Chapter 4 Chapter 4 "Let's wait for work" and remedial failure

"A wise man is bound to make a mistake if he thinks a lot." Experts in stock investment know that the stock market often has a sudden turmoil when it is calm, which catches investors by surprise and leads to heavy losses.Therefore, stock investors must be psychologically prepared to take risks.As the saying goes: "If you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet." For stock investors who enter the market, temporary losses are inevitable in stock investment.If the shoes are wet, you can wear them again after drying them; however, you cannot wear them out after losing money, but you can still find ways to earn them back.

When stock investors buy a certain stock in the market, of course they hope that the operating conditions of the issuing company of this stock can be better than in previous years, so that they can get more dividends; or they hope that the price of this stock can rise rapidly so that Throw it at an appropriate price to obtain a larger profit.No investor buys stocks with the hope of losing money.However, the operating status of the joint-stock company and changes in stock market prices are not affected by the will of individual investors, and often change in the opposite direction to the wishes of investors.How to deal with this situation?There is a very simple way to remedy the disappointment of expectations, which is called "set aside".The so-called "shelving and ignoring" means that when the stock price does not rise as you expected, but goes in the opposite direction, you simply lock the stock in the safe temporarily and wait for the stock price to rise in peace.Generally speaking, as long as the stock in hand is not bought at a high price, and the operating conditions of the stock issuing company are relatively optimistic in the long run, then the stock price may still rise.Adopting this simple method of operation will either make you a huge success in the future, or it will make you lose a lot in the future.Therefore, when friends adopt this method of operation, there are several things that need everyone's attention.

First of all, you have to consider the proportion of the funds invested in this kind of stock in your total assets.Because the "set it aside" approach is really an all-or-nothing approach.Therefore, if the funds invested in this stock account for an excessively large proportion of all assets, for example, if it reaches above, you will run the risk of going bankrupt. Obviously, this is not worthwhile; Small, if it is less than 5%, even if the stock is worthless in the future, it will not hurt your vitality. If this is the case, it might as well give it a try. Secondly, you have to bear huge psychological pressure for a long period of time, and watch the stock price plummet again and again while the parties ignore it. This is not something that everyone can do.Therefore, if you are a person with weak will and little psychological tolerance for risks, then you'd better not choose this method of operation, otherwise it is not worthwhile to be restless and unable to sleep at night.

Again, whether doing so will affect your liquidity needs.Anyone always has some cash or bank balance on hand to maintain the necessary ability to pay.For example, in order to ensure the needs of normal life, you always need some cash on hand to buy daily necessities; if you want to continue to make a difference in stock investment, you should always prepare some deposits so that you can buy the right stocks at the right price .Therefore, if you adopt this method and lead to a large amount of capital precipitation, and thus lose the necessary liquidity, it is not worth the candle. Finally, you have to consider the long-term prospects of the issuing company in which you hold shares.It doesn't make any sense to take this approach if you think the company is going out of business anytime soon.

If you have thought about it carefully and think that you can deal with all of the above contingencies, then you can boldly use this method. If the timing is favorable and used properly, it will give you the effect of "doing more with less" and "waiting for work with ease" ". "Wait for work with leisure" is the fourth strategy in the first set of victory strategies in "Thirty-Six Strategies". "When the enemy is trapped, if you don't fight, you will lose strength and gain softness." It is said in "Thirty-Six Strategies".It means to block the offensive of a strong enemy, there is no need to directly adopt combat methods, because rigidity and softness, strength and weakness can be transformed into each other, so active defense, gradual consumption, and exhaustion of the enemy army can turn a strong enemy army into a weak one. , the passive side will become active.What is important is to be able to take the initiative to grasp the development trend of the war, make the best use of the situation, and strike late.It is necessary to be able to use fewer enemies and many, to respond to changes with the same, and to respond to major changes with small changes... In short, firmly grasp the initiative in the war, actively control the development of the situation, and wait for the enemy's spirit to be exhausted, then you will be able to win the battle. .

Sun Tzu said: "In military affairs, treat near to far, and ease to work." That is to say, in tactics, one should be in the active position first to deal with the enemy's attack.By extension, anyone who has made full preparations in advance and calmly dealt with external intrusions can "wait for work at leisure" no matter what happens.The principle of doing things is different from being a person. Doing things is today’s business. The higher the efficiency, the better; being a person, especially dealing with a complicated personnel problem, procrastination is a good way.Procrastination is not cowardice, nor is it shirking responsibility. It is a contingency measure to prevent one's will from being tempted by sudden events and keep oneself in the active position forever. This is the so-called "delay policy".On the negative side, it is to wait and see the changes of things to make the final decision; on the positive side, it is to try to make the other party exhausted, frustrate their spirit, and then wait for an opportunity to attack and make them slump.That is, as Sun Tzu said: "Hide under the nine grounds, move above the nine heavens."

When using this strategy, you must be calm and adaptable, estimate clearly the environment and intentions of yourself and the other party, as well as the strength between each other, and be alert to changes in things at any time. If the time is not ripe, you will not move like a mountain. To overwhelm the river. If this strategy is used properly, the weak can defeat the strong, and the few can win the many. There have been many major battles in history that reversed the situation because of the use of this strategy. The Qilu Long Spoon Battle is an example. The story takes place in the Spring and Autumn Period of our country.In 684 BC, Duke Huan of Qi worshiped Bao Shuya as a general, and led an army to attack the State of Lu, all the way to the Changshao area.

