Comparison Forms Cognition, Leading to the "Right" Choices
Spoiler: Join the discussion #Comparison forms cognition: What can Stock Compare bring us? and share your findings of the Stock Compare feature to win the adorable moomoo merchandise and rewarding points! ![]()
When you step into a mall to buy something, you may hear conflicting recommendations. You know what you need, but you haven't decided what to buy yet. Take buying clothes as an example. How do you know which one best suits you? Salesman A said, "My clothes are made of pure wool so that they are very comfortable." Salesman B objected and said, "No one would wear that clothes in such hot weather. Try mine on, and you will feel cool. Most importantly, this one is cheaper"... What would you do when you hear two completely different opinions? Most of us will make comparisons between the two. Before that, we need to select reference objects to establish criteria. Otherwise, how can we make optimal choices?
The same goes for picking stocks. Buffett once said that in investing, we buy companies, not stocks. If you don't have a steel scale in your mind, how do you know what is good and bad? After setting the baseline, we should know where to look. This is where moomoo's Stock Compare feature comes into play.

PlutoMoo102685100 : It really is all about comparison. Everything is relative. There is no such thing a Low or High PE. It is always Low/High compared to …(industry, historical, competitors, close competitors )
Team moomoo OP PlutoMoo102685100 : Indeed. Without comparison to help us generate a relatively correct “cognition”, we are not likely to see the whole thing in a big picture![[undefined]](https://static.moomoo.com/nnq/emoji/static/image/default/default-black.png?imageMogr2/thumbnail/36x36 "undefined")
