It is said that several years ago, a reporter went to the sales department to interview investors on the spot about how they invest. In today's market, most securities transactions are conducted electronically, and such bustling sales department investment venues are rarely seen. But in the early years, many securities companies would provide a hall for investors to gather together. This venue was open from the opening of the market in the morning to the closing of the market in the afternoon, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

The young reporter was assigned to interview people at the sales department. He asked investors how they invest. He asked several investors, "How do you invest?" Everyone answered that they invest in the short term, listen to the news, and look at the charts. The reporter was very disappointed. He thought that this program could not be broadcast. It was too speculative. It seemed that all investors had no investment philosophy.

Finally, he met an old man. The reporter asked him how he invested. The old man said with disdain: "I am different from them. I don't do short-term investment. I do long-term investment. I look at the long term!"

The reporter was very happy. This made the interview perfect and the program did not seem too speculative. However, the reporter was also too young and did not know when to quit. He asked casually, "How long do you mean by long-term investment?" The old man said without hesitation, "It should be at least two weeks!"

In fact, people always say that investment should be long-term, but based on my years of experience, the number of people who are really willing to take a long-term view is definitely less than 1%, but it is probably too much to say that it is around 5%. To borrow an old saying, "In this vast world, how many people are there?"

This phenomenon of "investing for the long term, not the long term" is not only true in the domestic market, but also in developed markets such as Europe and the United States. If we think long-term, where did the 2008 global financial crisis come from?

However, for investors who are truly willing to focus on the long term, such a market where "everyone loves the short term" actually provides them with excellent opportunities. When others are impatient to play their cards, those investors who can restrain themselves can find many mistakes made by their opponents and the investment opportunities brought about by these mistakes.
