Why do many people always like to trade frequently?
Essentially, it's because they are poor
They fantasize about seizing every trading opportunity
This is not your decision
But rather a habit cultivated by the market
Ten million at 30 years old and ten million at 60 years old are not the same
The picture painted by value investing
You rely on compound interest to earn ten million in twenty or thirty years
But the problem is
You are already 60 years old
What do you need ten million for
By that time, you won't be able to get it up anymore
Everyone has come to this market
Everyone's original intention is to make quick money
How many people came to this market not dreaming of changing their fate?
For retail investors
Value investing is too slow
So slow that if their few tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of capital really went for long-term trading
Even if the return rate is as stable as Buffett's annualized 10-15%
It would take 5-7 years to double
Twenty years later, your five hundred thousand would grow to two or three million
And then what?
Moreover, how many people don't even have five hundred thousand in capital
To take a step back
Even if they do
Can you afford to wait?
How many 5-7 year periods do you have in your lifetime?
Therefore, retail investors are not qualified to talk about win rates
They should only focus on odds
And high-odds things must be low win rates
To turn things around, frequent trading is inevitable
It's like playing Texas Hold'em
Short-stack players cannot support themselves to adopt a balanced strategy like many deep-stacked players
To turn things around, you must broaden your range to seek a glimmer of hope
There are only two paths here
Either be continuously exploited to death slowly
Or increase your pool entry rate to gamble
But the cost is that you must bear high losses
These require you to have solid post-flip skills to compensate
Frequent trading by retail investors is not something to be ashamed of
Being bad is the real problem
