In the first ten days, Star Han observed carefully, analyzing and verifying his own analysis, trying to understand the reasons for success and failure. Because when Star Han was writing his thesis, he had read a lot of books about the stock market, so now it wasn't unfamiliar to him. He realized that he had a natural talent for this, which explained why his paper had won an award. Gradually, Star Han found himself growing more and more fond of this work.
After about ten days of practice, Star Han finally found a direction. On this day, he decided to make his first order, which amounted to only 50,000 yuan. Before placing the order, he had analyzed and considered for a long time, making sure he had a high degree of certainty. After all, the first time was significant, and it would have a lasting impact. After placing the order, Star Han sat in front of the computer, wholeheartedly observing the rise and fall of the "Mafan" stock he had purchased, feeling his heart race. Whenever the stock rose, he felt inexplicably happy, and when it fell, he became restless. Although he had read many books and knew that to make money in the stock market, one must get used to its ups and downs, he still couldn't control his emotions during actual operations.
Initially, Star Han chose this stock because it didn't have much volatility and had been steadily rising during this period. Star Han wanted to make a small profit on it, to have a good start. After all, it was the first time. He should be cautious.
However, unexpectedly, right after Star Han purchased the "Mafan" stock, it started to decline, albeit temporarily. But it scared Star Han. Honestly, Star Han didn't really care about losing a few thousand yuan, although it wasn't a small amount. Compared to hundreds of thousands, it wasn't much. Moreover, since Star Han had decided to trade stocks, he had prepared himself for accompanying losses. But what he didn't expect was that he would lose on his first trade, even after careful consideration. This made Star Han wonder if he was not suitable for this line of work.
Star Han searched online for all the information he could find about the "Mafan" stock, carefully analyzing the company's performance and the stock's trends. He concluded that based on the current stock price, "Mafan" was undervalued, and the stock price had the potential to rise. After reviewing recent domestic and international events, he found nothing that could significantly impact the stock price of "Mafan." So he concluded that the current decline in "Mafan" must be the result of manipulation. This relieved him a little.
With this judgment, Star Han decided to take action. He decided to buy more shares when the stock price was low. He placed another order for 50,000 yuan, determined to take a long-term approach. He wouldn't give up until he made a profit.
After making the purchase, he didn't dare place any more orders. He just watched the trend of "Mafan" every day, hoping to see its price rise. In the remaining time, he looked at the situations of other stocks, analyzing them while reading the books he had bought on stock trading. He felt relaxed for a while.
However, the continued decline of "Mafan" made it difficult for him to feel happy. Like this, ten days flew by, and Star Han felt as if it had been an eternity. Star Han had studied enough and analyzed the situation systematically. Unfortunately, the stock price of "Mafan" kept declining. Star Han started to doubt his judgment. By this time, Star Han had lost one-tenth of his initial investment in this stock, which amounted to 10,000 yuan. This result made Star Han tremble. If he had invested one million yuan, he would have lost one hundred thousand. One hundred thousand was an amount that many people couldn't earn in a year, and he could lose it in just ten days. Star Han realized the mercilessness of the stock market and couldn't help but feel afraid. He told himself that maybe he should cut his losses and sell his shares. At this point, the losses weren't significant, and he still had a chance to stop. It could be considered a lesson for him, as he had been too eager to make money.

Just when Star Han was considering selling his shares, the "Mafan" stock, which had remained stagnant for a long time, started to move, and it was on an upward trend. Star Han was overjoyed and quickly dismissed the idea of selling. He observed the changes in "Mafan" closely. As expected, for several consecutive days, "Mafan" continued to rise. Star Han felt that the timing was not yet ripe, so he didn't take any action. But before the stock price reached Star Han's target, it immediately plummeted again. It kept sliding down, and Star Han regretted his decision. If he had known it wouldn't be so good, he would have made a profit.
Fortunately, the decline didn't last long, and the price started to rise again. This time, Star Han didn't hesitate and sold all his shares. By the time he sold, the stock price had risen more than thirty percent higher than when he had bought it. After settling the accounts, he made a profit of over 10,000 yuan. Although there were some twists and turns and the profit wasn't substantial, he had achieved his goal. Star Han was overjoyed, but unfortunately, he couldn't share his joy with anyone. He treated himself to a big meal, comforting himself.
However, it was regrettable that after Star Han sold his shares, the "Mafan" stock continued to rise. If Star Han had waited for another day or two, he could have earned twice the amount. Unfortunately, Star Han didn't wait for that moment.
From this experience, Star Han truly began to understand the stock market. He realized that in the stock market, there were no absolutes. Today it could rise, and tomorrow it might fall without reason, without needing a reason. He also began to experience the hardships that outsiders didn't know about in stock trading. In reality, stock trading wasn't as easy as some people imagined. It wasn't just about investing a few hundred thousand or a few million and reaping generous returns. Stocks were not a treasure trove; they were a battlefield. On this battlefield, what was needed was not only a calm mind and sharp judgment but also a strong will and broad-mindedness.
After wrapping up the "Mafan" stock, there were only a few days left until the start of the new semester. Thanks to the initial success and earning money, it was the first time Star Han had earned money on his own. He was delighted but didn't plan to continue trading during the summer vacation. He focused on preparing for the upcoming semester. Since he hadn't done well in the previous semester's exams and had a few courses to make up, Star Han needed to study for the exams.
Star Han also felt that he had wasted too much time in the previous semester. He didn't accomplish anything during the whole half semester and didn't perform well in his coursework. Star Han made up his mind to do well in his current semester's courses, but he didn't expect to excel. After all, he didn't plan to take the postgraduate entrance exam or receive any scholarships. Many other people needed them more than him, so he would let them have those opportunities. On the other hand, he wanted to familiarize himself with all aspects of stock trading and strive to earn tens or hundreds of thousands. Now, he was full of confidence, believing that he had the ability to achieve that.
