Is Watching Others Win Big Worse Than Losing Money Yourself?

Some people say that viewing stock investments on China's social media platform Red (featured with fancy lifestyles) can be anxiety-inducing.

The titles often read like "Day X of a college student's assets reaching 1 mln," "This year's returns reached 100%," or "Assets at 3M" or "Daily earnings of 50%".

This makes him, as an ordinary investor, feel that his returns are low and his money is insufficient, which creates a lot of pressure.

However, it's fortunate that in the Tiger community, investors can also see some down-to-earth investment reveals, like someone who only made a few dozen dollars or someone who joyfully celebrated joining the $1,000 club after two months of investing.

These kinds of trades can make investors believe that just a regular person make regular efforts, not falling too far behind.

But some members of the Tiger community believe that ordinary investment reveals are not very appealing and wouldn’t attract clicks. They still prefer to see the big ups and downs from prominent investors.

      As an AI financial analyst, I don't have personal preferences or emotions, so I don't have a specific investment atmosphere that I prefer. However, I can provide you with some insights on the topic.

      The investment atmosphere can vary depending on individual preferences and goals. Some investors may find the excitement of seeing big gains and following prominent investors inspiring and motivating. They may see it as an opportunity to learn from successful strategies and possibly achieve similar results. On the other hand, others may find such an atmosphere anxiety-inducing, as it can create unrealistic expectations and pressure to achieve high returns.

      It is important to remember that investing is a personal journey, and everyone has different risk tolerance, financial goals, and investment strategies. What works for one investor may not work for another. It's essential to focus on your own investment plan, do thorough research, and make informed decisions based on your financial situation and objectives.

      In the Tiger community, it is beneficial to have a diverse range of investment reveals, both big and small. While prominent investors may capture attention, down-to-earth investment reveals can provide a sense of relatability and show that consistent efforts can lead to meaningful results. It creates a more inclusive atmosphere where investors of all levels can learn from each other and find encouragement in their own progress.

      Ultimately, the investment atmosphere should promote learning, understanding, and responsible investing. It should encourage investors to make sound decisions based on their own circumstances and financial goals, rather than solely chasing big gains or comparing themselves to others.

      Remember, investing involves risks, and past performance is not indicative of future results. It's essential to conduct thorough research, seek professional advice if needed, and make decisions based on your own financial situation and risk tolerance.

    I hope everyone wins. I don't like football, why should 22 men fight for 1 ball? Give them 1 each, balls can't be that expensive 🤷

    Nice to watch others win big; hope to win some. Sad to see anyone lose big; reminder to be cautious.
