In our last website article published on April 10, we reminded our investors to stay calm amid volatility and chaos. At that time, anxiety was high, headlines were gloomy, and markets looked unstable. Many doubted our conviction to stay the course. Yet, as history has often proven, discipline in the face of fear is the cornerstone of long-term investing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just a few trading sessions later, the markets came roaring back\u2014an emphatic validation of the principles we hold dear. This episode brought to mind the wisdom of Peter Lynch, who once said that “Far more money has been lost by investors trying to anticipate corrections, than has been lost in the corrections themselves.”<\/em> Indeed, Mr. Market, as Benjamin Graham metaphorically coined, can be emotional, irrational, and at times deeply pessimistic. But just because Mr. Market chooses to price our portfolio every minute doesn\u2019t mean we need to act on it\u2014especially not when the prices are low and senseless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over the past month, countless media outlets, major financial institutions, and self-styled market gurus advised the public to \u201ccut risk,\u201d \u201csit in cash,\u201d or \u201cwait for clarity.\u201d These calls have frightened many into selling at depressed prices\u2014effectively transferring their wealth to the brave and disciplined who chose to buy when others were fearful. It echoes Warren Buffett\u2019s enduring truth: “Wealth is made when markets are bad and lost when markets are good.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The temptation to time the market is a deeply human flaw\u2014one that has persisted throughout history. Even though the evidence is clear, many still prefer to gamble than to invest with discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is precisely why we believe investing is a professional skill, and there is real merit in leaving that responsibility to professionals. Not all who claim to be professionals act in your best interest\u2014but we do. At Eu Capital, our distinction is not just in performance, but in integrity and alignment. We have no need to make a fee at your expense\u2014because we don\u2019t need to. We\u2019re here to serve those who resonate with our values and principles, not to exploit volatility for short-term gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We thank our investors who stood firm with us. In times like these, it is the quality of decision-making\u2014not the noise\u2014that determines long-term wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us close with a passage from the ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4e3e\u4e16\u8a89\u4e4b\u800c\u4e0d\u52a0\u529d\uff0c\u4e3e\u4e16\u975e\u4e4b\u800c\u4e0d\u52a0\u6cae\uff0c\u5b9a\u4e4e\u5185\u5916\u4e4b\u5206\uff0c\u8fa9\u4e4e\u8363\u8fb1\u4e4b\u5883\uff0c\u65af\u5df2\u77e3\u3002 This timeless wisdom reminds us that true confidence comes not from market validation, but from a clear compass, quiet strength, and unwavering values.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In our last website article published on April 10, we reminded our investors to stay calm amid volatility and chaos.

\u201cWhen the whole world praises you, you are not encouraged; when the whole world condemns you, you are not disheartened. You are anchored in the distinction between internal and external, and clear on the boundaries of honor and disgrace\u2014that is all.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
