Value investor Duan Yongping reposted an investor's statement on Chinese platform Xueqiu on August 31, commenting: "How come it feels like you're trying to embolden yourself?"
The investor had written: "I will hold Laopu Gold for the long term! The more it falls, the more I buy! The more I can hold! Is this considered long-term holding?" Duan questioned the approach, implying it may be a form of self-reassurance.
Laopu Gold is a gold jewelry company that has recently drawn market attention due to stock price fluctuations. Duan, a well-known value investor, often influences market sentiment, but this comment neither endorses nor dismisses the company or the strategy.
As of publication, Duan has not provided further clarification.
