Many people think that the hardest part of stock trading is choosing stocks, but that's not true.

The hardest part is holding on.
Moutai, Ningde, BYD—almost everyone has bought them, but almost no one has held from the beginning to the end.
Why?
Because human nature has bugs.
A 5% unrealized loss causes panic, a 10% loss makes you doubt your logic, and two months of sideways movement leads to self-doubt.
Psychological studies show that the pain of loss is 2.5 times the pleasure of profit. This is not your problem; it’s a design flaw of the human brain.
A 20% gain makes you want to cash out to lock in profits, fearing a profit reversal.
As a result, you’re earning pocket money, while others are riding a once-in-a-generation market trend.
The most critical period is during sideways movement.
Weeks without growth, months of volatility—90% of people die during the silent period before the main upward wave arrives.
Humans need instant stimulation, but holding stocks is about delayed gratification.
Some people are too clever, always trying to buy low and sell high.
The result? They sell at the worst time and miss out for a lifetime.
The stock market is never a test of IQ; it’s a training ground for human nature.
Real big money isn’t made through trading; it’s made through steadfastness.
