It is difficult for small investors to make money in the stock market, because the design mechanism of the stock market is to raise funds for listed companies, not to help ordinary people get rich. It is an indisputable fact that most people lose money in the stock market and only a few people make money. If you must invest in the stock market and hope to earn a return, you must think of things that others cannot think of and do things that others cannot do.
I have talked about some ideological issues, for example, the stock market is not designed for the interests of small shareholders. The possibility of losing money is far greater than the possibility of making money. Many people try every means to make money from you. You must be extra careful, good at research, and good at protection, otherwise you will not win…

Maybe you have already understood these principles. In that case, congratulations: you are already one step ahead of many people, because there are too many people in this world who believe that the stock market is a cash cow (they don’t say it out loud but they think so in their hearts) and that they can make money by just buying a few stocks with their eyes closed; there are too many people who kindly believe that Wall Street analysts or fund managers are all professional people who are busy helping you make money, and it’s right to listen to them.
I hope you don’t think like these people, because if you do, it’s easy for you to become one of the majority of investors and end up losing money.
Not only do you have to think differently from most people, but you also have to clearly realize that they are the ones you make money from. Only when they lose money can you make money. You can’t compete with listed companies and Wall Street. From the moment you buy stocks, your money is already theirs. Your only hope is that there are stupid people who are willing to buy your stocks at a higher price, so that you can earn the difference in the middle. If you hold the stocks in your hands, you will definitely lose money.
