I just realized an interesting thing – investors often encounter what Buddhism calls the five poisons of the mind. If you can't overcome them, it's very difficult to survive through the market phases, especially when prices are rising.

First is greed. When the market starts to rise, everyone fears missing the peak, so they keep buying more and holding on. The mentality of "if I don't buy now, I will regret it" causes many people to lose their balance.

Second is anger. You will see this clearly when the market corrects – people start criticizing analysts, blaming others, then hurriedly cut losses and walk away. That is the biggest mistake in the early and middle stages of a bull market.

Ignorance is the third evil – when you don't learn or update your knowledge, you are easily deceived and make wrong decisions. Arrogance is also dangerous – when you look down on others or believe you are always right.

But what I want to talk about most is doubt, or in other words, suspicion and indecisiveness. This is what many people get stuck in the most. When you doubt your decisions, lack confidence in your strategy, you will constantly fluctuate – buy then sell, sell then buy. As a result, you always get caught in losing trades.

In reality, to survive long-term in the market, you need to be aware of these five poisons and find ways to overcome them. Not by becoming a superhuman, but simply by maintaining mental clarity and self-awareness.
