In the bloody and stormy market, how do retail investors survive in dire straits? #币圈
In the battlefield of financial markets, 'a general's success comes at the cost of countless bones' is by no means an exaggeration — the violent rises and falls are like a guillotine hanging overhead, and before retail investors can discern the market trends, the sharp blade has already swept away their wealth. Just a tweet from Trump, a jest from Musk, or even a slight change in direction at the international negotiation table can turn into a scythe for harvesting wealth; the brutality of this game has long surpassed imagination.
In the face of this cannibalistic market, the safest survival rule is 'to realize gains promptly.' Timely withdrawals are like tightening a lifeline in turbulent waters; preserving principal is essential to safeguarding one’s livelihood. Otherwise, even if the market warms up, previous losses can be enough to seriously injure ordinary investors. Watching the numbers in their accounts turn from hope to despair, how many retail investors just wanted to earn enough for a pig trotters meal, but ended up losing the entire pig’s worth, the bitterness of which is truly lamentable.
In the current economic winter, with shrinking entities, difficult employment, overwhelming debts, and obstructed foreign trade, ordinary people are repeatedly ground down by life. Knowing that contract trading is like licking blood off a knife's edge, there are still those who step into the high-risk battlefield with the little savings they have in their pockets — after all, under the heavy pressure of life, it seems that this perilous path is the only way to carve out a glimmer of hope in their desperate situation.
When it comes to reducing risks, 'cost dilution' is often on people's lips, but it actually hides a mystery. Taking cryptocurrency investment as an example, when investing 10,000 U at a price of 10 U, and adding another 10,000 U when it falls to 5 U, it seems to lower the average cost, but in reality, each additional investment is like treading on tightrope over an unknown abyss. The market will not pause for your self-rescue efforts; blindly diluting costs can very likely lead you deeper into the pit, ultimately losing everything. In this game against the market, every decision is a matter of life and death, allowing no room for luck.
