Stocks represent trades that signify the future value of the present. The current price of a stock conveys insights about the company’s future. In essence, it involves the buying and selling of future potential. However, stock prices also reflect past performance. When a company announces its performance, it often includes disclosures about stock purchases and sales by major shareholders or executives. This practice has historical roots, but the public disclosure of such information now affects the stock’s current price. Time influences present value, whether it pertains to the past or the future. Ultimately, time is the most critical variable in asset valuation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The basis of any investment is time considerations. The same applies to stock investing . Which stocks to buy depends on whether you are holding short-term or long-term positions . The most significant mistake beginners make in stock investing is buying and selling stocks without following fundamental investment principles . When choosing stocks, they select them based on long-term potential, and when they sell, they do so based on short-term trading because they cannot overcome their impatience and fear that the stock price will decline. Such individuals should refrain from investing in stocks. Even after losing money, they remain unaware of the reasons for their losses, becoming individuals who harm themselves and others. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
