Many investors, especially beginners, tend to make numerous mistakes in the stock market.

During the "beginner's luck" phase, they may make some money and become overconfident, attempting more aggressive strategies or chasing hype stocks (like meme stocks), only to end up losing more than they gained.

Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's late partner, once remarked, "There are no value investors under the age of 40."

The image features a person standing on a steep rocky path, overlooking a scenic financial city skyline at sunrise, symbolizing hope and progress. The path has signs of lessons learned: a broken piggy bank, a risky stock chart with steep drops, and a ladder of success rising ahead. Above, bold text reads: 'Growth Comes Through Experience' in modern, clean typography. The color palette is warm with golden hues of the sunrise blending with cool blues of the cityscape.A motivational poster for learning investing, showing a symbolic journey of growth.

One tiger echoed this sentiment, saying that investing is akin to playing late-game heroes in League of Legends.

Such heroes require a long period of cautious development before they can achieve good results. If you're overly aggressive early on, you risk being defeated by opponents. In the stock market, this equates to losing your capital.

There's a saying: "All awakenings are awakenings to the cost, not the goal." This implies that people don't grow simply because they are more committed to their goals but because they are forced to confront the pain of their mistakes and the cost of failure.

What’s your take on this perspective?

Do people have to go through painful lessons or accumulate sufficient experience to truly learn how to invest?

Do you have similar experiences?

    Education is merely head knowledge and experience is accumulated from application. Be it knowledge acquired from winners and losses from trading or investing, one needs to explore to discover the various strategies that suits his or her personality according to their seasonality in life.


    Until we’ve truly master risk management (when to cut loss), position sizing (scaling in & out of a trade) and trading psychology (patience, consistency & discipline), then profits will come our way with much hardwork and sacrifices.


    A successful trader is like running a business, always seeking ways to refine their skills in order to win big and lose small. Without losing, we can never learn the sweet success of our labour. There is no shortcut in trading. Always start small, dream big and build deep. @CaptainTiger @Andreana @jace0777 @koolgal @SPACE ROCKET @Terra Incognita @Mathematical Money @Bonta @Aqa

    Investment is like a marathon. We need to practice regularly and stay updated with the latest information. Before you start trading, you should figure out your strengths and weaknesses. I prefer to start trading in sectors that I understand and then work on improving my weaknesses.

    Definitely. It’s not just about head knowledge but putting the knowledge into practice. As long as there is practice, losing money is inevitable. However, it is more important to be able to learn from the mistake and become better. @Wayneqq @SR050321 @Success88 @Kaixiang @DiAngel @rL @SPOT_ON @HelenJanet @Fenger1188 @Universe宇宙 come join

    I'm living proof of the statement 🤣"No Pain No Gains" ... if one Don't know how to lose money, one won't learned how hard it's to make back the money 😢... Trading or Investing is a Journey 💗. I prefer to Lose Money 💰 First, then one can Appreciate that it takes Self Discipline, Knowledge and Skills to make back the loses , & turn it into Profits, thereafter aim to continuously sustain the Profits [Surprised]. I'm still learning everyday from the Tigers community and other resources [serious]. Current 2024 is definitely 😁 better than 2023 💪 Looking forward to close 2024 with positive results [Wow]
