Market and Salability: The value of a commodity cannot outperform the market. For example, no matter how high a stock’s price may be, it will eventually converge to the overall stock market index. After creating an ETF, which is a financial product that tracks the stock market or a specific industry’s stock index, the ETF was introduced into the stock market, and this is a fact that humanity has only recently recognized. The fact that individual stock prices cannot outperform the stock market. It’s a market adaptation, not market research. Market research is not conducted to beat the market, but to adapt to it properly. It’s about understanding your products or services to adapt to the current market rather than solely focusing on product or service quality. If you align with the market rather than oppose it, you will ultimately achieve success. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Information asymmetry happens when buyers and sellers have different levels of information, leading to adverse selection in the market. Adverse selection occurs when one party, either the buyer or the seller, has hidden information about the product and makes buying or selling decisions based on that information. For example, in the used car market , buyers cannot know everything about the cars and cannot fully trust them. Because of this, they often try to buy used cars at lower prices to evaluate their quality. To make buyers feel more confident, sellers might promise to repair the car free of charge if it breaks within a year after purchase, protecting themselves against adverse selection. A successful transaction depends on strategies that align with the market’s specific characteristics. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

The only things that have adapted to the market are “products or services.” Any product or service on the market undergoes an adaptation process involving customers and distributors. Not adapting to the market is merely an idea. Adaptation is great, not brilliant ideas. Anything that attempts to distribute something to the market survives only when it has been adapted successfully. Adaptation involves adjusting, improving, deleting, and organizing. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Business isn’t about making an idea come true; it’s about validating it. No ideas or plans are perfect from the beginning. The market’s reaction develops and refines the idea over time. Many individuals mistakenly believe that a business idea will be perfect if they tinker with it repeatedly or that this will enhance their chances of success through their efforts. We may not know ourselves well, but how should we know our business intimately? Don’t gamble; try, correct, and adapt quickly. A business doesn’t start with knowledge; rather, knowledge is gained through starting. So, begin by breaking it down into smaller parts from the outset. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

It doesn’t make it sell well; it’s about choosing and focusing on what has sold well. You can expect it to sell well, but you can’t predict that it will sell well. Conversely, it’s much wiser to put it on the market to see if it genuinely sells well while holding your expectations, and then discard it if it doesn’t sell, focusing only on what does sell well and developing it further. Thoughts are crucial, but they don’t create any wealth. Market choices create wealth. Start small and try to manage your risk. Don’t gamble; instead, verify. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

There are markets where demand generates supply, while there are markets where supply must generate demand. Las Vegas, a city in the middle of the desert, is a business structure that creates demand from supply. Supplying gambling rooms simultaneously generates the operating income of the gambling room and profits from hotels, transportation, restaurants, and shopping. In a poor business environment, you need to review the essence of your business. If you try without structural change, you will likely tire, and it isn’t easy to expect improvement. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

A newborn baby instinctively sucks its mother’s milk for survival, regardless of whether it learns this behavior. Chewing is also instinctual. The product that aligns with this chewing instinct is “gum.” While it involves chewing, it doesn’t equate to eating. Producing gum is a simple way to generate profit, given its common and low-cost nature. Therefore, the price of gum reflects the cost of chewing, differing from the prices of drinks and food. Since these items are consumed together, they exist in separate markets. The defining factor that separates these markets is “price.” Even if the products are similar, they operate within entirely different markets. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Anything consigned to the open market is likely to be distorted. Stocks, commodities, real estate, ideas, and even intentions lose their original intent, purpose, and value when released into the market. Since every market participant has different intentions and perspectives, it is natural that everything in the open market is distorted. Therefore, the idea that if you do your best, you will succeed is a superstition. If your efforts are gnawing at your soul, don't try your best anymore. Instead, it's far better to love yourself, to cherish yourself, and to comfort yourself. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
