All investments should be evaluated based on opportunity cost versus time. Are you investing for the short term or the long term? And which option would be more efficient and profitable if you invested elsewhere instead of this? The idea behind recommending long-term stock investments is that high-quality securities tend to benefit from inflation. Inflation happens when the prices of goods increase faster than the value of money. Wouldn’t a producer only make a good if its price exceeds its monetary value? However, if this gap is too large, the consumer experiences volatility. That’s why the efficiency of using money declines because you need money to buy things. This principle explains why stock prices tend to rise over time if you hold high-quality stocks long enough. Therefore, investing is often referred to as investing in time—because over time, it adds value. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
When you bleed, the blood comes into contact with the air, it changes from a liquid to a jelly, and then from a jelly to a solid scab. This inherent property of a substance is called its "physical property". If the properties of blood do not change from liquid to jelly and then to solid, people will die from excessive bleeding to death. Thus, physical properties are quite important to our life phenomena. The properties are almost everything in the business of food and chemical products. We can do our business although without an understanding of the properties. But if we cannot understand, or do overlook them, even a coffee shop can't expect to win the competition. So start by understanding the properties. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
