There has been some movement in the market these days, so I came out to take a look at the行情.

The current focus areas are still quite clear—Spring Festival related concepts (which have already expired), Chinese narratives, and certain political market themes. The idea is quite simple: track hot topics that resonate with the market.

Speaking of this, some friends have recently asked why I haven't been active lately—whether I have already退出江湖. Haha, not really. I have always emphasized a point: "Only cast your rod when there are fish." I've repeated this many times; if you've been following me for a while, you should be able to hear my repetitions.

The core is this—it's not about always holding positions and trading, but waiting for the truly good opportunities. Many people tend to fall into the trap of "frequent操作," always feeling that there are opportunities at every moment. But that's not the case. Real profits often come from just a few precisely grasped opportunities. Therefore, my strategy has always been: observe, wait, and act when conditions are right. This sense of rhythm is actually key to survival for long-term traders.

Only fish bite when the rod is cast; this point is spot on, but the waiting process is too torturous, haha. Wait, is there anything new in Chinese narrative that you mentioned? When there’s no action, it really tests one’s character; I often can’t help but make random moves. I am very familiar with the frequent operation trap; it’s a lesson learned the hard way, brother. Peeking out and then wanting to retract again, this sense of rhythm is indeed superb. Are you still following the Spring Festival themes even though they’ve expired? Where are the new hot spots? Observing and waiting to strike sounds simple, but I forget everything when my hands itch. In fact, the problem is that most people lack this composure; I’m one of those who frequently makes moves. The moments when there’s actually a catch are really rare; most of the time, I’m just wasting bullets. This wave of market movement does have some substance, but it’s probably not time to cast the rod yet. Understanding this sense of rhythm is the real way to make money.

There are fish before casting the rod, I'm tired of hearing that haha Wait, is there really fish now? This wave of rhythm is indeed amazing People who operate frequently have long gone bankrupt By the way, is there still a story in Chinese narration? I'm also observing, observing, and observing But this kind of resolve is really difficult I can't see where the fish are This round of the market chart is indeed a bit interesting Waiting for the next confirmed opportunity Holding the position for so long and still not taking action? Precise grasp? Why did I only make a little bit of fragmented profit

Only fish will bite the hook. I've heard this theory countless times, haha. Wait, can Chinese narratives still be hyped now? No problem, frequent trading is indeed the Achilles' heel of retail investors. Me too, in idle mode... waiting for that one punch to smash through. Observing and waiting, I deeply understand not rushing to jump on the bandwagon.

Only fish will bite the hook, I've heard this a hundred times haha Is it true that this time you're planning to make a big move? What about those people who frequently operate now? Looking forward to your upcoming rhythm That's why some people make money while others lose money Wait, wait, can we really wait it out in the end?

Everyone currently selling is cutting losses, I am still waiting for the fish to come. I'm tired of that frequent operation routine; it's just a trap set for the retail investors. The Spring Festival theme is dead, political narratives are the real fish. If you have the guts, follow and buy the dip. Many people get anxious when they see me inactive. Haha, when there's an opportunity, you all would have already left. Observe, wait, and act—these are the three steps most people can't learn. It doesn't matter whether I retreat from the market or not; anyway, if the fish don't come, I won't move. This market is just cutting irrational people; I only make smart money.

tbh the "only fish when the water's right" thing is governance primitives applied to market timing, arguably... selective activation beats constant noise, non-trivial distinction tho. path dependency on execution matters more than narrative tracking imo.

Buy the fish and cast the line; no fish, then lie flat. This sense of rhythm is indeed worth learning. Those who operate frequently lose the fastest, while those who can endure see the clearest. Chinese narrative has some interesting points; let's see how the follow-up hype develops. People who are clear-headed about the market are all waiting; those in a hurry have already been liquidated. This wave of hot spots rotates very quickly; if you can't keep up, you're more likely to get cut. Honestly, frequent trading is really a killer for retail investors; I've also taken a hit. Some hot spots are past their prime but still chased; isn't that just taking over the position? Only act when conditions are right. It sounds simple but is actually the hardest to do. The market kills people every day; only those who can wait survive longer. Remain as steady as a mountain, move like thunder—that's the way to stay alive.

Only fish will cast the rod, this saying is indeed getting tired haha --- Starting to look at the market again, rhythm is really important, just worried that the waiting time is too long --- That set of frequent operations is truly the standard for rookies, I agree with that --- Is there still popularity for Chinese narrative now? It feels like the heat has long dissipated --- Easier said than done, how many can truly wait it out --- Just observe, haven't seen an opportunity in half a year, that's also common, right? --- Good grief, they're starting to talk about "only fish will cast the rod" again, really haven't been brainwashed, everyone --- This idea sounds fine, but when it comes to implementation, it always falls a bit short
