Although there will be stocks that go against the market no matter how the index falls, who can guarantee that those few dark horse stocks are the ones you bought? It is safer to operate in Man Cang when the market is easy to operate. My longest short position record is 5 months. Although it will lose some opportunities, it is very suitable for non-professional investors.
If you hold all the stocks every day, it is equivalent to filling all the black ink in a painting. Think about what kind of painting it is, it will be boring after reading it, and it will definitely not become a work of art.. By the same token, we must learn to actively "leave blank" in stock trading, and "leave blank" is "short position". A brilliant calligrapher knows the truth that "black is the word and white is the word". Similarly, a brilliant stock trader should understand the truth that "Man Cang is a stock trader, and short positions are also a stock trader".
To be a calligrapher, you must learn to leave blank space on your own initiative. Then, to become an expert in stock trading, you must first learn to "short positions".
Seeing this, some investors will ask: How do we know when to be short and when to be in Man Cang? This is a good question, which requires investors to learn slowly in the market. This is the same as understanding that the importance of "blank space" does not mean that you can become a painter, and you need to practice hard. The subtlety of investors is that not only the top of the long line can be short, but also the top of the middle line can be short, and even the top of the short line will be short. It takes a calligrapher's life's efforts to do his best even in details, but if he can do this, he will be a first-class calligrapher in China. Similarly, if an investor can practice this skill, then he will certainly become a first-class expert in the stock market.
