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”
Growth and development stem not from accumulating achievements but from various forms of “exchange.” This means that they arise from the value I contribute in relation to the value of something else. This idea applies universally across all communities where people gather, whether in families, companies, or churches, and this exchange can be understood as “sacrifice.” Often, we sacrifice some internal members for the benefit of the group or employees for the satisfaction of external customers. The nature and reasons behind the sacrifice determine the organization’s morality, while the intentions and outcomes of the sacrifice demonstrate its ethical standing. Thus, the phrase “good influence” poses social risks; this is because a sacrificial mechanism exists in our world, allowing for value exchanges that may not necessarily be positive. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
