Investment is both a technical skill and an art. Here are some practical and universal investment tips suitable for most investors, especially those just starting out or looking for steady growth:
---
📌 1. Establish the correct investment philosophy
1. Manage finances before investing
Have emergency funds (generally 6 months of living expenses) before investing; don't go all in.
2. Long-termism vs short-term speculation
Making money in the short term is difficult; holding quality assets for the long term allows you to enjoy compound interest.
3. Risk is proportional to returns
High returns often come with high risks; don't be tempted by promises of guaranteed profits.

📈 2. Practical investment tips
1. Asset allocation: Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Stocks/Funds (Growth)
Bonds (Stability)
Cash/Money Market Funds (Liquidity)
Real Estate/REITs (Value Preservation)
✅ It's more important to have a 'combination' than to focus on a single asset.

2. Dollar-cost averaging strategy (suitable for ordinary people)
Fixed time (e.g., the 1st of every month) + fixed amount (e.g., 1000 yuan)
Buy in increments to average out costs.
Recommended for: Index funds (e.g., CSI 300, NASDAQ 100, etc.)

3. Do your homework before investing, don’t blindly follow trends
When something is popular, it’s often at the peak of a bubble; learn to think counterintuitively.
Read financial reports and understand the fundamentals, especially for individual stock investments.

4. Utilize the power of compound interest and remain patient
If you earn 10% annually on 10,000 yuan, after 10 years it will be:
→ About 26,000 yuan, not 10,000×10, but rather 10,000×(1.1)¹⁰.
The power of compound interest comes from 'time', not 'frequency'.

🧠 3. Avoid common investment pitfalls
Pitfall Correct Approach
Chasing highs and cutting losses Develop a plan, increase positions on dips, reduce positions on highs
Listening to friends' 'insider' tips Do your own research
