I have always had an ideal state, but I have never achieved it.

Some friends I know can do this, making me feel inferior.
That is the ability to quickly and keenly switch assets and accurately grasp cycles.
When the overall trend of the US dollar weakening is fixed, buy gold early and hold long.
When the big trend of AI models taking off is fixed, buy leading assets early and hold long.
Initially, you should buy 1/5 of your total assets; small initial positions for trial and error, adding more later, is the most foolish.
In the early stage, carefully research and think through these two questions:
1. Has the trend of this asset already been fixed and is it difficult to reverse?
2. Is there enough room for growth in this asset's future?
These two questions are not hard to figure out. The hardest part is whether you can always stick to your original idea and see the day when the expected results appear.
Now, friends who want to jump into the US stock market, think carefully about these two questions.
