Winners and investment masters are successful in the market, but in essence, they are not necessarily comprehensive about how to express themselves. Even if they know something, how to convey it to investors through media, books and language will encounter difficulties. It is difficult for investors to have the opportunity to communicate with the master in depth, and they have different understanding abilities and have a preference for the master's experience, which leads to incomplete information transmission. Therefore, investors will have an idea about the success of these masters: success in the market depends on talent or special skills.

1. Study the commonness between successful investors and masters.

When studying these successful investors and masters, we should first study the commonness of successful investors and masters, because only these commonalities are necessary for all successful investors and can be imitated and learned by all. At the beginning, some investors only studied a successful investor and master because of their personal investment style, so that they could only explore the growth characteristics of this successful investor and master, while ignoring the commonness of other successful investors and masters. Only by discovering and comprehending the commonness of many successful investors and masters and discovering the essential connotation of their long-term success in the market can investors achieve the purpose of real learning.

In the investment process of more than ten years, the author has contacted many types of investors and found that many investors have taken many detours and formed many bad habits because of the blank investment theory in the domestic investment community, which is difficult to correct. Just like a child who is used to "splayed feet" when learning to walk, it is difficult to correct it all his life. Therefore, when investors begin to learn, they must start with the experience of successful investment masters and avoid detours.

For example, all investment masters have mentioned the importance of "fund management". Many investors generally only realize the importance of grasping the market direction and psychological control, but ignore the decisive role of "fund management" and its interaction with investors' psychological influence, which is the central link for investors to win in the market for a long time. And these investment experts have a very strong "competitive heart" and constantly pursue victory.

The best way, of course, is to have the opportunity to trade with successful investors and masters. Just like the martial arts masters in martial arts novels travel around the world, looking for masters to learn martial arts. Only in this way is the best and fastest learning method. A friend of the author is like this, constantly visiting masters all over the country and learning from them with an open mind. For more than a year, he paid hundreds of thousands of tuition fees and finally achieved something, earning several times a year. But the premise is that the masters can express their experiences well and teach them to investors, because some successful investors and masters can't teach them well without becoming a theory. It's just that investors themselves have considerable investment experience and good understanding.

I once studied with an American investment expert. After contact, I found that he was introverted and inarticulate. I remembered the secret of success of joe girard, the world's first salesman: the two secrets of sales promotion are "asking" and "listening". In order to seize the opportunity and learn as much as possible from this expert's investment experience, I sorted out nearly 100 questions during my lunch break. Through the exchange of questions and answers, I learned a lot of valuable experience from this American investment expert, which was very enlightening to me.

If there is no chance, read more books, listen to lectures by successful investors and masters, attend advanced classes and communicate with high-level investment experts.

After learning the experience of successful investors and masters, it takes hard training to turn these experiences into your own. Doing nothing is ignorance. Only by repeating it over and over again can investors train in simulation and actual combat, master these investment technologies in simulation and actual combat, and gradually develop these investment technologies into their own stable investment habits. The author's sister used to be a sparring partner of Guangzhou badminton team. I asked her how athletes are trained. She told me, "Every shot must be repeated 65,438+million times to play well in the competition." The success of investment is to do simple and profitable things repeatedly.

When studying the experience of these successful investors and masters, many investors have neglected a key factor, that is, how to know the investors themselves in the experience of so many predecessors, and then use their own analytical skills. Many investment masters did not explicitly mention this point in their books and documents, but they all discussed it in detail, which can only be refined by investors themselves. Short-term expert Schwartz attended the annual traders' dinner after winning the futures competition. He is very envious of Michael Magaz and his student Bruce Kovner, who made love in the market, their brilliant achievements in managing the fund and their style of attending the dinner by private helicopter. So Schwartz also set up an investment fund of 80 million. However, because Schwartz's operating style is short-term, it is impossible for a fund close to hundreds of millions to operate in short-term, which leads him to liquidate the profitable transactions quickly in the operation, but the losing transactions are kept, which violates the "iron rate" of the market winners. He lost money for the first time in 55 months, and his health collapsed and he was hospitalized. After deeply understanding his investment style, Schwartz decisively ended his investment fund, returned to the short-term operation style, and maintained millions of dollars in annual income.

The process of learning is actually the process of discovering yourself. "There is no best in the world, only what suits you is the best." Only by recognizing this, can we grasp the direction in learning and give full play to investors' own strengths. Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of China's reform and opening up, designed and built a Socialism with Chinese characteristics road for China, which led China into a new historical stage and made brilliant achievements that attracted worldwide attention.
