In 2015, I first ventured into the stock market, drawn by a colleague's daily boasts of profits. Initially, I blindly followed trends, trying to trade based on charts, lines, and so-called insider information. After a few years, although I didn't suffer significant losses, I also didn't achieve substantial gains. Most importantly, I realized I had wasted precious time.

As time went on, my enthusiasm for stock investing gradually waned, and I began to doubt if I was suited for this field. At that point, I heard that mutual funds might be a better option, so I turned to actively managed funds, but the results were still unsatisfactory. It wasn't until 2020 that I encountered Buffett's investment philosophy, and everything became clear. Buffett once humorously said, "If you want to select someone to pick stocks by throwing darts without charging management fees, I would always choose the monkey over Wall Street professionals." This made me reflect deeply and I began to read a lot of Buffett's books and materials. I was deeply attracted to his ideas.

Along the way, I also learned about Charlie Munger, whose wisdom equally fascinated me. Buffett and Munger's philosophies became my guiding principles: buying shares of excellent companies at reasonable prices and accompanying these companies as they grow. My investment portfolio is entirely based on the value investing principles of Buffett and Munger. I am committed to finding quality companies with long-term growth potential and investing in them at reasonable prices. I believe that through patience and wisdom, my investment portfolio can achieve steady growth.
