#Micron’s Market Cap Breaks $1 Trillion
The U.S. stock market keeps hitting new highs—it’s become the day’s “basic operation.” And the semiconductor sector, in particular, has been soaring recently. Looking at the “green” A-shares I’m holding, and then at SanDisk and Micron across the ocean that casually jump 10% or 20%, I really don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I completely “missed the boat” on this rally in U.S. and Japan/South Korea stock markets! That said, I recently joined Gate Plaza’s “TradiFi Trading Sharing” event. By posting, I’ve done some research on U.S. stocks—so next, I’m also planning to jump into the hype around U.S. and Japan/South Korea stock markets and get my share of the pie!
1. Entry Stage: Build confidence through short-term profits, become addicted to leverage gains, gradually treat trading as your main job, and shift your mindset from rational investing to profit-driven speculation.
2. Expansion Stage: Rely on past profit experience, underestimate risks, keep increasing positions and magnifying your operations; a sense of luck grows, and you gradually cross your own trading principles.
3. Loss of Control Stage: Encounter extreme market conditions—judgment fails and losses intensify. Emotions swing violently, swayed by gains and losses, trapping you in a vicious cycle of chasing losses and engaging in heavy position battles.
4. Internal Struggle Stage: Ongoing losses trigger self-doubt, anxiety, and depression; mental pressure keeps accumulating. Even if you sincerely want to adjust, it’s hard to escape inner demons and fixations.
5. Final Stage: Funds completely collapse, with both body and mind breaking down; life and family are severely damaged, ultimately ending in tragedy.
1. Hold the Diamond Sutra, realize all phenomena are empty and illusory, break attachment to self and dharma, and do not be trapped by wins, losses, or ingrained experiences.
2. Recite the Heart Sutra, understand that the five aggregates are empty, dispel fear and despair, and stay away from emotional upheavals.
3. Strictly observe trading precepts, avoid leverage and heavy positions; practice generosity often, transforming greed into altruism.
4. Focus the mind on Buddha’s name to gather the spirit, do not cling to intentions when doing things, remain unmoved by changing circumstances, and this is liberation. 😄🙏
**Core Summary**
1. **Common root causes of Livermore and Liu Qiang**
Both are deeply trapped in speculative games of winning and losing, fixated on the contest between gains and losses, and stubbornly clinging to market trends and past experience. Greed, anger, and the loss-and-gain calculus firmly bind them. Although they understand trading and have also explored the study of temperament, they still failed to completely break free of ego-attachment (self-attachment). Their mindset swings violently with profits and losses; in the end, their mental state collapses and they walk toward tragedy.
2. **Their respective individual triggers**
Livermore: He spent his entire life moving between short-term speculation, with repeated ups and downs. He was never able to let go of whether trades won or lost. Throughout his life, he was enveloped and driven by desire and emotion, and in his later years, he concluded that his life had completely failed.
Liu Qiang: He had a mature trading system and an understanding grounded in Buddhism, yet in extreme market conditions he broke his own principles and took reckless risks with heavy positions. On top of that, his old illness—depression—intensified; after market action shattered his understanding, he fell into self-doubt and mental collapse.
3. **The core warning**
Speculation in contract futures is akin to gambling, and it very easily amplifies inner demons. If you are obsessed with chasing profit, harboring luck and wishful thinking, and you lose sight of the bottom line, that is the root cause of losing money, harming your body, and having your household and affairs fall apart. 😊🙏
