Losing the down payment on a house in three months—that was the script I lived through a few years ago.

Bottom-Fishing Is the Fastest Suicide: Understand the "Jenga Tower Effect" to Survive a Crash

Buying the Dip at TWSE 40,000? This Is the Real Reason Taiwanese Retail Investors Lose Money

Taiwan stocks have broken 40,000 points. You open your phone, look at your account, and wonder whether to add to the bottom—then a year later you are down NT$300,000. Taiwanese retail investors lose money not because they pick the wrong stocks or lack inside information, but because their understanding of bottom-fishing is fundamentally wrong from the start. This article breaks down 3 underlying rules (using the wrong timing cancels time compounding, Taiwan stock volatility exceeds psychological capacity, and the structural interest alignment of Taiwan's financial institutions), 3 sweat-inducing account scenarios (including a 20-year gap of NT$2.86M), a 4-question decision framework, 4 veto rules, 4 practical action steps, 2 overlooked Taiwan-specific traps (after-tax dividend income yield, and leveraged ETF daily reset decay), and an emergency plan for extreme markets. Core line: in Taiwan stocks, what makes you lose money is never the market, it is your misjudgment of yourself. Action hint: before your next impulse buy, run the 4 questions and check the veto rules.

91% of Taiwan Retail Investors Lose Money! The 5 Deadly Sins—The 3rd Is the Most Fatal

According to TWSE statistics, the proportion of Taiwan retail investors with consistent long-term profits is below 10%; over 90% lose money in the market. You open your Taiwan stock app, see the numbers dropping again, and your finger hovers over the screen unsure whether to cut losses—is this a scene you live through every day? This article breaks down 5 deadly sins for Taiwan retail investors: chasing rallies and selling on dips, over-concentration, no stop-loss (disposition effect), ignoring trading costs and taxes, and no investment plan. The 3rd sin is the most fatal: the disposition effect causes you to sell winners too early and stop losses on losers too late. Using NT$1M as a sample: even at half-price commissions, monthly turnover can eat 7–8% of return per year in trading costs alone, plus a 0.5% difference in ETF management fee can mean a six-figure gap over 20 years of compounding. Includes 4 iron rules, 4 action steps, and differentiated strategies for different groups.

Buy High, Sell Low: The 4 Stages How Institutions Harvest Retail

Buy and get trapped, sell and watch it rip — it isn't bad luck, it's you acting out the script institutions wrote for you. Institutional harvesting of retail investors runs through four stages: accumulation, markup, distribution, and markdown, each with its corresponding emotional trap. This article dissects the chip-flow logic behind every stage and your emotional reactions, from FOMO psychology to your biggest weakness — impatience — then gives you four unbreakable rules and four immediate action steps so you stop being the bag-holder at the top. You will see why you always buy high (because by the time you commit, the news, friend tips, LINE group "insider calls," and YouTube gurus have all confirmed the move, after the price has already run), why the boring sideways range is actually the most dangerous trap for impatient retail, and why the one big bullish candle near the top is the final escape wave — not a breakout. Closing with how to audit your broker statement, list your positions with their original thesis, unsubscribe from all tip channels, and ask three questions before every buy. By the end you will know that the few who make money in the market aren't smarter — they are simply calmer, and that working against the crowd is the only survival skill that matters.
