Let’s talk about those mesmerizing “monster stocks”—the kind that professionally manufacture illusions.

A lot of people enter the market after seeing these skyrocketing candlestick charts: vertical surges, consecutive limit-ups, like riding a rocket. The result? They only wake up after getting stuck in the mud: this kind of thing is nowhere near normal.

It’s the same logic as buying a lottery ticket. Someone always hits the jackpot, but that person is almost never you.

Reality is harsh—there are currently over 5,000 listed companies in A-shares, and about 200 trading days a year. How many can actually produce such crazy curves? Just a handful. Saying "one in ten thousand" is not an exaggeration. If you think you’re lucky enough to try, honestly, you might as well buy a lottery ticket. At worst, you don't win the lottery—it's different in the stock market: most of the time, besides missing out, you end up bleeding money. Guess which category you’re most likely to fall into?

That said, although these stocks are rare, they’re still worth studying. Why? Because they are the ultimate sample of human madness, and the most naked interpretation of the market’s profit logic. Greed, fear, herd mentality, fantasy… it’s all in there.

You really have to figure this out for yourself. No matter how much others explain, nothing beats experiencing it firsthand. Some lessons can only be learned by paying real money as tuition.
