In market, there are different approaches to earn money, one can invest, trade or even short sell to earn some profit. However, the writer is only going to cover both investing and trading. Investing obviously is a longer term approach, trying to see the company’s growth and earn some dividend sometime. Trading on the other hand is to buy and sell in shorter time, earning only a smaller amount, but larger quantity of money.

Let’s start with investing. When a stock is at their low, investors will have two mind-sets, leading to two different approaches. One is to see whether the stock still have growth potential or not, they will disregard this stock if they have no future three to five years later even if they are priced at a new low. On the other hand, some investors will look at its value, where dropping to the current price point is considered undervalued. Hence, buying now has the minimum risk and the potential return will be high. This shows the different approach of value investing and growth investing.

Now let’s move on to trading. Same situation, when a stock has dropped to their new low, some traders will think that this stock has no trend now, hence all hot money are flowing out of this counter. This leads to the drop of this counter and they will not buy until the hot money flow back into this counter. On the other hand, there will be traders thinking that buying now can seek for a short-term rebound because it has been dropping for days. Hence, they decided to only buy for a rebound, because the price is low enough and if they failed to rebound, they can always sell out the shares.

In short, we can see neither investing and trading have a sure win formula, but it all depends on the mind-set. This mind-set is exactly the same where people will panic sell when there is a mild correction, proving that not everyone is suitable to invest or trade. As long as you can earn money, it does not matter what methods others are using, focus on your own method will be the best.

在股市里，总有不同的方法来赚钱，你可以投资，交易或者卖空来赚取盈利。但是，笔者今天只会会专注在投资和交易。投资自然而然就是比较长期的选择，计算公司未来的成长，同时也获取一点股息。交易在另一方面则是在短时间内做比较多的买卖，尽管赚的幅度比较少，但是基于它们经常操作，它们的量会比较多。

我们就先从投资开始吧。当一个股来到它们的新低的时候，投资者会有两种不同的心态，造就了两种不同的方法。一个就是会先看这家公司的前景是否还有成长空间，如果它们在未来3到5年内不会有太大的出成长的话，他们便会忽视这个股。另一方面，一些投资者会看他们的价值，当一个股跌倒这个那么低的价位时就已经可以说是被低估了。因此，现在选择买入并不会有太大的风险，而且回酬会相对的比较高。这就显示了价值投资和成长型投资的差别了。

现在我们就来看看交易。同样的情况，当一个股跌到它们的新低时，交易者也会有不同的心态，一些投资者会认为这个股已经没有了趋势，所以热钱都不在这里并已经流进了其他的板块。这就造就了这个股的下跌，而他们也不会现在买进，他们只会在热钱流回进来的时候才考虑买入。另一方面，一些交易者则可能会以反弹为主，当一个股下跌了那么多天的时候已经到了不理智的状态，因此很大可能短期内有个小回弹。即使回弹失败，因为买的价钱十分低了，所以当场卖出可能回小赚，而且亏的话也亏不多。

总结，我们可以看到无论投资还是交易都没有一贯的赚钱守则，主要还是看个人的心态。这种心态恰恰就是那种会在回调的时候卖出的人，因此来决定不是每个人都适合投资或交易。只要能在股市赚到钱，你也不太需要管别人用什么方式，用自己的方式才是最好的。
