What Does "Eating Noodles in the Dark" Mean?
The term "eating noodles in the dark" in the stock market is linked to an event that occurred in 2011. The stock of Chongqing Brewery plummeted due to the ineffectiveness of the hepatitis B vaccine they had invested in, dropping from 80 yuan to 20 yuan, with a market value loss exceeding 20 billion yuan. On the sixth consecutive day of this decline, an investor posted on the Chongqing Brewery section of Eastmoney.com: "Today, I went home, cooked some noodles, ate while crying, tears falling into the bowl, without the lights on." This post quickly resonated with many, leading to the emergence of the expression "eating noodles in the dark."
