Beware of Holding Positions: Holding positions may seem like perseverance, but in reality, it is a dangerous behavior that hides a huge crisis.
From a financial perspective, it is like a black hole that continually erodes wealth. For example, in the stock market, when stock prices drop, Xiao Zhang chooses to hold the position, thinking it will rebound quickly, but the stock price plummets instead. In just a few months, the account funds shrink significantly, and the money originally intended for improving life turns into a mirage. In high-leverage markets like futures, holding positions can quickly trigger the risk of liquidation, causing investors to lose all their principal in an instant.
The psychological pressure brought by holding positions should not be underestimated. Investors are constantly shrouded in anxiety, with every market fluctuation feeling like a heavy blow to the heart. During the period of holding positions, Xiao Wang stares at the market every day, unable to sleep at night, his work efficiency drops sharply, and his life becomes a mess; the pressure of investing leaves him physically and mentally exhausted.
From the perspective of opportunity cost, being trapped in losing positions is like being locked in a cage. When the new energy sector rises, Lao Li misses the profitable opportunity to invest in new energy stocks because he is holding onto losing positions in traditional energy stocks, causing him to completely miss the market's new trend.
Holding positions can also distort investors' perceptions of the market. Xiao Zhao once accidentally succeeded in holding a position and mistakenly regarded it as an investment treasure, leading to frequent holding positions, and ultimately suffering heavy losses during a severe market fluctuation. Holding positions not only hinders the improvement of trading skills but also traps people in incorrect investment philosophies. Investing is not gambling; staying away from holding positions is essential for steady progress on the investment path.
