In the late 1980s, the Shenyang securities market opened, and the Northern Securities Company was founded. At that time, my dad was still young, naive, and dreaming of becoming a small stock investor after marrying my mom.
In the early 1990s, securities brokerage departments sprouted up all over Northeast China. My dad, with his slender figure, shuttled freely among the bustling stock investors, but also suffered from secondhand smoke.
Occasionally, my dad took me along, tightly holding my little hand, focusing intently on the television screen covered with red and green lines. The brokerage department was noisy, hot, and crowded, making me feel like I would suffocate.
In my memory, my dad turned his head and said loudly, 'Let's take a quick look and then leave.' When the two of us finally squeezed out of the zombie-like crazy stock uncles, we both desperately breathed in the fresh air.
But at that time, I did not feel repelled by the murky business department. Instead, I always thought of myself as the youngest stockholder in there, quite remarkable.
Experiencing AMC's ups and downs starting from 10, and finally achieving a remarkable success, the first trading principle I learned was to keep a stable mindset and not panic.
