What is the ultimate weapon for wealth growth?

Two words: compound interest and stop-loss.

Once you understand these two, making money isn’t that hard.

Many people are always fixated on doubling or tenfold returns, dreaming only of getting rich quick. That’s not investing—that’s gambling. Those who really know how to play the game understand how to let profits snowball, and even more importantly, they know when to pull out without hesitation.

Compound interest is your offensive weapon. Every time you earn money, reinvest it, and over time, your returns curve will skyrocket. This doesn’t rely on luck—it depends on stability and patience.

Stop-loss is the iron rule of defense. If you’re wrong, admit it; if you’re losing, cut your losses. Don’t fantasize that you can recover by just holding on. The market won’t turn around just because you feel bad. If you hesitate when it’s time to stop your loss, you’ll lose your principal.

One helps you survive; the other helps you go the distance.
Once you understand these two, it’s hard to lose money.

What you said is absolutely right, but most people just can't do it—cutting losses is especially tough.

You're right about stop-loss, but compounding is really a pseudo-concept during a bear market.

It's harsh, but that's the reality. I've been taken out at the stop-loss point before. --- Compound interest sounds simple, but very few people actually stick with it. Most get tempted and end up being the ones getting rekt. --- Talking about stop-loss is easy, but when you're really losing money, everyone wants to take one more gamble, and that leads to painful lessons. --- You need to be strong on both fronts, but most people only want to gamble on the first and ignore the second. --- There's nothing wrong with what's being said, but I want to ask how many people can truly avoid being controlled by their emotions. --- Even if you understand it, you might not be able to do it. Mindset is harder than anything else. --- In the face of the market, stop-loss is even more brutal than compound interest, because it means admitting defeat. --- I've always wanted to ask: the premise of sticking to compound interest is staying alive—if you can't survive, it's all nonsense.

What you said is absolutely right, but most people just refuse to change. They have to lose everything before they understand the true meaning of cutting losses.

Well said, but the key is that most people simply can't do it—especially when it comes to stop-losses, the psychological barrier is just too tough.

Absolutely right, most people fail at the stop-loss stage. They can't bear the small losses, and end up losing everything in the end.

That's right, stop-losses really are lessons learned in blood. --- Compound interest sounds simple, but sticking with it is hellishly hard. --- The harshest truth is, most people fail at the stop-loss step. --- Thinking back to when I used to hold onto losing positions, it still scares me. --- These two words really work, but execution is the true dividing line. --- Stop-loss is the hardest, because it's not about intelligence—it's about psychological strength. --- Compound interest takes time, stop-loss takes courage—you can't miss either of them. --- Once you truly understand when to cut your losses, you'll start making money. --- It sounds simple but gets messy in practice—a lot of people fall because of wishful thinking. --- In simple terms, let your profits run and stop your losses. The hard part is in that word "let."
