Three Major Misconceptions About Getting Unstuck:
1. No concept of stop-loss. This is the biggest reason for widespread losses among retail investors over the years.
2. Blindly averaging down. When the trend is downward, the result of averaging down can only lead to worse losses.
3. "Being stuck is not scary; as long as I don't sell, I won't lose." This kind of thinking is alarming; the decline can be very severe, and it’s hard to find a bottom.
There are various methods to actively get unstuck, but the core idea that remains unchanged is: to do everything possible to lower the holding cost to offset losses and ultimately achieve profit.
To achieve a quick resolution, one must abandon the lucky mentality of "lying flat" and waiting. Being stuck is already passive; only by being fully alert, calmly analyzing the market and individual stock situations, and taking decisive action can one reverse the downward trend.
