"How can newbies achieve financial freedom this time around? Extreme patience + extreme determination Newbies, please patiently wait for the AI bubble to burst. In the next five years, there’s a high probability that the U.S. stock market will experience a correction of over 30%. Work hard, save up at least $300K. When the bubble bursts, go all-in on the Nasdaq index. During a market crash year, deploy all your chips. Then, delete your trading apps and check back in ten years. Sounds simple in theory, but almost no one can pull it off successfully. There are two key challenges that make it incredibly difficult: 1️⃣ The bull market will tempt you to cash out too early. Before the bubble bursts, there will definitely be a crazy bull run that makes you question reality. The year before the dot-com bubble burst, the Nasdaq index surged 100%. That kind of insane bull market will make you doubt everything and tempt you to hand over your chips. Resist the temptation, and you’ll have the chance to buy the dip. 2️⃣ The bear market will test your courage to bet big. Once the bubble bursts, the global economy will inevitably stagnate. Headlines like "East rising, West falling" and "America is doomed" will flood the internet. The stock market will keep falling, and there will always be a lower bottom. Even after a 50% drop, you’ll wonder if it’ll keep falling to 60%, 70%. Your subconscious, your psychology, your friends, even your family will try to stop you from investing at this point. Whether you dare to catch a falling knife will directly determine if you can achieve high returns.
