Hello, Tigers!In the last lesson, we learned three methods to find opportunities for profit during times of panic. I believe you've gained a lot from it. In this lesson, I will talk to you about three common traps in behavioral finance and how to avoid them, so you can win in long-term returns.1.Refuse emotional tradingThe first trap: Emotional trading.Emotional trading is one of the common trading pitfalls in behavioral finance.Simply put, emotional trading refers to irrational decisions made by investors in the face of market fluctuations due to emotions such as fear, greed, or anxiety. These decisions are often driven by emotions rather than rational thinking.Emotional trading can lead to many trading mistakes. For example, when the market is volatile, some people may hastily sell out o

Hello, Tigers!In the previous lesson, I introduced you to a new term: "anomaly," and explained to you the investment opportunities presented by two types of financial report anomalies. In today's lesson, we will continue to discuss a common term: "panic," and I will teach you three methods to profit from panic.1.How panic arisesHow does panic occur during trading? Based on what we've discussed in previous lessons, we can roughly summarize it into four reasons:(1) Herd MentalityInvestors are often influenced by other investors, leading to a herd effect. When sudden events or significant price fluctuations occur in the market, they may join the majority out of fear of missing out or fear of loss, resulting in excessive buying or selling, which can trigger market panic.(2) Loss AversionPeople

Hello Tigers!In the previous session, I introduced you to a practical behavioral finance strategy: the long-term reversal strategy, which essentially follows the principle of "what goes up for too long must come down, and what goes down for too long must go up." Now, in this lesson, I'll introduce a new concept: "anomaly," and explain the investment opportunities it presents.1.Anomaly factors in financial reportsFirst, let me explain what an "anomaly" is.An anomaly refers to abnormal phenomena that contradict the traditional finance theory of risk-return correspondence. In traditional finance theory, we are often "taught" that the higher the return, the greater the risk.However, behavioral finance has found that in practice, it's often possible to find strategies or methods to gain more pr

Hello Tigers!In the last lesson, we went through what risk aversion and loss aversion are, shedding light on the decision-making processes our brains undergo during investments. In this lesson, I will introduce some practical behavioral finance investment strategies.1.What are behavioral finance strategies?Behavioral finance strategies involve using investors' psychological biases and market inefficiencies to develop investment strategies. This means taking advantage of mispriced stocks before most investors realize their mistakes, investing in those that are either undervalued or overvalued. Once market prices return to a reasonable level, you close your positions promptly to make a profit.In simple terms, behavioral finance strategies are about profiting from people's mistakes.2.Three co

Hello Tigers!In the previous session, I covered the herd effect, elucidating the psychological foundations of speculative trading and herd investing. Now, in this lesson, I'll discuss leveraging behavioral finance to enhance investment choices and engage your rational thinking.1.What is irrational decision-making?Let's start by looking at a phenomenon. In the stock market, there are bull markets and bear markets, but many investors fail to make money in bull markets and end up losing big in bear markets. Why is that?Let's analyze it briefly:During bull markets, when stock prices generally rise, Tiger Friends are usually in a profitable state. However, many Tiger Friends often can't hold onto their stocks and tend to sell after a significant rise of 20-30%.In bear markets, when stock prices

Hello Tigers!In the last class, I used three investment scenarios to help you understand what behavioral finance is. You should have noticed that behavioral finance permeates all aspects of investment, constantly influencing our investment decisions.In this class, I will take you deeper into the classic theory of behavioral finance: "Cognitive Biases".What are cognitive biases?In simple terms, it implies that you're unable to perceive things accurately as you wish. If you're still unclear, I'll elaborate further with two sections below.1.Do you really understand a company?Let's first talk about a common cognitive bias: Do you really understand a company?Many will first get to know a company before making investment decisions. They believe that without a thorough understanding of a company,

Hello Tigers!In the second lesson, I took you through cognitive biases, helping you understand why we often make repeated mistakes in investing. In this lesson, we're going to delve into another crucial aspect affecting your investment gains and losses: market sentiment.I. Why Market Sentiment Influences Investment DecisionsTraditional finance theory holds that stock prices always reflect the underlying value of listed companies. But is this really the case?Investors who have put their money into stocks should be aware that in actual financial markets, stock prices frequently diverge significantly from the true value of the listed companies. This phenomenon is primarily driven by investor sentiment.Emotions are a dominant force affecting various aspects of our lives. Our decisions, conclus

Why do certain trading strategies yield profits? How can one avoid investment mistakes? And how to overcome erroneous psychological and emotional tendencies? How to achieve stable returns?In this class, I will vividly introduce to you what behavioral finance is through three lively trading scenarios.1.Every time you buy a certain stock, it starts to fall, but when you sell it, it rises again?Scenario 1:Whenever you invest in a particular stock, it seems to start falling continuously. However, when you sell that stock or prepare to buy another, it begins to ri

Hi Tigers!Since the launch of Treasuries products on the Tiger Trade app, many Tigers have been eager to purchase them. However, some still have questions during the purchase process. Today, I will address some frequently asked questions and tell you how to maximize the yield of Treasuries.1.Why do orders fail? - System cancels order Many Tigers encounter this system prompt when placing treasuries orders: "This bond order may not be able to achieve positive returns. It is recommended that you choose other bonds."Why does this prompt appear? The reason is that the system believes your order may result in a loss.Many Tigers might be puzzled. Aren't Treasuries "principal-protected" products with minimal risk? Why would there be a potential loss?First, consider a simple principle: before makin

Hello, Tigers!In the last lesson, we focused on the definition and categorization of bonds and learned about the five basic elements of bonds. In this lesson, I'll take you through: why you should invest in US treasuries and the risks of investing.In addition, I'll show you hands-on how to calculate the return on US treasuries.I. Why invest in US treasuriesMany Tigers may say that the returns on US treasuries are so low compared to assets like stocks and options that they don't feel attractive.It's certainly true that bonds seem less attractive when looking only at potential future returns.
