To sum up, just one sentence: when holding a position, don't be afraid to fall. Since you have chosen to hold a position, there are reasons for your choice. Not only don't be afraid, the more you fall, the more you want to buy it. When you are short, you are not afraid of rising, and always keep enough cash to wait for the unexpected big opportunity.None of the above three situations is easy to do. It is these anti-human operations and staying away from the group consensus that are the prerequisites to ensure that you invest in stocks to make money.From an interesting point of view, the whole process is very boring, and every step of the operation will make you feel very uncomfortable, otherwise it will not be called anti-humanity. The key is whether you can accept it, be consistent with it and live in harmony with it.
For another example, the stock you are optimistic about has not yet reached the hitting point and the valuation is not very cheap, but you have been short-selling for a long time, the market has been rising, and people around you are making money. Can you hold back from buying it and wait until the target company is very undervalued? It is simply more difficult.But if you want to advance to this state, I'm afraid you can't do it overnight. This requires not only methods, but most importantly, you have to be able to understand what you want, and you have to be able to see through the essence of stock rising. It's somewhat philosophical thinking, never knowing that you don't know, not knowing that you know, and then knowing that you know.On the contrary, if your cognition is in place, you basically don't need much persistence or a lot of courage. This is a natural reaction. When you see this phenomenon, such as "underestimating buying and overestimating selling", you will instinctively take action, and there is no discomfort or pain in yourself.

Can you resist the impulse to continue holding and choose to sell? After the sale, the stock price continues to double at the price you sold. Can you hold back the whole process without moving, thinking or regretting? This is also very difficult to do.
