Since the summer of 2018, A-shares officially included in the MSCI index, and the same year, FTSE Russell also adopted A-shares. This year is called the coming-of-age ceremony for A-shares, and at 28 years old, A-shares officially stepped into the global capital markets.

Since then, a nationwide stock trading frenzy for A-shares has erupted, with some seizing the opportunity to turn things around, while many ordinary people blindly followed the trend, falling into deep losses. The market has no longer been a place for easy profits; fluctuations and volatility have become the norm.
In 2020, the futures market became completely popular, breaking the limitation that stocks could only make money through rising prices. Two-way trading and leveraged profits attracted a large number of people to jump in. But reality is cruel—out of a hundred people, only two or three can consistently profit and walk away unscathed.
Later, cryptocurrency and contract trading became prevalent, with high leverage and high volatility amplifying human greed.
I found that most people simply cannot distinguish between investing, wealth management, trading, and gambling—lacking risk control, blindly going all-in, following trends, turning serious investing into gambling on size, and ultimately being repeatedly exploited by the market. It’s really not worth it.
It’s not that the market has become worse; it’s that too many people’s mindsets and perceptions have distorted trading.
I’m very curious: when did you start getting involved in stocks, futures, or contracts? Have you ever followed the crowd and lost money or stepped into traps? Friends who share similar feelings or have practical experience are welcome to exchange ideas—let’s talk about how ordinary people can avoid scams and trade rationally.
