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”
Time is wiser and smarter than humans. The reason a regular income is necessary for escaping poverty is to fully utilize time’s value . If a person without a regular income invests, they must invest with money they cannot afford to wait for, which forces them to spend the investment funds while waiting for the right opportunity. This may lead to missing a good investment. If the person has already invested, they might not be able to wait to recoup their investment , resulting in debt to others . Individuals who struggle to use their time effectively due to insufficient assets must generate a regular income unconditionally . The reason for having ample assets is to buy time . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
