A Year of Apprenticeship

I’ve been trading stocks for quite a few years. How did I trade over these years? I followed recommendations from coworkers and recommendations from friends. I didn’t know why I should buy, didn’t know the logic, didn’t understand the technicals. I didn’t know when to sell—when they told me to sell, I sold. That’s how it counts as trading stocks. It went on for about six or seven years. If I had to use one word, it’s loss.

Starting from Dec 24, I began seriously studying how to read stock moving averages and price trends. From some short videos, I learned a bit of knowledge and started learning to trade in waves. It’s kind of ridiculous—I even went into limit-up chasing. At first, maybe luck was good and the market was favorable, and I ended up not losing that much. As time went on, after a few big losses, I never dared to chase limit-ups again.

I felt that relying on myself to trade stocks wasn’t really working. Starting last year, by a coincidence, I gradually consulted and studied with several teachers. Here I can refer to four teachers as teachers A, B, C, and D. The four teachers can be said to have achieved quite a bit in the stock market. Teacher A works in securities and has a more aggressive style—doesn’t fear highs, chases after rallies, emphasizes the big direction and logical sectors. But after a few months, I learned very little. Teacher B is a short-term trading expert. I didn’t learn much either, but I did pick up some skills for doing T on the same day. Teacher C should be a very high-level expert in stock trading—on a big-shot level. He’s a long-term investor who studies performance and financial reports, and his technicals are also excellent. For example, with companies like Cambrian and China’s more, each of those stocks he picked reached five or six times. He would only start trading each stock after researching it for a long time. Unfortunately, this teacher is proud and unwilling to share everything—so I only learned a little.

Teacher D is still a teacher I’m learning from. I listen carefully to his classes. He’s purely a technical-focused type. I particularly agree with this teacher’s philosophy: buy potential stocks at lower levels. I’ve been learning for just over a month. Even though I happened to run into factors like the war and the stock market dropped hard, after taking his course, I know these low-priced stocks are in hand and I’m not that panicked. The stocks I hold also gradually rotate and generate profits.

The teacher often says: “Don’t cry over spilled milk.” I remember it—people need the ability to summarize and to turn the page.

We need to start over in the stock market. Especially today’s Guang Pu Shares—I sold it at a high position, which gave me quite a lot of confidence! Right now, these stocks all have 100 shares left.

Today, I added to Fu’an Shares and Juzhi Technology, Yidun Electronics. Today I added to Juzhi Technology, Fu’an Shares, and Yidun Electronics. Today the overall market sentiment was really bad—the account rose surprisingly and sharply. Grateful for that. Today, what I did wrong is that the positions where I added to three of the stocks were a bit too high, but it’s fine. If they go up later, I won’t care about those price differences. … Let’s make a trade record! Take it seriously and summarize! Hope my investing journey in the future can go smoothly!
