Deeply underwater—don’t panic; when prices plunge, you dare to add to your position. On the rebound, be willing to sell; in a range-bound market, trade swing. Don’t stubbornly hold just because the loss is small. Don’t ignore it just because the profit is thin. Getting out of a bind isn’t just about not going back to square one—it’s truly about winning back your initiative. Know the bigger trend, abandon fantasies, and don’t idolize a single stock. Position is your ammunition; patience is your sightline. Survive first—wait for the wind to come; only then can you be a real winner.
