L’homme qui achetait toujours au plus haut et vendait au plus bas.

Il était une fois un homme qui voulait devenir riche en investissant. Un jour, il avait 10 000 $ sur son compte bancaire. Le marché était calme. Les prix étaient bas, mais personne ne semblait intéressé par l’achat. Il avait peur de perdre son argent, alors il attendit. Quelques mois plus tard, le marché commença à monter. Il voyait des gens gagner de l’argent. Ses amis parlaient de leurs profits. Les réseaux sociaux regorgeaient d’histoires de réussite. Il pensa : *« Je passe à côté de l’occasion d’une vie ! »* Il investit donc presque tout son argent.

Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to become rich through investing.
One day, he had $10,000 in his bank account.
The market was quiet. Prices were low, but nobody seemed interested in buying. He was afraid of losing his money, so he waited.
A few months later, the market started rising.
He saw people making money. His friends were talking about their profits. Social media was full of success stories.
He thought, *"I'm missing the opportunity of a lifetime!"*
So he invested almost all his money.
The market kept rising, and he felt like a genius. He even regretted not buying more.
Then, suddenly, the market crashed.
His portfolio dropped 20%, then 30%, then 40%.
He couldn't sleep. Every day, he checked the prices, hoping for a recovery.
Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.
"I need to save whatever money I have left,"
he told himself.
He sold everything.
A few weeks later, prices fell even further. He felt relieved that he had sold.
But then something unexpected happened.
The market began to recover.
Slowly, prices started rising again. The same assets he had sold at a loss were now becoming more expensive.
He wanted to buy back in, but he had lost confidence.
He waited for prices to fall again.
Instead, the market kept rising.
Eventually, he bought back at a much higher price.
And the cycle repeated.
The saddest part?
He didn't lose because he lacked intelligence.
He lost because he bought when he felt greedy, sold when he felt afraid, and had no plan when the market was quiet.
He kept buying when everyone was optimistic and selling when everyone was pessimistic.
And every time the market offered him an opportunity, his emotions made him do the opposite.
The lesson?
When everyone is greedy, be careful.
When everyone is fearful, don't panic.
Keep emergency savings. Invest gradually. Hold quality assets only if they still fit your investment plan.
Never invest money you cannot afford to leave invested.
And remember: a falling price is not automatically a bargain, just as a rising price is not proof of a good investment.
The market rewards patience, discipline, and risk management. It does not reward every person who simply waits for a crash.
Don't let your emotions turn a market cycle into a personal cycle of buying high and selling low.
