市場的波動和個股的波動

Take a look at the last 189 years of general stock prices:

 

Some anecdotes I find interesting by observing the results 189 years between 1825 and 2013:

• The market had 134 positive years and 55 negative years (the market was up 71% of the time)
• 44% of the time the market finished the year between 0% and +20%
• 60% of the time the market finished the year between -10% and +20%
• Only 14% of the time (26 out of 189 years) did the market finish worse than -10%
• Only a mere 4.8% of the time (fewer than 1 in 20 years) did the market finish worse than -20%

2011年，老巴印度之行的談話

“If you look at the typical stock on the New York Stock Exchange, its high will be, perhaps, for the last 12 months will be 150 percent of its low so they’re bobbing all over the place. All you have to do is sit there and wait until something is really attractive that you understand.”

“There’s almost nothing where the game is stacked more in your favor like the stock market”

“What happens is people start listening to everybody talk on television or whatever it may be or read the paper, and they take what is a fundamental advantage and turn it into a disadvantage. There’s no easier game than stocks. You have to be sure you don’t play it too often”
 
一個人一生中能遇到50%幅度的市場波動機率非常少，幾十年也未必遇得上一次。
而一個普通個股的50%幅度的波動是平均一年一次。


熊市的市場經驗對個股沒有多少價值，對比個股，熊市的市場波動頻率和幅度太小太少。

很多事情你隻要努力付出了，沒功勞也有苦勞，勤奮會有個基本的收益保障。但投資這行既殘酷又簡單的特征在於，從來不問你付出了多少，而隻看你對不對。這種類別的工作，努力是第二位的，第一位是正確的價值觀和方法論。否則，方向不對，越勤奮越坎坷，越癡迷越瘋魔。-  水晶蒼蠅拍
