Don't Be Too Clever! The 90% Win Rate Comes From?

Most stock market losses come from reckless trading.

One investor, for example, entered the market in 2022, bought a few stocks, and then essentially ignored them likely ending up with some losses or being stuck in positions. Fast forward three years, and when she finally checked their account today, these stocks were actually in profit overall.

The A-share market has mostly been fluctuating with sector rotations over the years, but without buying or selling, you don’t lose money either.

A veteran investor with a 90% win rate over 10 years once said:

“The key to investing is to stop being clever.”

Because even someone as smart as Newton lost money in the markets—this game isn't about IQ, it's about discipline.

This is a meme about IQ & stock returns

Investing should be about sticking to your rules day in and day out: buying low, selling high. Or treat it like saving for retirement—just dollar-cost average into the S&P 500. If you want to appear more professional, you can tailor your investing to market levels: invest less when the market is high, and invest more when it's low.

Our focus should be on identifying long-term trends and let time, not technical tricks, do the rest.

    My strategy is largely buy and hold for US and my SREITs but trade HK/ China stocks due to their volatility. Given the recent increased uncertainty in the US stocks, I would prefer to also lock in profits.


    I am mostly someone who looks at the fundamentals rather than technicals. However, I think macro factors are increasingly weighs more than fundamentals for the stock prices. The wars along with Trump’s eccentricity do add to the uncertainty. For good stocks, I would prefer to average down during such times if the price reaches my price target but will also keep a good portion of my cash in case the dip dips further. For HK/ China stocks, once the price rises to my target price, I will take profit as I would rather make a small profit than to end up as a bag holder. Sometimes, I do average down so that it would be easier for me to lock in profit when the price do rise later.

    投資應該是日復一日地堅持你的規則:低買高賣.或者把它當作爲退休儲蓄——僅美元成本平均進入標普500。如果你想顯得更專業,你可以根據市場水平調整你的投資:市場高時少投資,市場低時多投資。

    市场有涨有跌。这是真的,就我而言,我交易越多,亏损的机会就越大[Facepalm][Spurting].话虽如此,我有不同的投资组合。一种是在20多年的时间框架内以最少的修剪进行简单的购买,并且还在继续。一个是几乎日常交易账户。一个是在过去10年里,每当我有一些闲钱时,我就会非常缓慢地增加,这会导致偶尔的头寸调整。第一个,我很少碰,仍然是我的主导账户。它碰巧包含一些经典的黄金和白银矿商,这有助于提升整体投资组合。频繁交易的账户最近终于转正了,但仍在输赢之间波动。第三个投资组合最初是没有希望的,但经过几年前的削减后,已经变成了健康的赢家。蓬勃发展的铀矿、各种房地产投资信托基金和健康的公用事业也发挥了作用。
    是的,频繁交易确实会影响我的回报,但有时一点点调整会有所帮助! [Tongue]

    I m investing for SG dividends. Hence every month I will buy SG stock - minimum 1 counter. This month my hand very itchy as I had bought 2 counters. 2 days ago almost bought my 3rd counter but my price didn’t strike. Anyway, I m in no hurry to buy more counters. If I can’t get it this month, maybe I might have some luck next month. Instead, I bought UT using my SRS fund. [Happy][LOL][Smile][Chuckle][Bless]😱3 trading this month. [Heart][USD][Love][Love you]

    🌟🌟🌟Investing isn't a sprint.  Investing is actually a slow dance with time.  Forget about chasing technical tricks or timing the market.  Long term stock investing to me is all about having Patience, Resilience and watching my money grow as businesses evolve and my dividends compound.

    The secret sauce of Successful Investing is Letting Time Do the Heavy Lifting While I Focus on Quality and Consistency.

    Because in the markets - Slow and Steady Doesn't Just Win The Race - It Builds The Castle!
