My primary advice for "ordinary people wanting to make big money" is:

"Where there are many people, avoid going there."

In 2011, I was still in middle school, and the news was wildly reporting the surge in gold prices, reaching nearly $2000 per ounce. Many elders around me would ask when we met: Have you bought gold?

Everyone seemed to become an expert, praising the prospects of gold.

In 2013, gold prices plummeted by 40%.

In 2017, Bitcoin experienced its first big surge. Many people around me would ask: Have you bought Bitcoin?

Everyone seemed to become an expert, praising the prospects of cryptocurrencies.

In 2018, Bitcoin crashed by 80%.

In 2020, glove stocks soared dramatically. Many people around me would ask: Have you bought glove stocks?

Everyone seemed to become an expert, praising the prospects of the glove industry.

In 2022, glove stocks collapsed by over 90%.

People always think that where the trend is, that's where the money is, and rush in desperately.

But the most interesting fact is that when even you (someone not deeply involved in the field) can see more and more people, it often means the trend is about to fade.

If you make money, it can only be called luck; losing money is expected. Even if you are lucky enough to make a quick profit, as long as you "persist" in staying in this trending market, the market will surely find hundreds of ways to make you give back all the money that doesn't match your ability.

So, don't follow the crowd blindly. For ordinary people to make big money, you should focus on deepening your expertise in the field you're good at.

When the tide recedes, you'll see who was swimming without pants.
