【Which stocks are most accessible for ordinary retail investors】

1. Two types of stocks that ordinary retail investors must avoid

First type: "Hot Money Sentiment Stocks" that you think you can handle

This type of stock easily creates illusions:
Rapid gains, making money seem as easy as breathing.

But the truth is—
by the time you see it,
it's often already in the late emotional stage;
by the time you decide to buy,
hot money has already considered pulling out.

You can't compete with their speed,
their information,
or even their discipline.

Hot money stocks are not impossible to trade,
but they are a battlefield for a few experts,
not everyday stocks for ordinary retail investors.

Second type: "Manipulated Stocks" you can't hold

The problem with manipulated stocks isn't risk,
but time and mindset.

They may not fall,
but they can wear you down to doubting life;
they may have a main upward trend,
but you probably won't wait for it.

If you meet any of the following:
• Can't stand sideways movement
• Can't handle pullbacks
• Want to switch if it doesn't rise in a week or two

Then manipulated stocks are not an opportunity for you,
but a drain.

Stocks you can't hold,
no matter how much they rise,
are irrelevant to you.

2. The type of stocks ordinary retail investors should focus on

— Clear trend "Institutional Stocks"

Why?
Because it’s the only type that doesn't conflict with retail investors' disadvantages.

You lack speed,
but you have time;
you lack news,
but you can wait for trend confirmation;
you lack discipline?
Then at least you can reduce trading.

The advantages of institutional stocks are:
• Relatively clear logic
• Trends can continue
• No need to watch the screen every day
• Not relying on luck, but on probability

What you need to do is very simple:
Before the trend turns bad,
don't sell first yourself.

3. The only standard to judge which type suits you

It's not about capital size,
not about technical skills,
but about what kind of pain you can endure.
• Can't tolerate slow → Don't touch institutional stocks
• Can't handle pullbacks → Don't touch trend stocks
• Can't stand sideways movement → Don't touch manipulated stocks
• Can't accept stop-loss → Don't touch hot money stocks

The market doesn't give perfect options,
only options you can bear.

4. A very realistic route for ordinary retail investors

If you don't want to be led by market sentiment every day:
1. Choose industries with clear logic
2. Only trade stocks with confirmed trends
3. Reduce trading frequency
4. Accept "not making all the money"

You don't need to be the smartest person,
you just need to be the last one standing.

5. A heartfelt final reminder

The biggest enemy of retail investors,
is not manipulated stocks, not institutions, not hot money,
but the one who always wants to prove they are smart.

The market rewards those who seem the most foolish,
but can persist the longest.
