Those who truly make big money through investment often remain as still as a deep pond.
The crazier the market, the steadier they are — unhurried, neither chasing nor fleeing, their emotions simply cannot control them. Decisions made in haste are 90% wrong; taking a moment longer often clarifies the direction.
Stay calm, quiet your mind, and ponder more; only then can your brain function effectively.
No matter how lively the market gets, they remain calm like outsiders; they enter when appropriate and retreat when necessary, never swayed by the rhythm of the crowd.
Calmness is a skill, and more importantly, a habit. Those who love to join the hustle and bustle are basically destined to lose; they crowd wherever there are many people, chase whatever is popular, and in the end, they only buy mediocre goods and lose clearly.
Investment is not about speed, but about composure. When others are jumping around, if you can sit still, you've already won against most people.
Although it's said that investment should be as steady as an old dog, and that it's best to stay in cash and observe, I just can't sit still! A small dabble in the early session!
