Contradictions and Possibilities: As long as ‘spear’ and ‘shield’ exist simultaneously in this world, contradictions will inevitably occur. Contradictions are not problems to be eliminated entirely but rather things to be utilized and adapted. A contradiction is merely a logical confusion, not a flaw. The key feature of contradiction is that it exposes possibilities and opportunities, as long as it is not limited by logic. In other words, a contradiction is simply a state, not a final conclusion or decision. During a contradiction, the direction in which it progresses presents an opportunity to discover new possibilities or opportunities. When facing a contradiction, it’s important to carefully analyze why this state has been reached. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

You should buy stocks when they are cheap and sell them when they are high to make a profit. However, is this principle only applicable to stocks? All assets should be purchased when they are inexpensive and sold when they are at a high value to create and maintain wealth. Stock prices are easier to fall than to rise. Temptation leads to fear, and fear leads to temptation. People want to buy something that is becoming expensive (or has its price inflated) and sell it quickly because they fear the price will drop. Of course, if the fear is too intense, it becomes challenging to act, so you may refrain from selling even though you know the price will decline further. If this is instinct, then buying and selling stocks should be reversed. Stock prices are more complicated to rise but easier to fall. The rise in price occurs because the performance value must act as the energy for the stock. Therefore, stocks should be viewed as good to buy rather than good to sell. A stock’s fate is ...

When stating that prices have risen, it signifies that something else has decreased in price. If house prices are up by 10%, then something else indicates that the price is down by 10%. What is this “something else”? It is the value of money –a number derived from converting the value of an inflationary object into a currency. As the prices of goods increase, the value of money decreases correspondingly. If the object is compared in value to something other than currency, then something else that has increased in value compared to the object has depreciated in value. Most values are expressed in currency, so if the price of an object relative to currency rises, the value of the currency is relatively low. Therefore, if you receive cash from sales, wealth is created and preserved only when you exchange it for something else that is appreciating in value compared to cash. If you keep the cash intact, you will undoubtedly become poorer. Wealth is always a relative concept, not an absolut...
