The thinking of value investing



value investing

The epidemic continues to spread, the population of new crown infections keeps growing, and the world's economy is facing a huge cold winter. During this period, the death of black people in the United States even changed from anti-epidemic to protest, and economic and social life has always been difficult to return to the right track. But what is surprising is that the US Nasdaq index has gone out of the V-shaped reversal in just over two months, hitting a record high.

Looking at the record, some customers left the market in the stage of the world epic plunge in mid-March, and recently reluctantly added the position back, the difference between the previous one and the next 10-15%, this is almost a return The average return of a good fund manager in a year.

Sometimes, we always take a look at ourselves, thinking that we can sell high and sell low to make a difference, and even straighten the stock index line, but in the end, it is a fierce operation, all afterward. Two hundred and five. Some people in the stock market often say, "The banker seems to be staring at my hundreds of shares. I don't sell, I don't go up, I go up as soon as I sell." 

Although it is a joke, it proves that although there are thousands of retail investors, they don't know each other There is no contact with each other, but in this group, a large part of the people's psychological capacity and pressure limit and behavior under pressure are strikingly similar.

In the past few years of investment, I have gradually moved to the full operation of spare funds. During this period, I experienced a trade war between China and the United States, the new crown epidemic at home and abroad, and other crises, because I believe in the underlying logic of investment. source".

 The money earned by luck is always lost back by strength, and this is the reason. A gambler occasionally wins by luck in the casino, he will link the result to his unique vision and skill. Just like many so-called high-throwing, low-absorption masters, drawing lines and pictures, saying how much their technical means or spiritual feelings are like. 

The gambler He Hongshen will tell the gambler, you try again and again, the rules of the casino will tell you, your winning side is 49%, my winning side is 51%, even if this 2% gap you can pass again and again Note, lose your old books cleanly. Pitiful is pitiful because some people take their gambling too much after winning the first bet, and a certain comfortable profit will eventually lay the groundwork for a big defeat in the future.

Therefore, we must figure out why we are profitable and why we are losing money. The investment must be on the side with the greatest winning potential and do the right thing for a long time. The economic cycle, the ups, and downs of the stock market are natural laws and cannot be accurately predicted.


 If the economy is not good, we will adjust against the cycle, but it is not that we have made policy, and the economy will recover. This requires a process, but no one can say how long this process is. After buying a good stock or a good fund, it may still fall, and no one knows how much it fell.

 What we know is that it will hit a new high in a few years. The money we make with a strategy is also bound to lose money because the strategy does not match the market conditions. For example, if we buy a hedge fund, we may not have to experience a painful decline when the market plummets, but we will not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the market when the market rises.

And how to do a good investment, I still believe that learning and being able to establish your own set of correct investment strategies and ideas and the value of investment thinking is the most important.

Munger said, "The best way to get something is to equip yourself with it." Please believe the meaning of hard work, please believe the compound interest of time, when one day you deserve it, you will naturally have it.

ASML stock forecast 2025: is it time to buy now?

Hello everyone, recently, because the market has a lot of fears about rising interest rates and shrinking the balance sheet, the Nasdaq as a whole has fallen a lot, and each support has basically been broken one after another. The general price has also broken, so there is no good signal to increase positions in the short term. It may be safer to hold cash first and wait until the decline begins to slow down a little or see a really cost-effective price before considering adding positions. However, the long-term bull market in the future will not end because of this year's interest rate hike, and cash will only become more and more worthless in the long run. In the short-term continuous decline of the stock market, we must put our minds in a positive state. At the same time, we must properly organize our thoughts and positions, prepare bullets, and use this time to do our homework for the stocks we are interested in. In this way, when a good price appears in the future, you will be...

Square(SQ) stock forecast 2025: Is it time to buy?

  Today I will talk about a stock that can be held for a long time was born in the field of electronic payment.   That is Square, another electronic payment company founded by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorcy.  In China, the development of payment methods jumped directly from debit cards to electronic payment, skipping the era of credit card payment, and there is no large-scale popularization. This is due to the continuous innovation of Alipay and Tencent Pay.   In the United States, credit card payment was very popular in the past, and the development of electronic payment was relatively slow. Therefore, domestic investors who often use Alipay and WeChat, look at Square's business, it will be very easy to understand, and the development path is relatively easy to predict.  Speaking of Square, I have to mention another giant in the electronic payment industry, PayPal. The predecessor of PayPal was Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek, founded by Con...

  Few emerging technologies are as exciting as artificial intelligence. We have witnessed its ability to be applied in new ways, from quickly analyzing large amounts of data to improve the efficiency of hardware and software. C3.ai(AI) is one of the only companies in the world that develop artificial intelligence into independent services.

3 Chinese technology stocks forecast 2025: JD PDD and BZUN

  Forget Alibaba(BABA)!  These 3 Chinese technology stocks are more worth buying      Hello everyone, Alibaba is China's largest e-commerce and cloud company. From January to late May, Alibaba's market value has shrunk by nearly 10%, lagging behind many peers.  Antitrust investigations in China, stricter auditing standards in the United States, and funding from growth stocks to value stocks have all dragged down Alibaba's stock price.      Alibaba’s stock is trading at an expected price-to-earnings ratio of 18 times, which may seem cheap, but analysts still expect Alibaba’s earnings to fall by 3% this year because it has absorbed a record US$2.75 billion in antitrust fines.  It also needs to stop exclusive deals with big brands, which may weaken the company's defenses against smaller e-commerce markets.      But this is not all. Alibaba may be forced to divest media assets and share user data with the government, and the group's financial technology su...

  For investors in the currency circle, these two days are destined to be an uneasy day. First, the Republic of El Salvador officially regarded Bitcoin as a legal currency for trading, and then Bitcoin experienced a wave of flash crashes.
