Regarding short selling, my logic is actually very simple—timing is everything.

Rather than taking the initiative to strike, it's better to be a patient hunter. What am I waiting for? Waiting for the market to go through a round of intense volatility, after which both bulls and bears have been battling for some time, and the bearish side has become exhausted, with scattered chips and an unstable footing. At this moment, the liquidity begins to loosen, signs of technical breakdown appear, and the overall market defense weakens.

It is at this moment that entering a short position is the most cost-effective—because the other side has no strength left to fight back. This is not the so-called "bearish" mindset; it’s about aligning with the market rhythm and doing the right thing at the right time. Many people rush to buy the dip or chase the short, but they often end up taking a hit; those who truly make money are those who know how to wait, only taking action when key support levels are broken and market confidence is completely shattered.

There's nothing wrong with that, but most people really can't learn this kind of patience. Waiting itself is the hardest lesson, more difficult than anything else. Why do so many people insist on missing the boat and taking the hit, really? Only act when the support level breaks—that's the prudent way to operate.

It sounds good, but to be honest, I've seen too many confident "patience hunters" end up kneeling in the end. Conversely, those who "take the hits" tend to live longer. What truly tests is mindset, not logic.

Basically, don't rush blindly. Wait until your opponent is already low on health before striking, that's what smart is.

That's right, but the problem is that most people can't wait at all, including myself. The real test is not finding the right timing, but resisting the urge to act impulsively. This theory sounds great, but in practice, it's easy to miss opportunities or buy in at the high price.
