The three major pitfalls for retail investors to lose money



1. Erratic operation
- Make a little profit and run, but hold on tight when losing.
- Frequent trading, just the transaction fees lose over 5%+
- Following the trend to buy popular stocks, getting trapped as soon as entering the market.

2. Retail investors cannot compete with institutions
- Institutions use AI and algorithms for front-running trades
- Market makers prioritize offering good prices to institutions
- Retail investors cannot handle tools like options and leverage.

3. Little money but greedy
- A principal of 100,000, yet wanting to double it in a year
- Institutions seek stability with 1 million, retail investors gamble their lives with 100,000
- It's hard for retail investors to diversify small funds; stepping on a landmine can result in significant losses.

Either learn professional methods, or invest honestly; otherwise, you are just giving away money.
