Epilogue

“Capture market changes and seize opportunities with momentum!”
To be successful, you must avoid the advice commonly given by stock market experts.

Not all investments in US stocks are successful.
Many investors fail time and time again by trying to time the market or by trading emotionally.
Author Mi-Joo Eun closely analyzes the common causes of investment failure, highlighting the limitations of timing predictions and the dangers of emotional decisions.
In particular, he emphasizes that you should not blindly believe the eight pieces of advice that stock experts often give.
Typical pitfalls include excessive attempts to time the market, an obsession with lowering the average price in a bear market, and an investment style that overlooks the macroeconomy and market psychology.
It talks about how seemingly plausible advice like “don’t be so arrogant” can actually lead to failure.
The author argues that investors should deviate from this advice, establish their own investment criteria, and pursue long-term success through a logical approach.
It provides a realistic path for investors to set the right investment direction without wavering.
