However, for investors like us, your opponent is countless retail investors and huge investment institutions. When people come here to buy and sell, the result will always be that whoever earns money or everyone loses. Even if this market has been rising, it is blowing a huge bubble and overdrawing the future money. There will always be idiots paying the bill in the back. Who is the zero-sum game aimed at? Retail investors, for all retail investors, their profits are only a few, and most people are playing the game of money.
In the face of the institutions you play with, retail investors have almost no advantage at all. The huge amount of money that institutions can master and operate can affect the rise and fall of stock prices; Institutions will always know the latest policy information and insider information before investors; The organization has a mature investment concept, a professional operating system and a high-level analysis team. The game between investors and institutions is an unfair competition in itself. The only comparative advantage of retail investors may be to buy fast and run fast. Institutions can use stock index futures to short, as a hedging tool for market investment, and we small and medium-sized investors can only make money by doing more markets. Therefore, many investors are prone to blindly do more in any market. Even if the market is poor, they always feel that there will be a rebound. Even if there is no rebound, they always feel that the stocks they choose are very good. But once it falls, the whole thing gets stuck.
In short, when you can't see and judge this market clearly, and you can't use stocks as an investment tool effectively and reasonably, this market is a zero-sum game for you. If you are not careful, you will only fall into the strange circle of losing money.
