I came across a good analysis article, and its core appeal lies in not selling hope but giving you a wake-up slap.

Honestly, I gained a lot from reading it. But I have a slightly different opinion.

The so-called "crazy optimism" in many people's words is actually a false proposition. The real issue isn't optimism or pessimism, but whether you can see the reality clearly. Blind predictions are easy; the difficult part is finding genuine signals amid the market's various noises. Those viewpoints that stand the test of scrutiny often come from a deep understanding of market cycles, psychological games, and data—not just simple emotional drives.

Awareness is a hundred times more difficult than blind optimism. Signal-to-noise ratio is the key; most people simply can't tell the difference. That's the difference—between those who look at data and those who follow emotions. Being sober isn't valuable; those who can find true signals are truly scarce.

Well... there's nothing wrong with that, but I feel most people are still emotionally driven. --- I agree with the saying "signal vs noise," but the problem is most people can't tell the difference at all. --- Being optimistic or pessimistic doesn't mean much; clarity is what truly matters. --- Honestly, those who can hold their ground really understand the cycle, not just talking the talk. --- That hit me hard; I often get lost in the noise myself. --- So the key is to have your own thinking framework? --- Others' signals are often your noise; it depends on your skill level. --- Market psychology and game theory are the easiest to mess up; understanding is easy, doing is hard.

There's nothing wrong with that statement; the key is to have your own judgment, and not be led by emotions.

Hmm… that's why most people always get slapped in the face and keep repeating the same mistakes Those who can truly make money are never emotional traders; they've already found the signal amidst the noise

Haha, someone finally hit the nail on the head. Most people are still spinning in their emotions, unaware that the difference between signals and noise is the key to making money. It's true, but seeing reality clearly is easier said than done. Optimism and pessimism are just facades; the real skill is whether you can survive within the cycle. I deeply agree. True investors never rely on intuition; they depend on their sensitivity to data. Reality is too harsh, and this slap indeed hits hard. There are so many people making blind predictions, but very few have systematic thinking.

Yeah, this perspective really hits the point; reality is always much more complex than emotions. --- Exactly, the difference between nonsense and signals lies here. Most people simply can't tell the difference. --- Optimism and pessimism are just smokescreens; only those who can read the cycles are the winners. --- Finding signals in noise? It sounds simple, but in practice, it's hellishly difficult... --- Yes, this is the real test—do you truly understand what you're betting on? --- After going through a few cycles, you'll realize that emotionally driven opinions are basically garbage.
