Many people predict the markets, but few prepare for when they’re wrong

We've all had that moment in our investing lives when we've made a confident bet, thinking, "This time it's going to go up," only to have the exact opposite happen. I remember a few years ago when I made a big bet on the real estate market, believing the experts' predictions that it would continue to rise, only to lose a lot of money when a sudden policy change caused the market to plummet.

The problem wasn't that they were wrong, it was that I didn't consider the possibility that they could be wrong. Market forecasts can't be 100% accurate, but I acted as if they were a certainty.

After that, I completely changed my approach: I stopped trying to guess "what will the market do?" and started focusing on "how can I prepare for different scenarios?" I realized that forecasts are just a guide, and that what really matters is preparing for uncertainty.

Prompt.

After redesigning my market forecasting and investment strategy with this systematic approach and applying it for two years, I was able to achieve really stable and effective investment performance. The biggest change was that my 'reliance on forecasts' was significantly reduced.

The key was to move from a "single forecast" to a "multi-scenario" approach to thinking, so that instead of saying, "The stock market will go up 20% next year," we could consider multiple possibilities simultaneously, such as "20% up with a 30% probability, sideways with a 40% probability, and down 10% with a 30% probability.

What worked particularly well was an "adaptive positioning" strategy, where I would overweight when I was confident in my forecast and underweight when I was uncertain, which allowed me to make steady profits without losing too much money.
