Ordinary people want to make money in the stock market, but it's not that complicated ❗ ️ Brothers and sisters, many people study "the next bull stock and leading stock" every day, and then study various technologies and indicators. However, most people ultimately don't make much money, and many lose money instead. For ordinary people, there are only six paths that can truly lead to long-term success, which I believe are simple, practical, and effective. ① Big drop buying index I don't do anything normally, I have to work and live. Wait for the market to experience a panic style crash and use spare money to buy broad-based ETFs in batches. Not guessing stocks, only making money for the overall market recovery. ② Capture one or two good stocks and repeatedly hit the wave No need to switch every day. Find 1-2 companies that are truly favored and always keep some cash: sell a little when they rise and buy a little when they fall. The long-term goal is not to make a profit once, but to continuously reduce the cost of holding positions. ③ Buy high dividends and gradually collect money Find a company with stable cash flow and strong dividend payout ability, and buy it when the valuation and price are relatively low. Don't pursue skyrocketing, take dividends and other assets for appreciation. This method may seem slow, but its biggest advantage is that you don't have to stare at the disk every day. ④ Look at the cycle and buy what others don't want to buy. The easiest time to make money in the market is often not when everyone is discussing it. When popular sectors rise to the sky, look for industries that have fallen a lot, have cheap valuations, but whose fundamentals have not completely broken down. When others are afraid, you study opportunities. ⑤ Good companies offer discounts, so buy it This is the simplest logic of value investing: don't count the stars, count the moon first. Don't search for dozens of stocks every day, find truly excellent leading companies, wait for market sentiment to push them to a cheaper position, and then lay out in batches. Real big money often comes from good companies, good prices, and enough time. ⑥ Invest in the next 'small giant' This one is the most difficult. Looking for companies that are not yet large in scale, but have huge industry space and strong competitiveness, and may grow several times or even dozens of times in the future. This is actually 'counting stars'. The returns may be the highest, but the requirements for industry understanding, stock selection ability, and resilience to volatility are also the highest. So I increasingly feel that the real difficulty in the stock market is not finding ways to make money, but finding a set of methods that you can persist in for the long term. Some people are suitable for indices, some are suitable for bands, some are suitable for high dividends, some are suitable for cycles, some are suitable for value investing, and some are willing to take higher risks to find the next super growth stock. No path is necessarily the most profitable, only the path that suits you best. The biggest fear of investing is not slow methods, but learning value investing today, chasing hot topics tomorrow, and going short-term the day after tomorrow. Choose a path that you truly understand and continue on for a long time, which may actually be closer to wealth growth than searching for the "secret to sudden wealth" every day. Which route are you taking now?
