It has not been thirty years since the establishment of the Chinese stock market. I am afraid there are not many people who say they have made a living by stock trading all their lives. Most of the old investors back then have withdrawn from the market. Moreover, in the past few decades, the stock market has basically been bullish and bearish, and there are no cash dividends. Retail investors can only make money by gambling in the secondary market. Therefore, we think it is "silly and naive" to act as professional investors.

Some people may object that I made a lot of money in this short squeeze. If I step on the correct band of the stock market every time, can't investors become more professional? In fact, if you are in the U.S. stock market and the U.S. stock market has been rising for 10 consecutive years, if you directly hand over your money to a fund management company and let the institution manage your wealth, you will definitely make a lot of money, and you will not need to regard stock trading as a career. Frequent trading and exchanging shares in the A-share market are taboos for retail investors. Even if they succeed ten times, as long as there is one mistake, all the previous floating profits will be wiped out.

Therefore, there is no long-term slow bull market in the A-share market, and most listed companies do not have the habit of paying cash dividends to investors. If you are a professional stock investor, it will be difficult to survive in the secondary market. . Otherwise, why did Yang Wanwan, the stock god of the past, and Li Daxiao, the current Internet celebrity stock reviewer, never come to the secondary market to speculate in stocks?

Yang Wanwan now makes money through stock courses and publishing books. His son went to sell stock software. Li Daxiao, on the other hand, relies on shouting "duo" every day to attract people's attention. This is because everyone who has been there knows that it is too difficult to play in the secondary market of the stock market, and it is not as good as doing some business and business related to the stock market. For any new investor who wants to rely on the stock market for his entire life, he might as well find a job and do it well instead of wasting precious youth and time.

Of course, there are people who live their whole lives on the stock market, but these are not stock investors, but investors with large funds. For example, Xu Xiang, the private stock god, set up a private equity fund to speculate in stocks on behalf of his clients. He holds billions or billions in his hands. He controls several stocks and uses inside information and financial advantages to control the stock prices of individual stocks. First, he plans at the bottom. , and then released good news, and then quickly raised the stock index. Due to the profit-making effect, retail investors began to follow up in large numbers. Xu Xiang's private equity fund calmly exited after making a lot of money.

In addition, there are also long-term value investors like Buffett who select a few undervalued stocks and hold them for a long time, at least for several years, until their value is fully exploited by the market. Choose to leave. Long-term value investors can indeed achieve amazing yields. But the problem is that value investors do not advocate frequent short-term speculation. Moreover, after value investors buy stocks, they go about their business. There is no need to be a professional stock investor, and there is no need to hang out in the stock market every day for the rest of their lives.

It is worth mentioning that there are also a group of people in the stock market who are engaged in PE. They make sudden investments in new stocks a few years before they are listed. After the new stocks are listed, they can make a lot of money. When the new stock lifting period comes, they can reduce their holdings at a high level. Since the holding cost of these people in the primary and a half market is very low, they can make a steady profit in the A-share market. But they are not professional investors in the secondary market, they are large and small.

To live by stock trading for a lifetime is a luxury for ordinary investors, because you neither have large funds nor inside information, nor can you suddenly buy new stocks before they are listed, and the long-term value Investment simply cannot achieve the level of staying away from the stock market. And if you look at gaming in the secondary market alone, it is too difficult to make money in the stock market. It is better to find a down-to-earth job. The stock market is only a part of your life and cannot bear all the reliance of investors.

First of all, people who can regard stock trading as a lifelong career will definitely have very strong technical analysis capabilities and their own trading system. Among many stocks, they can select profitable stocks with a high probability. For stocks, set a strict stop-profit and stop-loss system.

Secondly, people who are lifelong stock traders will also have a strong sense of discipline. There is no aggressive pursuit of gains and losses, and there is no so-called long-term trading strategy. They basically follow the trend and invest in full positions in bull markets. , do half position rolling in bear market (this is all based on first-class masters).

Finally, people who are lifelong stock traders have a very broad range of knowledge. They have a clear understanding of all walks of life, hot spots, and capital trends. The general trend of the market and the interpretation of policies are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Going deeper, you can clearly understand the likely direction of the market at any time.

