I think “interest” or “like” is the first condition for ordinary people to do difficult things well. As mortals, we are always disturbed by emotions and desires. If we don’t have “interest” as the guide and motivation, we can’t stick to one direction.
Many investors think that they like stock investment or that they are interested in stocks. In my opinion, most people are only interested in money, not in stock investment. So they are destined to be difficult to go far in the stock market.
What does it mean to be interested? What is like?
1 mild like
It is to enjoy the process of doing this, not the result.
I saw some people whose winning rate in chess was only 30%, lost more than 6,000 games but still challenged online every day. Such a person must like to play chess. Because he doesn’t care much about winning or losing. But he didn’t like it too much.

Not only enjoy the process, but don’t care about the immediate results. And willing to bear the corresponding long-term, greater pain.
If he can often study chess records, often watch the games of masters, spend huge sums of money to buy books and study, and reflect on his problems in playing chess all the year round, then this person 100% likes playing chess very much. He is a chess idiot. Because he has to go through a lot of difficulties and even pains in the learning process, he can eat like a candy, which is definitely 100% interested in playing chess. Of course, such a person’s winning rate in chess is absolutely impossible to be 30%, at least it will be around 50%. Among them, those with talent will have a winning rate of 70% or even 90% or more!
Most stockholders don’t even have a slight liking for stock investment. Some stockholders quit the stock market after losing money several times. Obviously, he is very concerned about the results of his current investment, and he doesn’t like the process of making money in the stock market. Some stockholders originally speculated in stocks, but later saw that futures, spot stocks, virtual currencies, and being an Internet anchor are more profitable, so they left the stock market and turned to invest in other things. After all, what they like is the result of making money, not the process of stock investment.
Some investors are in a state of “slight liking” for stocks. These people have been in a state of loss in the stock market for ten or twenty years, but they still insist on continuing to invest. Many of my friends are in this “mild liking” state. I have insisted on watching the market every day for ten or twenty years, but it is only limited to watching the market, and has not done further research on stock market investment.
I am a “heavily fond” of stock investment. When I was young, I put a lot of effort into stock investment. I have learned a lot of investment knowledge by myself, and I have to take notes every day to reflect on my own problems, and then invest money in the stock market to verify. Spend tens of yuan and travel hundreds of miles to buy an investment book, often just for a paragraph or a page in it. Only a “stock idiot” like me can easily bear the fatigue and pain in studying and thinking.
There are very few people who like stock investment as much as I do. Even the vast majority of securities practitioners do not like stock investment as much as I do. If they were given a monthly salary of one or two thousand yuan, most of them would consider leaving their jobs and changing careers. And I would gladly accept such a low salary. Because I really like investing and love this industry.
2. “Interest” is only the foundation, if you want to go far, you need to be “good at”.
Although I liked stock investment very much when I was young, I didn’t know if I was suitable for this industry. One year in particular, I had gray hair on my temples overnight due to serious losses. I thought at the time: “Am I really suitable for stock investment? Should I learn a skill to make a living? Even learning to repair bicycles.”
Generally speaking, no one can know in advance whether they are good at something or not. Only after you have invested in it for a period of time can you really know whether you are good at it. I know from playing chess and investing that you can only know if you are good at it after years of systematic study.
The vast majority of our stockholders do not spend too much learning time on stock investment because they are not very fond of stock investment, so they will never really know whether they are good at stock investment.
Theoretically speaking, people who are suitable for stock investment must have factors such as being very rational, fond of deep thinking, and independent. But the vast majority of people will think that they are “very rational”, “think deeply”, and “have their own opinions”. This judgment is too subjective to apply. Therefore, it is impossible for us to see whether a person is suitable for stock investment when he has just invested.
Generally, you have to experience at least ten years of stock market training before you can know whether you are suitable for stock investment. After more than ten years of experience in the stock market, compare your investment income with other people who invest in stocks. If your performance for many years can exceed more than 80% of the people, then you must belong to the family suitable for stock investment. That is to say, it usually takes more than ten years or even twenty years for people to really know whether they are good at stock investment. Therefore, if you want to become a professional stock investor or make a living with stocks, you must be very cautious, because it may delay us ten years. Twenty years of precious time.
For most stock investors, my advice is to invest a small amount and treat it as a hobby first. When you have more than ten years of investment experience and have obtained relatively stable stock investment returns, you should consider increasing investment or turning to professional investment.
