English英语 term
to catch a falling knife
Buy, sell or hold? I think it is too late to sell. The question in my mind is whether to “catch a falling knife” or wait until there is some confirmation of a bottom in technical or fundamental terms. (seekingalpha.com)

Bargain-hunters tempted by the banks' falling share prices should beware the Square Mile adage; it's dangerous to catch a falling knife. (Telegraph.co.uk)

| Hi, Shirley, Sorry that I used the "note to answerer" fuction. "Translate this term" is complicated. when you used "別", it means "never" or "not to", so it leaves 逢低承接 as catching a falling knife. That's what I'm concerned. |
