How do stock investors save themselves from a sharp market decline?

The Shanghai Composite Index fell by 46%, sliding from its peak of 6,124 points in October last year to a low of 3,271 points yesterday. In the first three months of this year alone, 12 trillion yuan of market value vanished into thin air, causing devastating losses for the new retail investors who had entered the market at its peak. However, as the saying goes, there is no point crying over spilt milk or regretting decisions made in the past. If you are determined to become a successful stock investor, it may be better to turn this painful experience into motivation and use it to grow through the ups and downs of the stock market.
