When it comes to investing, the core is just two words: wait.

Have you ever wondered why top players are called "financial crocodiles"? Why not tigers, lions, or sharks?

Lions and tigers are indeed fierce, no doubt the kings of the grasslands. But they have to run and chase, which consumes a lot of energy, and they might get injured when facing tough prey.

Crocodiles are different. They lurk underwater, motionless, sometimes holding their breath for hours. When the prey gets close? They explode in an instant, delivering a fatal blow. They may seem lazy most of the time, but at the critical moment, they're precise and ruthless.

The market works the same way. Staring at the screen and trading all day is like a cheetah chasing rabbits everywhere—exhausting and prone to mistakes. Real masters are waiting—waiting for a clear opportunity, then going all in.

Patience is worth more than diligence.
