Those bustling trends and repeatedly amplified opportunities are like striking road signs, guiding you in the same direction.
For example, when precious metals, Nvidia, and TSMC are rising, the news is overwhelming; everyone is buying, and everyone is talking about the future. The rise is portrayed as a consensus, and the consensus is packaged as certainty, leading you to mistakenly believe that as long as you follow, you won't go wrong.
But few remind you that real opportunities often lie outside the most crowded places. By the time you see them, it may already be the moment others are preparing to leave.
The reason the track is crowded is not because it is necessarily correct, but because it is sufficiently eye-catching.
