In any capital market, the assets worth being a long-term friend of and capable of dollar-cost averaging to earn compound interest are always just a few, sometimes only one in certain markets. For example, Kweichow Moutai in the Chinese A-share market, Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market, and Tesla, Apple, and Nvidia in the U.S. stock market. The remaining 99% of those who hold long-term tend to end up losing money. Knowing when to take profits and exercising patience are the mindset secrets to becoming one of the less than 5% of market participants who benefit.
