2023 will be a challenging year for investors in the A** market. According to a recently released survey, the average loss of A-share shareholders this year reached 650,000 yuan, and at the same time, 260,000 accounts were closed. These data have sparked widespread attention and discussion. Although the Shanghai Composite Index fell by only about 5% for the year, these staggering figures reveal the deepest problems and challenges.
There have been a number of shocking incidents on the A** market this year, including high-profile divorce cases, domestic violence incidents of executives of listed companies, allegations of insider trading, financial fraud, quantitative short-selling strategies, and questioned ** repurchases. These incidents have dealt a serious blow to investor confidence, especially the violations of major shareholders, which are regarded as "blood-pumping" of the capital market, causing many shareholders to suffer heavy losses.
The behavior of these 260,000 investors reflects their desperation or helplessness to be eliminated by the market. These developments highlight the brutality of capital markets and the vulnerability of investors in the face of market volatility. Uncertainty, combined with the impact of investor sentiment, makes it more difficult to make a profit.
Importantly, the success of an investment depends not only on the future returns, but more importantly, on whether the investor has sufficient risk awareness and judgment ability. Investing in the market is not a suitable field for everyone, especially for investors who lack the relevant knowledge and experience. A lot of investors end up being defeated by their emotions.
