Investment Practice Series: Weaknesses and Advantages in Investment
Life is a practice, everything can be regarded as a practice. Saints'practice takes heaven and earth as stove, making them into work; Yin and Yang as charcoal, and everything as copper; one flower, one world, one tree and one bodhi.
All things are changing and society is changing constantly. But for thousands of years, human nature has been stable. The glory of human nature has been shining continuously, so the society has been progressing and the weaknesses of human nature have been exerting constant influence, so the historical tragedy repeats again and again.
The stock market is a concentrated small world, a typical temple and an excellent monastery. It combines all the strengths and weaknesses of human nature. The merits will be commended and the weaknesses will be punished mercilessly. It will spur us to constantly correct and reduce our weaknesses, strengthen or increase our strengths.
Talk about the weaknesses of investment and the advantages it should have.
- Ignorance plus venture: We go shopping to buy tens of yuan of clothes, go to the vegetable market to buy a few yuan of dishes all know to buy more than three, careful to investigate and compare, compare quality, price, style, cost-effective ratio, generally have a few in mind before buying, but in the face of the stock market, nothing knows how hard it is to listen to the so-called insider news of a few unreliable friends. Ten years saved tens of thousands or even millions of individuals into a market they do not understand completely, ignorance and venture, become the most important factor for most retail investors to make serious losses. Knowing one's friends and knowing the other can win a hundred battles. Ignorance is not only ignorant of stocks, but also ignorant of oneself and others. No matter what we do, 90% of the people will be eliminated by diligence alone. Besides, people who are smarter than us are more diligent than us. Why don't we work hard? If laziness, ignorance and rash advance, it is basically a dead end.
- Deadly Conceit: What are the most fearful things in investment, work and life for friends who have some investment experience and have been successful? I think it's fatal conceit.
When we continue to succeed in a certain field, we tend to attribute this success to our ability, experience and wisdom, ignoring such factors as luck, opportunity, choice of the times, and then begin to become conceited. The more successful we are, the stronger our ego will become, and then we will begin to erode our hearts. Past successful experiences will become the guiding principles for our investment, life and work. We will not hear and see other factors. We will gradually become paranoid, arrogant and conceited. We will begin to lose our awe and think that we have become the God of stocks, grasp the truth of stock market investment, and the whole world will be in our hands. Grasp, invisibly begin to ignore the risk, increase risk, and eventually let oneself into a place of eternal disaster.
Respect common sense, history and reason. Always be humble and awe-struck. Don't let success become a deadly ego.
- Impetuousness: The short life determines the impetuosity of human nature. Most people want to get rich quickly and successfully in a limited short life, but they can not bear to learn to accumulate, so they become very impetuous. It is impetuous to rush in ignorantly before buying, to be anxious after buying, to be frightened in the process of holding a position, and to regret after selling. Investment has become a painful thing. Slow is fast. Only by learning, improving and accumulating steadily step by step can we lay a good foundation and turn time and compound interest into friends of study and investment. The process of cultivation is to wash away the impetuous spirit of the body and gain peace and tranquility in the heart, so as to achieve the state of spoiling and not startled. It can not only collapse in front of Mount Tai without changing its color, but also endure loneliness and watch the flowers blossom and fall in front of the court. At that time, investment became a happy, peaceful and peaceful thing.