Qi was strong and Lu was weak, and the Lu army had just suffered a defeat at the hands of the Qi army not long ago. In addition, there was no commander in the court who was capable of leading the army with both civil and military skills, so Duke Zhuang of Lu was very panicked.Fortunately, Minister Shi Bo recommended Cao GUI, a hermit, for him, saying that he had the talent of a general. Duke Zhuang of Lu immediately sent Shi Bo to invite Cao GUI. When the two came to see Duke Zhuang of Lu, Duke Zhuang asked Cao GUI: "What can you do to resist the Qi army's invasion?" Cao GUI replied: "The situation of the war is unpredictable, and it cannot be judged by subjective guesswork." In conclusion, if you can give me a chance to join the army, then I can adapt to the situation and try to win." Zhuang Gong saw that what he said was reasonable, so he made him a general, and Lu Zhuanggong also went out with the army and led the troops together. long spoon.

In ancient times, wars were conducted with flags, gold (sounders like gongs), and drums.The general's banner commands the whole army, and the flags of different colors command the various parts of the army.The golden drum tube advances and retreats, the drums are beaten to charge, and the golden drum is called to retreat.Generally, three-way drums are played in charge and battle, and each drum is three hundred and thirty-three hammers.General Bao Shuya of the State of Qi relied on his own strength and horses; in addition, he had defeated the Lu army before, so he had the intention of underestimating the enemy. He ordered his men to beat the first drum, and the Qi army rushed towards the Lu army like a tide.

When Lu Zhuanggong saw the enemy attacking, he also ordered to beat the drums to counterattack. Cao GUI hurriedly stopped him: "Now that the army is in full swing, our army can only wait in full force, and it is not time to counterattack." In this way, the Qi army attacked twice in a row. Due to the strong lineup of the Lu army, the Qi army could not succeed. When the third drum was played, everyone felt tired and discouraged, and could no longer charge forward.At this time, Cao GUI said to Duke Zhuang of Lu: "Now you can order to beat the drums and counterattack." As soon as the drums sounded, the soldiers of Lu rushed forward bravely.Zhuang Zhenggong wanted to order to take advantage of the victory, but was stopped by Cao GUI.He got out of the car and carefully checked the traces of chariots and horses left by the Qi army on the ground, and then got in the car to look far away for a while, and then said to Zhuang Gong, "Please order the pursuit!" The Lu army chased and killed them for thirty miles. , The Qi army was defeated and had to flee back to the country.

After the war, Duke Zhuang of Lu asked Cao GUI about the reason for his victory. Cao GUI said: "Fighting depends on courage. The Qi army's morale is high when they attack with a drum. If our army launches a counterattack at this time, we will definitely suffer. When the drums attacked, their morale declined a bit, but it was not the time for our army to counterattack. When the drums were attacked for the third time, the courage of the Qi army was cast. At this time, our army is waiting for work and morale is booming. So we were able to break through the camp of the Qi army in one go." Zhuang Gong asked again, "But why didn't you take advantage of the victory and pursue it immediately?" Cao GUI said, "Qi is a big country with strong troops and good tactics. When they retreat, I'm afraid they will be False defeat, so I advise you not to pursue immediately. I saw the ruts they left behind, and saw their flags staggering; from these signs of confusion, I judged that they were really retreating, so I suggested You order the pursuit." Zuo Zhuanggong admired Cao GUI very much for these words. Through this ancient battle example, we can see that the most critical point in using this strategy is "stability".Those who use this strategy must have the courage to stay calm and not change color before the landslide. Those who can do it can be called great wisdom and courage.As a Western financial tycoon said: "A great thinker in ancient China left a word that is very useful for today's stock market, which is 'stable'." The financier pointed out that in order to achieve success in today's stock market, The word "stability" is needed. Without stability, there will be no general demeanor, let alone getting rich. Apply the essence of ancient Chinese traditions to stock management skills most appropriately, and integrate them well.The Japanese who are good at grasping this aspect are regarded as "commercial animals". The shrewd and powerful Japanese are known for their "steadiness" in the international stock market. In 1987, there was a big turmoil in the international stock market. Within a week, the wealth lost due to the stock market crash reached as much as 2 trillion US dollars, and the international stock market was in a panic.The Tokyo stock market in Japan also experienced panic.However, in the midst of the panic, because many Japanese stock brokers had already prepared for it, Japanese businessmen suffered the least losses in this wave, which was almost negligible compared to their European and American counterparts.For example, there was a Japanese stock speculator who lost $1 million in a few hours, but won another $700,000 thanks to his real estate business.It must be a miracle for a boss with billions of assets to lose only $300,000 in such a huge stock market drop. There are many stock speculators with "stable" qualities in Japan.According to a survey conducted by the International Monetary Fund on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, 73.5% of Japanese securities dealers have been influenced by traditional Chinese culture and often participate in various temple fairs. Among them, more than 90% of these people think that Stock management is the best portrayal of life, and it emphasizes prudence and stability, and wins with the word "stable". At present, the Japanese stock market, one of the important strongholds of the international stock market, is gradually playing an important stabilizing role in the international stock market.This is not only related to the operating characteristics of Japanese securities dealers, but also directly related to the Japanese character of "playing steadily and steadily". At present, the Tokyo stock market has jumped to the second place in the world stock market, second only to the New York stock market in the United States.It is particularly worth mentioning that the Japanese stock market is backed by Japan, the largest creditor country in the world. It is conceivable what role the Japanese stock market will play in the future world economy.In this regard, stockholders will naturally come to a consistent conclusion, that is to replace the United States and become the superpower in the international stock market.The Japanese stock market, starting from the ruins of the failure of the Second World War, has achieved such brilliant achievements in only forty years, which should be attributed to a large extent to the secret of many Japanese stock investors. to win. Stock investors, waiting for work with leisure and winning while steady is an invention of our Chinese. If you use your brains and absorb similar nutrients from our traditional culture, you will surely achieve more brilliant achievements than the Japanese.
