Stock prices fluctuate constantly. There are several reliable ways to mitigate stock price volatility: trading short-term gap price differences, buying and selling with momentum, or holding high-quality stocks for the long term until volatility averages out. When stock price movement is mathematically differentiated by time, the instantaneous price emerges—but humans cannot act in microseconds. In contrast, computers, with enhanced performance, can now trade at these speeds. Furthermore, by using artificial intelligence to analyze stock data, computers can reduce mistakes and trade algorithmically, unaffected by emotion. Still, even computers are limited if humans incorrectly input trading rules. Humans are not suboptimal investors due to a shortage of information or knowledge, but because they often fail to follow the necessary rules in each situation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The reason individuals feel that time goes by more slowly when they are young is likely due to a decline in memory . As children, people have limited experience, so everything feels new, and they tend to remember new things well. Having less experience translates to fewer memories. Because there are so many new memories, children perceive time as passing slowly. However, as people age, experience accumulates, and they typically become better at predicting situations, making it easier to cope, resulting in fewer surprises. Since these experiences are not exceptional, they tend to forget them, and when reflecting on the past, there’s little to recall, creating the sensation that time flies. Among the aspects of aging, what is scarier than the decline of the senses is the deterioration of expectations . If the flavor of food becomes predictable based on accumulated experie...

The value of one piece of bread is greater when you have only two pieces than when you have ten. The same principle applies to how we use our time. Age serves as a significant measure of how we perceive the quality of time. As people approach death, they tend to place a higher value on time. In other words, the quality of time spent varies with age. While mistakes made in your twenties can be overlooked, tolerating the same mistakes in your fifties or sixties indicates a different quality, despite the same amount of time passing. Growing older means gaining a deeper understanding of responsibility and acceptance. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
