market valuations won't be sustained. - **永不摊平亏损 · 2026-08-19T04:15:43.000Z**: Total return for the year is only 17%. I took a big hit before, so I've become more cautious. - **永不摊平亏损 · 2026-08-19T04:12:36.000Z**: Short-term trading is tough. I took profits on Microsoft at 500. Recently bought some McDonald's and Nike. - **上鱼籽 · 2026-08-18T23:00:49.000Z**: The Playboy Playmate of the day is Hua Suihua. - **到处唱歌的胖丁 · 2026-08-18T22:58:29.000Z · 👍 1**: A reminder to Caizi: don't get addicted to short calls this time, it's best to avoid them as they are too addictive. - **水人波高 · 2026-08-18T21:16:16.000Z**: Cai Zi, do you still have TSMC? - **Magaaa · 2026-08-18T17:22:47.000Z**: 😍 - **还是买纳指吧 · 2026-08-18T17:19:50.000Z**: I'm too busy with work to watch the market 😭 - **chino · 2026-08-18T16:36:47.000Z · 👍 1**: Buy the Nasdaq - **复利游戏 · 2026-08-18T16:34:38.000Z · 👍 2**: Long time no see. - **努力赚养老钱** (2026-08-18T17:34:21.000Z): 😀😀😀I've been losing so much before, I don't dare to touch anything too close now 😂😂 - **原始名 · 2026-08-18T16:34:38.000Z · 👍 2**: Long time no see, Brother Caizi - **再也不做T了 · 2026-08-18T16:34:33.000Z · 👍 3**: The recent market conditions are really tough to trade. - **彩子** (2026-08-18T16:38:40.000Z): No need for so many trades; making a stable few percent per week is enough. It's not hard to do, it just depends on whether you're greedy and have the patience to wait. - **清风拂醉月 · 2026-08-18T16:34:13.000Z · 👍 1**: 😍 - **努力赚养老钱 · 2026-08-18T16:34:05.000Z · 👍 1**: Is Brother Caizi shorting calls again? - **彩子** (2026-08-18T16:42:33.000Z): You need both long and short positions; the short ones help train your market feel.
