Dear folks, for those who have traded stocks, bought funds, or been hurt by P2P, today let's chat about the 'survival rules' in the investment world. Don't be fooled by those analysts who draw candlestick charts that look like abstract art; the secret to making money is just three sentences.

Step one: Break even

Every novice’s first love is green. When you watch your account climb back from -50% to break even, that excitement is comparable to winning the lottery. At this moment, do not imitate the male lead in a drama and say 'I'll wait a bit longer'; remember the wisdom of our ancestors: not running away when breaking even is foolish!

Step two: Take profits

After finally making a 20% profit, you instantly enter 'split personality mode': on one hand, you think it can soar to the moon; on the other hand, you're afraid it will crash tomorrow. At this moment, please chant the mantra: 'Don't be aggressive about taking profits; there's something wrong with your head!' (It's suggested to take some profits out to buy a pound of spareribs; after all, account numbers are virtual, but sweet and sour spareribs are real.)

Step three: Keep the position

The remaining bit of your position is your 'bad boyfriend quota'. If it rises, consider it a pleasant surprise; if it falls, don’t feel too distressed. Just like my second uncle said: keeping a position is like keeping an ex's WeChat; it doesn't matter if you leave it alone, but definitely don't keep staring at it every day!

Finally, let's summarize:

'High price doesn’t move, low price hurts': Don’t be like those brave souls shouting 'friends of time' when Moutai is at 2600; they all ended up as 'prisoners of time'.

'Buying makes you a novice, selling makes you a master': Any grandma can point out which vegetables to buy, but the ones who can press the sell button when Bitcoin hits 69,000 dollars are the tough ones who have practiced (the Sunflower Sutra).

Buy when no one cares: When even the square dance grandmas start discussing semiconductors, it’s time for you to check the price of scallions at the market.

Sell amidst the clamor: Remember, when a taxi driver recommends a stock to you, it's time to change your account password to 'tuichulaile886'.

So, friends, when it comes to investing, it really boils down to:

Make money and run fast, cut losses early, keep the green mountains, and you can barbecue every day!
