Reward 500 Tiger-coinsYesterday, after a deep V-shaped reversal in the U.S. stock market, both bulls and bears were wiped out. But this time, you're no longer the same person who’s experiencing market volatility for the first time.
Do you remember how you got through the first big crash?
Every long-term investor may have a "deeply unforgettable" market drop hidden in their heart.
Perhaps it was that night when you stayed up watching the markets, and your account lost 30% in a single day;
Maybe it was that morning when you pressed the "sell" button for the first time, only to regret it afterward;
Or perhaps it was that day when you were feeling panicked but forced yourself to go to work as if nothing happened.
How did you comfort yourself back then?
Did you tell yourself, "It will bounce back in the long term"? Or did you quietly close your account and pretend nothing had happened? Looking back now, haven’t those moments also become turning points in your journey of growth?
In this recent downturn, what is the one thing you most want to tell yourself?
Having gone through the crash of 2022, this time during the downturn, I told myself: "Stick to the plan, be patient, and buy at the bottom."
Because last time, I almost went all in on $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ when it just started to drop, and my mindset collapsed as the decline continued.
This time, I made a buy-the-dip list and wasn't caught by panic.
So, facing this downturn, is there anything the past version of you would want to say to yourself?
"Don't be afraid, you've already been through worse."
"Remember, don’t let short-term emotions defeat your long-term judgment."

How did you get through back then?

So I tell myself that I am willing to ride this volatility because I am looking at the long term gains. I also tell myself that it is important to have a positive mindset.
There is no failure, only lessons learnt.
So I will continue to stay invested, whether the markets are up or down to reap bountiful harvest in the long term. My formula - invest in index ETFs. The scarier the markets, the cheaper the shares.

That experience changed me. This time, during the recent market plunge, I kept calm and stuck to my plan. I reminded myself how panicking last time only led to bad decisions. Instead of reacting impulsively, I followed a buy-the-dip list I had prepared, and it helped me stay focused on long-term goals, not short-term noise.
If I could tell my past self one thing, it would be: “You’ve made it through worse — trust your strategy and don’t let fear control you.” Every crash is tough in the moment, but each one has made me a stronger, more resilient investor.

这时候，我会强迫自己回到基本面。比如，我会问自己：手里的公司，基本面有没有恶化？盈利模式是不是还清晰？有没有核心竞争力？如果答案是“没有变化”，那下跌可能只是情绪杀价，而不是价值崩塌。那我就不会被短期走势带偏，甚至可能反手去加仓。
同时，我也会重审自己的持仓结构。有没有太集中在某个高波动板块？有没有过度依赖外部环境稳定的行业？该止损的止损，该调仓的调仓。不能因为下跌就盲目抄底，但也不能因为害怕就全线清仓。我更相信“调整仓位”而不是“全有或全无”的操作逻辑。
还有一点很重要，我会提醒自己：市场不会永远下跌。每一轮大跌之后，总会有一批资产被低估，总会有人在底部悄悄建仓。历史从不重复，但总有相似的韵律。真正赚到钱的，从来不是最聪明的人，而是最有耐心、最守纪律的人。
所以动荡期间，我会告诉自己：看清波动背后的本质，坚持自己的投资逻辑，不跟风、不恐慌，慢慢来，市场永远不缺机会。
