The roots of retail investors' losses in the investment market can be summarized in the following key points:
Greed and Emotion-Driven:
Retail investors often enter the market driven by dreams of getting rich quickly, stimulated by dopamine after entering the market, chasing short-term profits.
After making profits, their risk appetite increases, and greed leads to overtrading, ultimately returning both principal and profits to the market.
After losses, emotional trading, such as frequent trading or panic selling, further amplifies losses.
Cognitive Bias and Information Asymmetry:
Retail investors mistakenly believe they can outperform the market, ignoring the gap between themselves and major players or institutions.
Major players create illusions using technical patterns (such as head and shoulders, golden crosses) to lure retail investors into buying at high prices.
Information is often delayed and frequently false; retail investors rely on news or fragmented information, making it easy to make incorrect judgments.
Behavioral Pitfalls:
Frequent trading increases the probability of losses; data shows that those who trade frequently lose three times more than savvy investors.
Lack of discipline makes it difficult to execute rational strategies, such as waiting in cash or cutting losses.
Market Ecology and Game Theory:
Ninety percent of retail investors lose in the market; profitable investors need to have probabilistic thinking, game theory thinking, and a holistic market ecological perspective.
In the game between major players and retail investors, retail investors are often the sacrificial lambs who follow suit.
Solutions:
Discipline and Patience: Wait in cash for major panic events (such as market crashes due to policies or external turmoil) before entering, reduce trading frequency, and cut losses.
Independent Thinking: Filter out useless information, build objective judgment standards, and only refer to reliable sources.
Systematic Learning: Cultivate probabilistic thinking and a holistic market perspective, replicate profitable methods, and seek certainty in uncertainty.
Summary: Losses stem from greed, cognitive biases, and behavioral pitfalls; profitability requires discipline, independent thinking, and systematic thinking. In market games, retail investors should 'trade less, wait for opportunities, and cut losses' to capture certain opportunities with probabilistic thinking.
