The recent market situation of $FHE has left some people feeling helpless. Considering a capital scale of 100 million, the profit margin for the big players is astonishing. Even after accounting for slippage and losses, they can easily secure at least 50 million, and estimates can go up to 80 million. The logic behind this is actually not complicated.

Over 90% of the short positions in the market are concentrated in the hands of the big players, and retail traders are their counterparts. As long as retail traders are greedy, there is basically no way out under this structure. The big players earn transaction fees while creating panic through price manipulation, repeatedly harvesting—simply put, they dominate both sides of the market. From the amount of capital, to informational advantage, to execution efficiency, the big players have complete control over the game rules.

I have to say, this kind of manipulation technique is indeed quite clever and ruthless. The game between retail traders and big players is essentially played out under this unequal information and capital structure. That’s just how the market works—always a few people win big, while most are just paying tuition.

Listening to this is just outrageous, 90% of the short positions are in the hands of the manipulators? With our limited funds, isn't that just feeding them. I've already said not to fight against the manipulators, it's just inviting humiliation. Profit margins from 50 million to 80 million... Mom, with 100 million in capital, it's really easy to target retail investors. It's the same old trick of both long and short sides eating together, I keep falling for it, I really am convinced. Slippage and losses are not even a problem; the manipulators have already calculated everything. Honestly, information asymmetry is truly a terminal illness; retail investors have no way out. This is the market, always a few people eating the meat and the majority drinking the soup. Damn, this tactic is really ruthless, creating panic to repeatedly harvest, it's top-notch. Without equal capital and information, playing with the manipulators is just asking for death. The rules are all in their hands, and we are just pawns.

Another story of getting rug-pulled, retail investors will always be the last bagholders The dealer's combination punch is indeed perfect, they can even profit from fees 90% of short positions are in their hands? Then us small retail investors are just meat on the chopping block Look at FHE, then look at your own account, increasingly feeling that this market is just a scam Really, not greed is the biggest winner, but who can do that? They have information, funds, and time; we only have passion and tears of loss I've seen through this wave, waiting for the next opportunity Bull and bear both eat, really clever, anyway the dealer wins no matter what Why bother with technical analysis, just see what the dealer is thinking and it's all over

Once again, the old trick of cutting leeks. Retail investors really need to wake up. Stop dreaming; this game has been a win for the big players from the start. 50 million to 80 million? It's right here, but the key is we don't even know how we died. 90% of the short positions are in the hands of the big players. Our small amount of money is really just here to warm the bench. Long and short positions both being favored—sounds ridiculous, but this is the reality. The information gap is right there; no matter how you play, you can't beat them. It's outrageous. We're paying tuition while they count their money. Retail investors either lie flat or learn to follow the big players; there is no third way. Is there a way out under this structure? No, there isn't. Face the reality, everyone.

Coming to harvest again? Looking at this routine, I'm already tired of it. The saying that retail investors have no way out is really spot on. Anyway, I'm also one being taken advantage of, so I might as well lie flat and watch the show. --- 90% of short positions are in the hands of the manipulators; our K-line here is just their toy. --- That's why I advise people not to go all in. With such a huge disparity in capital structure, what's the point of fighting? --- That's a valid point... but since we're retail investors, just keep going all in. --- Really? 50 million in profit? The manipulators really know how to make money.
