When I see a stock price going up, I don’t immediately think it is a good investment. For me, the more important thing is to understand what is happening inside the company.


I like to look at revenue growth, profit, debt, cash flow and the company’s future growth potential. A company can be doing very well, but if the current valuation is already too high, buying at that price may not always be a good decision.
Sometimes we focus too much on the price and forget about the actual business. I think good stock research means looking at both sides before making a decision.

Price is determined by market sentiment, while the business is run by the company itself. The two often diverge, so you need to distinguish between them yourself.

The biggest problem for retail investors is actually not that they don’t understand fundamentals, but that they can’t hold on: even after fully understanding their research, they still don’t dare to take a heavy position. That’s the paradox.

Many people only look at candlestick charts and chase rallies or sell into declines, but whether a company makes money is what really matters—once cash flow dries up, everything else is pointless.

Everyone has heard “buying stocks means buying companies” countless times, but when it’s time to buy, people still get lured in by the gains. Discipline matters more than analysis.

I learned the hard way: I used to rush in whenever I saw a stock hit consecutive limit-ups, only to end up holding the bag. Later, I learned to check the debt ratio and operating cash flow first, and things became much steadier.

Valuation is the hardest part. Moutai also seemed expensive at first, but then kept rising; it still comes down to whether growth can justify the valuation.

Exactly— the more sharply it rises, the more nervous I get. I’ll check the financial report first.
