You've probably heard this saying — "The current environment is not good." But think about it carefully, is the environment the same for everyone? No. When your asset allocation is solid enough, no market environment can turn things around. The difference comes from choices.

True investors keep it simple: respect market laws, follow trend directions, identify quality assets, continuously improve their understanding, and then patiently wait. This is not just motivational talk; it’s a path repeatedly validated by data and history. In the upcoming market cycle, there are likely to be some landmark opportunities. The key is whether you're prepared. Choosing the right direction and holding steady are the core.

It sounds good, but there are very few who truly dare to increase their positions in a bear market.

That's right, almost every time there's a bear market, someone calls the environment bad, but if you're truly well-positioned, you just sit back and win. --- There are no secrets in asset allocation; it's about having the right mindset and holding firmly. Everything else is just superficial. --- Waiting for a big opportunity to jump in? It's better to do your homework now so you're not hesitant when the time comes. --- The proven methods are limited; frankly, it all comes down to trusting your own judgment. --- Every time, people say they're ready, but when a market wave hits, they still make reckless moves. The key is your mindset. --- Assets that you can't hold onto, no matter how good they are, are useless. This is the biggest test of human nature.

Solid asset allocation is indeed impressive, but why is it so difficult? It's easy to say, but when the opportunity comes, you'll realize you have no bullets left. Historical validation is bullshit; the next time is still the next time. I'll survive this one first and then decide. There are plenty of market opportunities now; it all depends on who can hold on without cutting losses. Waiting, waiting, but I haven't seen a big opportunity. Anyway, I just can't wait anymore.

That's right, it's a matter of choice. Everyone is just idling in the same market, so why is the gap so big? A bear market is the true test of strength; those without chips can only watch the excitement. Wait, the problem is that most people simply can't hold on; they start to daydream when they see paper gains. Asset allocation sounds easy, but in reality, not many people truly understand it. Whether you can seize the opportunity in the next cycle still depends half on cognition and half on luck. Ultimately, it's just waiting, but who can truly wait?

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but few people can truly endure the cycle. --- Solid asset allocation? Just listen, most people are just talking on paper. --- The key is to hold on. This is much easier said than done. --- Wait, I just want to ask one question—when a big opportunity comes, who can really go all in? --- Differences come from choices, but differences also come from principal capital haha. --- I'm currently eating dirt for not discerning quality assets. --- Market cycles? Bro, my cycle is from getting rich to zeroing out. --- You're right, but remember to remind me when the bottom comes next time. --- Those who can patiently wait are all becoming rich, the rest are rushing in. --- Following the trend is easy, but I'm afraid the trend will turn around and hit you.

According to behavioral finance research, there is indeed cognitive bias in the recognition of differences in market environments — but the problem here is that the article overlooks the variable of information acquisition costs. Data shows that 90% of retail investors are not lacking in "patience," but rather in a proper asset identification framework. From a technical perspective, "holding on" sounds simple, but in practice it involves three core dimensions: risk management, stop-loss settings, and position allocation. It is worth noting that historical data does not predict the future, and the identification of cyclical opportunities is itself a pseudo-proposition.
