Do you remember the market rally from 2005 to 2007? The non-ferrous metals sector was simply the darling of the market.

At that time, China was in a rapid industrialization phase, infrastructure investment was booming, the RMB appreciation was strongly expected, and the global commodity cycle was at a high point—these three forces combined to push the entire non-ferrous sector to new heights. Those who bought the right stocks back then could easily see returns of 10x, or even over 20x.

How outrageous was it? Tin Industry Co., Ltd. soared from 5 yuan to 102 yuan, a 27-fold increase. Chihong Zinc & Germanium was even more explosive, jumping from 35 yuan directly to 306 yuan, a full 38 times. Shandong Gold rose from just over 6 yuan to 291 yuan, a 43-fold increase. Yunnan Copper Industry increased 39 times, from over 3 yuan to 127 yuan. Hongda Group increased 25 times, Jiangxi Copper 19 times, and Zhuyé Group also saw an 18-fold rise...

These numbers would be considered unbelievable in today’s market. But back then, they actually happened. The power of cycles can sometimes be so brutal and crazy.

Back then, it was truly a free win. Now it's too late to regret. Oh my, a 43x increase—can't even dream of that now. Cycles, you know, missing one really means waiting a long time. If I had known earlier, I would have gone all in on metals. Now they've become someone else's wealth code. When the next wave comes, we must seize the opportunity.

Back then, you could just buy a commodity and sit back to win. Now? Every day chasing highs and getting trapped. Who can replicate the madness of those days? It's basically impossible now. A 43x increase is just a dream now; the cycle really won't come back. That wave of market frenzy was like injecting chicken blood; now the market is already awake. Still hoping for ten-bag stocks? You haven't experienced that crazy period.
