✍️Learning runs deep

I haven’t been browsing X properly lately. Today I had a bit of free time, so I caught up and did some studying. Honestly, I’ve really been losing a lot lately. It’s truly like no matter where I go, I bring a “born-with-a-talent-for-losing-money” streak with me. The reason I’m able to make money isn’t because I’m particularly capable—it’s because everyone else is making money😭.
🌟A-share “collapse”/breakdown
On last year’s National Day, I brought that talent into A-shares, then spent a year unwinding my positions and getting out of trouble. And this year I went hard again—somehow, I ended up making money.
Then I started having some ideas—following the operations of those big-shot copy-traders, I went into commercial aerospace, and boom!!!!!
I can only say, heh heh—turns out I was making money before because I was fully invested in semiconductors.
After looking at my trades, it would’ve been better to just die in semiconductors. Because even now, semiconductors are still higher than the price I ran at, but commercial aerospace is already down by nearly 40%.
So it turns out it’s still best to buy some ETFs. Buying individual stocks always goes after that kind of “ultra-high” returns, and in the end it often ends up not worth it.
Especially when you hold one stock and always want to chase the dragonhead—then in the end, nothing is really there😮‍💨.
🌟US stocks’ eternal bull market?
In May to June, after various crypto exchanges started frequently listing US stocks / US stock futures, the entire US stock market entered a “technical bear market”.🤣
Don’t ask me how I know—I also heard it from several people who have been trading US stocks, and I was just stunned listening.
From semiconductors, to storage, to glass, to optics—this really is how human history changes.
Then you watch the most badass US stock line-drawing masters in history, constantly “drawing lines” just by talking.
But I still keep a positive outlook. Don’t ask why—ask “because I’m stuck in the bag”; only after a pump can I get back to even.
And what I bought were also the so-called “high-tech industries.” Don’t ask—ask “they’ll pump it.”
🌟Crypto is the original family
After looking around, it seems like crypto is where people make money more. Maybe at least what they’re saying is closer to the truth than lies—you can understand a little.
Otherwise it’s all just “left listening,” making a fortune in US stocks, and “right listening,” making a fortune in A-shares—none of that can be verified.
But whether you’re actually making money in crypto or not—you can see it on-chain😭.
Recently, everyone has been @RobinhoodApp picking up money. Yesterday someone else was @BNBCHAIN picking up money. Before that, someone else was @solana picking up money. Anyway, it’s all picking up money—but only I’m not😮‍💨.
Especially now that crypto can open positions in US stocks/A-shares/Korean stocks—there’s nothing more than maxing out leverage and going in, no matter how you play.
Anyway, I don’t even dare buy “sh*tcoins” anymore. Either buy some on-chain “gambling,” or play stocks in crypto, or the only thing you can still mess with is B.
✍️Opportunities everywhere—opportunities are for people who are prepared
You still have to look more at what you’re good at. If you’re not good at it, you’ll lose even if you enter. And if it’s not enough “gambling,” I feel like crypto people are all good at it—especially leveraging.
So you still need to place bigger bets.
Recently I’ve been looking at what @MetaHunter168 said about Texas Hold’em—still need to learn it. You can’t just watch without getting into the pot; getting into the pot is what lets you win—it’s just that watching might not lead to any results.
But your rate of getting into the pot has to be controlled, otherwise if you get into the pot every hand, it’s hard to manage.
I really want to shout: I’m winning like crazy!
I don’t know what happened to those earlier market periods where people opened fee-charging groups to help people trade stocks—what am I supposed to do? If I can’t even realize a floating loss, doesn’t that mean it’s not a loss… unless it’s still considered a loss, right?😭.
