After a 20% crash, you cut your losses, while seasoned investors quietly increase their positions: Who is the real smart person?

Every time the market drops significantly, the community is in chaos: "It's over, it's over, it's going to zero again," "I cut my losses," "Did the project team run away?" The more these voices are heard, the more it signals seasoned investors to take action.

Why? Because they know that the real bottom fishing in a bear market always happens during the most brutal times. Not every drop signifies a market collapse; sometimes it's just the main players cleaning up and trapping investors.

Novices tend to chase rising prices and cut losses during declines, ultimately losing on both ends. Seasoned investors wait for a pullback to confirm support before buying in, then take profits after a surge. The real opportunities to make money in the market never happen during the noisy times but rather in the moments of panic and silence.

When you learn to control your emotions and understand trends before placing orders, you are no longer that novice cutting losses.
