4 billion vs. 250 billion—Masayoshi Son chose to cash out with $4 billion and run! Facing NVIDIA’s founder Jensen Huang, Masayoshi Son could only muster an awkward smile, hiding the bitterness in his heart. After all, $4 billion is just a drop in the ocean compared to $250 billion. But hey, he still made a decent profit. To be fair, Masayoshi Son has invested in many projects, some of which turned out to be complete disasters. That said, he did bet on a few winners, like Alibaba and NVIDIA, which kept him thriving for years. The difference between speculation and investment is just one word, but the underlying logic really tests a person’s understanding! You can only earn money within the limits of your knowledge, abilities, and vision . Clearly, Masayoshi Son has some level of insight, but he failed to foresee the massive impact AI would have on the semiconductor industry. That’s why he later doubled down on AI investments, trying to make up for the “huge loss” from his NVIDIA investment. In the stock market, those with significant capital who want big returns have two main strategies: 1. Go the quant route like Liang Wenfeng, using quantitative methods to scrape profits bit by bit, turning small gains into big wins. 2. Adopt a long-term approach like Warren Buffett or Duan Yongping—identify a high-quality company, hold onto its stock, and don’t sell until you find an even better opportunity. For us regular folks, it’s clear that these two investment strategies are hard to pull off. Instead, we have to look for opportunities where small investments can yield big returns. To do that, we need to improve our knowledge and professional skills, accumulate small wins into big victories, and build up our capital. Once we reach a certain level of capital, we can start replicating the strategies of those two types of investors. The road ahead is long and winding, but we’ll keep striving and exploring. Let’s go, friends! #Investing #Finance #AI #StockMarket
