My Investment Story: The Journey from Stock Market Crash to Stable Returns

Hello everyone! I am Hu Shuo Badao Yibu, and my investment journey began in 2019. At that time, I met a mentor named Alex, who benefited me greatly. He is a mentor at VI Colleges in Singapore. He taught me a phrase that I remember to this day: 'The best investment is in yourself.' Additionally, he helped me understand the importance of emotional stability in investments.
In early 2020, the global stock market plummeted due to the impact of the pandemic, marking the first real-life 'battle' on my investment journey. Losses were discouraging, but through continuous learning and strengthening my emotional management skills, I gradually found my pace, eventually stabilizing and reaping significant returns in the later phase. This experience made me realize that investment is not just about financial competition but also a test of psychological resilience.
Possibly due to being a Libra, my investment style tends to be conservative, but occasionally I take some small risks (which only account for less than 10% of my investment portfolio). I believe in diversified investments while insisting on investing only in areas I understand. My favorite strategy is the Recycle Capital Strategy, which not only reduces risks but also offers peace of mind. What's great is that I prefer long-term investments, so I don't have to watch the stock market every day and can live more relaxed!
Currently, I use Moomoo as my primary investment platform, which is the fourth platform I have used (previously used eToro, TD Ameritrade, and Tiger Brokers). I have a very good impression of Moomoo, especially after optimizing options trading. However, there is still room for improvement in the details of options trading, such as how to close a single options contract more conveniently. I look forward to seeing more improvements in the future!
During the investment process, my main sources of information are CNBC, Bloomberg, as well as websites like Seeking Alpha and Morning Star. Of course, it is crucial to analyze and verify the information obtained. As someone who works in shifts, although I work in Singapore, the time difference for trading US stocks does not greatly affect me because when the market opens at night, I might still be at work! 😂
Investing has taught me to grow and helped me understand the importance of controlling emotions and accumulating knowledge. I hope my experience can inspire you. If you are also on the investment journey, why not start by investing in yourself!
