What is stepping on the stock market?

The stock price rose, but the investors who originally sold the stock did not buy it in time for some reason. This phenomenon is called stepping on the air.

It has nothing to do with "empty". When the share price of a stock goes up all the way, it is judged that the share price will fall back in the afternoon, so I throw this stock, and I want to buy back the thrown stock at a low price. Who knows that the stock price has not fallen, but has been rising. In this way, this "high throw and low catch" foot is "empty".

For example, if there is a stock, you estimate that it will fall to 4 yuan per share tomorrow, so you plan to buy it in 4 yuan. After the market opens the next day, you will place an order in 4 yuan.

But it opened at 4.20 yuan, and then it went all the way up and never looked back. Of course, you didn't. On the third day, you still expect 4 yuan to buy it, but it keeps going up. On the fourth day, it even rose above 5 yuan. At this time, you wish you had bought it on April 20th. But it's no longer possible. It's called stepping on the air.

In the stock market, the antonym of stepping empty is locking positions.

Reasons for stepping on empty space:

After the publication of the new book Irrational Prosperity by Robert J. Shiller, an American finance professor, people have paid wide attention to it. In this book, Shiller used many financial behavior theories to explain the reasons for the bubble in the American stock market in the late 1990s.

Due to the psychological impact of the continuous rise of China stock market on investors in recent years, this is even more severe in the US stock market. Shiller pointed out that those who think that the stock market will continue to fall and slow down are sensitive to their bad emotions because of repeated misjudgments year after year.

Those who have been predicting the recession will feel painful humiliation because they are always wrong. Since the satisfaction of knowing the world is part of self-esteem and personal identity, it is natural that people who were pessimistic before want to establish a different world outlook, or at least present different attitudes in public.

It is precisely because of this that the energy of "somersault" is sometimes very strong, and even many people are desperate to flood into the market at a high level.

Especially when stock investment has become a popular culture (the relatively straightforward term that easily excites some people is "national stock trading"), investors are even more afraid of "stepping on the air".