In short, there is no god who can make 100% profit. Those who can win in the stock market are those who win more and lose less.

When it comes to this issue, I think I have the best say, because I am a basic professional investor. In fact, I have done many jobs before, including working in public institutions and doing business. I have basically been involved in various industries. But I still like this kind of life with relatively loose time and carefree life. During the 5178 bull market, because the market was so good that it was far easier for me to make money in the real world, so I gave up the real world completely. Now it seems that it was actually quite wrong, because in the subsequent stock market crashes, 1.02.0 and 3.0, my losses were indeed relatively large. But I am a person who refuses to admit defeat. Wherever I fall, I get up again. I must pull him away and take mine back. The meltdown was the most serious loss I suffered, and it was also because of the meltdown that I was seriously injured.

However, I still persisted after that, because I understood a truth: in all walks of life, only those who persist to the end can survive. For those who really want to trade in stocks, you must regard stocks as half of your life. Absorb all kinds of financial information 24 hours a day, and always observe changes in the market during your working hours. Of course you also need to have some talent. I have said this in many of my previous comments. Only by doing this can you truly survive in this market. Fortunately, after long-term persistence, I finally got off the Internet, and my monthly profit was basically around 10%. I'm talking about the bear market. If the market is good, it can basically reach 30~40%. No matter how good the market is, it is no problem to double it, especially the market trend after the Spring Festival. Last year, I established my own securities studio and worked together with a few good friends. Securities companies provide services to many people who want to enter this market and have the ability to enter the market. It takes a lot of courage to make stock trading your career. It also requires a long period of training and verification.

This type of person should have four major conditions: rich financial knowledge, regular and self-disciplined life, independent thinking, and a strong heart.

Although there are no people around who make a living from stock trading, people who can make a living from stock trading should be independent from the general public. After all, the general public loses seven times, loses two, draws and wins, and it is difficult to make a living from stock trading.

In fact, people who make a living from investing do not necessarily have to speculate in stocks. They can also keep an eye on the market every day, and they can also invest in value. For example, Buffett has not held more than 50 stocks in his life. In other words, in the field of investment, it is not that the longer you keep an eye on the market, the more money you will make. Instead, you have rich financial knowledge, screen out stocks with growth potential, buy two or three growth stocks and hold them for a long time, and you can make a living from it. .

For example, Kweichow Moutai had a negative value before its restoration in 2007. If the dividends were reinvested, it would not have increased many times by now, but it would have been zero cost and there would be extra Dividend income, and the time required is only more than ten years.

So besides Kweichow Moutai, is there anything else? In fact, if you look at it, there are still quite a lot of them. For example, Grecome Wuliangye, etc., all had negative values ??before they were restored. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is only speculation and no investment in A-shares.

The reason why Buffett became a stock god and once became the richest man in the world by buying stocks is not because he watches the market every day, picks stocks every day, and operates every day...but because he has a good character and a strong heart. , independent thinking, and rich financial knowledge.

On the contrary, those who watch the market every day, select stocks every day, and operate every day, or even those who want to get rich overnight through pure technical analysis, usually end up with heavy losses and debts. So can it be said that cleverness can lead to mistakes? Maybe, maybe not. Because many people make money by trading stocks through technical analysis, eat, drink and spend money, and eat instant noodles after losing money. They do not regard buying and selling stocks as investment, but regard stock trading as a kind of gambling.

For this reason, if buying and selling stocks is not based on your own cultivation and rich financial knowledge, it is extremely difficult to make a living from it. Young people who have just entered society should first consider themselves and be cautious, and do not regard buying and selling stocks as gambling.

I think people who live by stock trading all their lives are the following two types of people:

1. People who are like dreamers almost like the people who buy lottery tickets, pinning their hopes on lottery stocks overnight Get rich suddenly, but you don’t know that what you get out of it is far more than what you get.

2. Institutional trader, securities center trader, there is no way his job is just this, he will do this all his life and make a living based on his skills.

Suggestion: There is no so-called shortcut in life. What you see may not be real. You don’t know what resources and backgrounds behind others and how much effort they have put into it. Stock trading can be used as a form of investment, but you must not risk your wealth and life to make a living. There are many people who are better than you and better than you. Don't think that you are very smart and have the ability to make big money in it.

