CommemorativeHumanity's greatest lesson: Never learning from mistakes❗️The anatomy of a U.S. stock market crash
"Humanity's greatest lesson is never learning from mistakes"—this statement is painfully accurate when applied to U.S. stock investments!
Recently, U.S. stocks collapsed in a chain reaction, with the Nasdaq dropping over 1.6% in a single day and the S&P 500 breaking through multiple moving averages. AI stocks collectively imploded, and leveraged positions were liquidated en masse. Yet today, after a mere 0.3% pre-market uptick, some are already shouting "Time to bottom-fish!"—forgetting the brutal cases of margin traders losing everything by trying to catch the falling knife. Isn't this the perfect example of not learning from mistakes?
Stop blindly believing in the "buy the dip" mentality. The logic of U.S. stock investing has fundamentally changed:
Liquidity is king! The Fed has locked in high interest rates, the U.S. dollar index is soaring, and global capital is frantically flowing back into U.S. bonds and cash. Risk assets have no support—bottom-fishing now isn't bargain hunting; it's catching a falling knife barehanded, likely leaving you trapped halfway down the mountain with no buyers when you want out.
Veterans die bottom-fishing, all due to blind confidence and not learning from mistakes. Every weak rebound after a crash has people thinking "I can perfectly time the bottom," forgetting that in a downtrend, "the floor has a basement." The 2008 subprime crisis, the 2020 circuit breakers, the 2022 rate-hike bear market—each time, bottom-fishers rushed in only to get trapped. History repeats, but greed always defeats reason.
U.S. stock investing is never about gambling; it's about respecting trends and restraining desires. The lessons repeatedly proven—don't bottom-fish during crashes, cash is king, wait for stabilization signals—are always ignored by some.
This isn't the time for greed; it's the time to control your hands! Don't let "not learning from mistakes" wipe out your capital. Wait for liquidity to recover, panic to subside, and valuations to return to safe zones—that's when real opportunities emerge.
