Last week, A-shares were trampled by small and micro markets because of the new country Jiutiao, with 110 stocks falling by more than 20% and 1,327 stocks falling by more than 10%.
A reader came to me and complained that A-shares are slaughterhouses.
He said that he had tears of sadness in stock trading, and that he had lost more than 40% in more than ten years.
and mentioned that he has seen through the truth of A-shares and has completely lost confidence in A-shares.
What can I say about that? There are so many stories like this.
He asked me what I thought about A-shares.
I said that the "truth" I saw was different from his, and I was still quite optimistic.
He said I had gone mad and wanted to turn back.
On the topic of the truth about the stock market, I think it's worth exploring.
What is the truth about A-shares?
One, it's not the truth
What I want to say is that the A-shares that everyone sees are not the truth.
How to understand this sentence?
Let me tell you a story.
When a monk saw a tiger hunting a goat, he went up to dissuade him, saying that killing was against the way of heaven and would go to hell.
The tiger said, "If I don't kill it, my children will starve to death."
At this moment, a cold arrow flew over and hit the tiger's thigh, and the hunter jumped out of the grass, ready to kill the tiger.
The monk also advised the hunters: Don't kill, go to hell.
The hunter said: The landlord has captured my child, and if I don't exchange a tiger skin for money, the landlord will not let my child go.
The monk ran to persuade the landlord to return the child to the hunter.
The landlord said: This hunter owes me money, and he has to pay it back. What if I give the child back to him and everyone borrows money and doesn't pay it back?
At this time, the landlord's son was studying ecology, and the teacher said: If the tiger does not eat the goat, the goat will gnaw the whole mountain.
After the story is told, what do you think is the truth?
Second, everything you hear is just opinions, not facts
In the Meditations, Marcus Aurelius says: Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Therefore, no one can claim to have seen through the truth of A-shares.
Because each of us looks at A-shares with our own perspective, position, purpose, situation and emotions.
At the same time, we are also limited by our cognition and thinking, and it is difficult to understand those opinions that are outside of our own cognition.
As a result, we can see a very interesting phenomenon, no matter which point of view, there are a thousand strange comments. And everyone seems to think that their own opinion is the truth.
I am deeply touched by this, because there are many voices underneath each article.
3. High-dimensional and low-dimensional
Since no one can know the truth, what should we do?
The answer is: let yourself continue to ascend!
Let's take a simple example.
Elementary school students can only solve a math problem by simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
But there are also ways to solve problems: equations, analytic geometry, sequences, calculus, functions, and so on.
The more methods we know, the wider the dimensions of our thinking.
Elementary school students may retort, why is a simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problem so complicated?
Yes, if it's just to get an answer, we can choose the easiest way instead of learning the other way.
But if I don't learn other methods, I won't be able to understand the world from multiple perspectives.
In other words, when we learn various methods, we can understand the thinking of elementary school students, but elementary school students cannot understand us.
As soon as the problem becomes a little more complicated, the elementary school students are confused.
If we go to the countryside, we will feel it deeply.
Because we will find that the people there do not understand us at all.
We may not understand them, but we can learn their way of thinking in a very short time, and they have a hard time learning our way of thinking.
The more ways of thinking we have, the closer we can get to the truth.
Of course, we will never be able to get the truth.
Fourth, people are lazy
In this world, only a few people can master more ways of thinking, because people are lazy.
The more advanced the way of thinking, the more difficult it is to learn.
After all, how easy it is to lie on the couch and watch short videos.
Even they will laugh at those who strive to improve themselves.
Why?
Because people's success is largely related to luck.
There are too many people in the stock market who make money because of their luck.
At this time, they will think that they are superior in intelligence, and they will ignore objective laws.
It's a pity that fate always likes to tease people.
The more self-righteous people are, the more thoroughly they are cleaned up in the stock market.
Fifth, we don't need to know the truth
Since no one can know the truth, there is no need for us to pursue the absolute truth.
What we need to do is to elevate ourselves to the truth.
Whoever can get closer to the truth wins.
Our aim is to outperform our peers in the competition.
To put it simply, when you can understand other people and others can't understand you, you have achieved high dimensions and low dimensions.
Although the old shareholder at the beginning of the article has been in the stock market for more than ten years, he is still in a low-dimensional state.
The reward is voluntary, and 1 cent is silently supported, haha!