Of course those who make a living from stock trading are powerful characters. To make a living from stock trading, you must first make stable profits in the stock market. This alone makes you better than the vast majority of investors.

For example, the stock god Buffett makes a living by stock trading. He has accumulated a lot of wealth in the stock market throughout his life. If you want to make a living from stock trading, you must first have a stable profit system, because all your consumption in life must be earned from the stock market, which is a big expense. Even if ordinary people can make money in the stock market, they would not dare to rely on stock trading. Because the stock market is uncertain, it is too risky to make a living from this.

The average investor has a job, and stock trading is just to earn extra income, so that he can be comfortable. To make a living from stock trading, you not only need skills and a stable profit-making system, but also a large amount of capital. If the principal is too small, even if you double or triple it every year, it won't be enough to cover your living expenses. Because your living expenses are paid for by making money from the stock market, so the speed of making money in the stock market cannot match your living expenses, then your funds in the stock market will only become less and less. Therefore, ordinary people do not have a stable profit system and do not have enough funds. , remember not to make a living by stock trading.

Sufficient principal is very important. Even if you have a stable profit system, you still need to have more than one or two million in capital. Otherwise, it is not recommended to make a living by stock trading.

I guess you are a professional investor! If it is a lifelong matter, it cannot be summed up in fried words. There is such an industry called the financial industry, which is subdivided into three major sectors: banking, insurance, and securities. Practitioners in this industry are more or less related to stocks. The mainstream elites in this industry are the typical three-high people with high academic qualifications, high intelligence, high financial quotient. Many foreign and domestic movies have described this group of people! Many of the contents of the foreign "Wall Street", "The Big Short" and "The Wolf of Wall Street" and the domestic "Overheard 2" are true reflections of the industry!

In fact, stock trading can be regarded as a profession. It is just a technical job that seems to have a low threshold but is actually very difficult. Its greatest charm is that once successful, it will achieve a counterattack in life. The results show that only 1/10 people can do this. In fact, the proportion of people who do well in all walks of life is almost the same. If you are sure that you are an outstanding person, it is better to join the stock market, because you will develop into an elite wherever you go. The space for the stock market is obviously broader.

I am 23 years old and have been in the market for more than a year. Now I work in a central enterprise because I am not too busy at work, so I have the opportunity to look at stocks. They say that in the stock market, there are 7 losses, 2 draws and 1 profit. Which one makes me? Yes, I used leverage because I didn’t have much capital, but I don’t recommend it to everyone. I met a noble person who taught me some skills and because I also like stock trading, I read a lot of books and insisted on reviewing the market every day, so Only then can you gain something. If you come here with the mentality of trying to turn your bicycle into a motorcycle, then I can only say that you will not even have shoes left. Five points of stock trading skills are three points of diligence and two points of talent, so don’t think about gambling< /p>

Your question may refer to people who live a professional stock trading life. I mentioned something like this in a Q&A. I have a friend, her neighbor, who is a professional stock trader. I don’t know exactly when they started. They separated after the house was demolished. However, they interact with each other every Spring Festival, and they usually do it. Contact via WeChat.

The year before last, the second-hand house she bought was demolished again. While she was waiting for the house to be built, she gave the money for the house to be renovated to her friend to help her speculate, opened an account by herself, and kept the fund password by herself. Give him the account and trading password, and she can also check the rise and fall through the account.

From what she said, he had several relatives who helped him get fired in the same way. Last year, he helped her earn more than 200,000 yuan. And he bought his own car and several houses.

This is a true story from my friends. There are indeed many stock market heroes, but they just don’t have the opportunity to learn.

The threshold for stock trading is very low. You can open an account online with a mobile phone, and you can buy and sell stocks with three thousand or five thousand. It is very difficult for retail investors to make money. After going through the bear market, bull market, and monkey market, you may be able to make money. , but most are losing money.

Most people who trade stocks professionally have a source of income. In some couples, the other partner has a stable income and can protect their living expenses.

Some people have a lot of property at home and rent it out.

Some people do freelance work and make money in their spare time.

Of course after many years, after making money in the stock market, they stopped doing other things.
