Most investors starts stock trading to make a profit, but during actual operations, many investors may gradually shift their focus to breaking even.

However, the stock market doesn’t always go as planned, especially when facing market corrections or personal operational mistakes, which may lead to losses.

For example, for tigers who bought $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ at $140, breaking even is still the main goal despite recent rebound.

The mindset of trying to break even often influences investors' decisions, possibly leading them to adopt more conservative strategies or engage in frequent trading during periods of loss in an attempt to quickly recoup their losses.

For example, some tigers bought the put options when the stock plunged and incurred more losses.

On the other hand, some seasoned investors are able to remain calm in the face of losses, continuing to aim for profits by adjusting their strategies and seeking new opportunities in the market.

    I aim to make money. However if I have been holding a particular stock for a while already and I do not see it turning around, then I might choose to break even. I might have to do a series of trades to achieve this break even but this is still not my preferred strategy as there is trading fees involved and time to look at the market.

    I'm drowning in cash and have nowhere to spend it. My super yacht is probably getting dusty, and those properties around the world are just collecting keys. Investing with Tiger Brokers is just a hobby to pass the time, using my spare change.
