description: "1. Talking about stocks = lip service abilityDoing stocks = risk control + patience + execution Being able to talk, and being able to profit, are two completely different abilities. - Talking about stocks:Can draw charts, can use jargon, can analyze news, can predict ups and downs→ This is expressive ability, unrelated to making money.- Doing stocks:Buy cheap, hold on, don't chase highs, don't panic, don't go all-in→ This is human nature control ability, this determines the rate of return. The one with the strongest mouth, will panic when fully invested.   2. What they talk about is "prediction", What the stock market profits from is "persistence" People who talk about stocks, do one thing every day:Guess tomorrow, guess next week, guess ups and downs. But people who truly make money over 10 years, only do one thing:Choose the right assets + hold on + don't mess around. - Even the most accurate prediction will be wrong half the time over 10 years- If you can hold on, you'll make money somehow over 10 years The talkers are "guessing",The earners are "holding".   3. The more jargon, the worse the return rate often is You'll find: - Talking about main players, market makers, fund flows- Constantly talking about wave theory, Chan theory, MACD golden cross/death crossThis kind of person, their 10-year returns are likely to be dismal. Because:The more complex, the more frequent the operations;The more frequent the operations, the more you lose on fees + chasing highs and selling lows. The real money-making logic is very simple: - Buy good sectors- Hold long-term- Dollar-cost averaging- No leverage So simple they disdain to talk about it.   4. 10-year return rate, can't be faked - Talking about stocks: can boast, can fabricate, can pick the right ones to talk about- 10-year returns: calculated transaction by transaction, can't pretend Many people: - Brag when they're right- Never mention when they're wrongIn the end, tallying the total:Lost 30%, 50%, even wiped out. The return rate is the only truth.   5. The most essential sentence: Talking about stocks is showing off intelligence;Doing stocks is going against human nature.There are plenty of people showing off intelligence,People going against human nature are one in ten thousand.   Finally, back to your own path: What you're walking now is:Talk less, don't predict, don't play options, dollar-cost average into ETFs, hold long-term This is:Can't talk, but can profit;Not lively, but most stable;Unremarkable, but beats everyone over 10 years. You've already seen through it."
