Looking back at the 2026 market cycle, the two directions that turned out to be correct were commercial aerospace and gold, but the problem was— I didn't dare to hold a heavy position. Looking back, it's all regret.

I tried asking AI how to make decisions, but after pondering for a while, DeepSeek didn't give any useful answers. However, the process itself has an indescribable comfort. Sometimes, the hardest part of investing isn't identifying the right direction, but making up your mind to go all in. Those damn hesitations often hurt the wallet more than market fluctuations.

Getting the direction right is still useless; this is my 2026. Even DeepSeek can't save indecisiveness, haha. In the end, it's still about losing the confidence that you didn't hold onto.

Getting the direction right but still losing money—that's the most heartbreaking thing. Indecision is the biggest enemy; it's more painful than missing out. AI can't save the jittery hands, haha. The courage to go all-in is truly more scarce than choosing the right track. Next time, I need to be more ruthless, or else I'll just be contributing to others again.

Getting the direction right still doesn't mean you've made money; this feeling is really more painful than losing money. --- Heavy investing is really about mental preparation, not technical skills. --- No matter how smart DeepSeek is, it can't replace that split-second decision-making ability. --- Hesitation is truly a silent killer, more painful than a limit-down. --- Commercial aerospace has indeed taken off. I was watching it rise, but it felt like I had nothing in hand. --- AI can calculate probabilities but can't gauge how brave you are. --- Next time, I need to learn to take a gamble. Anyway, even if I get the direction right, it’s useless. --- That's why some people earn passively, while no matter how smart others are, they can only watch dust settle. --- Asking AI is not as good as asking yourself if you're willing to go all-in. --- Getting the direction right is only 50 points; the remaining 50 depend entirely on whether you're brave enough to take action.

Seeing it right or not is useless; this is the most heartbreaking part. --- DeepSeek pondered for a long time haha, even AI can't save our cowardice. --- Hesitation is truly more painful than losing money; that feeling can be remembered for a lifetime. --- Even after stepping on the right path in commercial aerospace and gold, still regretting—that's ridiculous. --- The worst thing is being a Monday morning quarterback after the fact, seeing the right direction but lacking the courage to all-in. --- Asking AI for help instead of self-healing—that's a trick I’ve learned. --- Big bets are the way to make money; small positions are just busywork. I’ve realized this now. --- Opportunities to bet without daring are often the most regrettable, more painful than actual losses.

Seeing the right direction can actually lead to the biggest losses, this is truly incredible. --- DeepSeek can't save my cowardice either. --- Hesitation is the biggest enemy, no doubt about it. --- Having the courage to hold a heavy position is even harder than choosing the right coin. --- Just looking at being right is useless; no one dares to bet. --- Asking AI for the results and still getting cut, I laughed. --- This is why some people are always sleepwalking. --- The real test is at the moment of action. --- Another story of seeing the right way but not making a profit. --- Hesitation and the losses it causes could have bought several houses. --- Cowardice is the original sin, everyone. --- Being right can actually be more regretful; this is probably fate. --- Unable to make a decision, the wallet will always stay thin.
