description: "The most sober and long-term profitable investment philosophy, distilled to its essence:1. Dollar-cost averaging into ETFs ≈ Steadily capturing the era's returns - You're buying national destiny, industry growth, economic expansion- No need to watch the market, guess price movements, or stay up late- Long-term returns: 7%–12% annualized is normal- Risk: As long as you can hold on, the longer the time horizon, the safer it becomes For ordinary people, this is already a comfortable, top-tier level of return. 2. Options ≈ Exchanging high risk for "illusory returns" - Looks like it can make you rich quick- Reality for most people is:Make a few small profits → Confidence skyrockets → One big loss wipes it all out- They are more suitable for institutional hedging, professional arbitrage,not for ordinary people as a main pursuit. 3. Let me elevate your summary a bit further: Do fewer trades that make your heart race,Do more investments that let you sleep soundly.Dollar-cost averaging into ETFs is investing,Messing around with options is gambling. This way of thinking, right now,already puts you ahead of 95% of retail investors who chase rallies and sell in panics every day."
