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”
The breath that continues every moment becomes our life. Our breaths are always sincere. Sincerity is our burden. However, no one considers the breath a burden. To live, we must persist. The paradox is this: if the burden is light, we can ignore it and feel we don't have a reason to continue. It is a weakness of small integrity. To live a better life, we have to do something small every day that's even small, but not burdensome, like breathing. Pretend to be fooled, but believe me just once. Life will change. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
