Stock prices fluctuate constantly. There are several reliable ways to mitigate stock price volatility: trading short-term gap price differences, buying and selling with momentum, or holding high-quality stocks for the long term until volatility averages out. When stock price movement is mathematically differentiated by time, the instantaneous price emerges—but humans cannot act in microseconds. In contrast, computers, with enhanced performance, can now trade at these speeds. Furthermore, by using artificial intelligence to analyze stock data, computers can reduce mistakes and trade algorithmically, unaffected by emotion. Still, even computers are limited if humans incorrectly input trading rules. Humans are not suboptimal investors due to a shortage of information or knowledge, but because they often fail to follow the necessary rules in each situation. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Conversely, this indicates that one dollar represents the intrinsic value of the goods associated with the bread. In other words, the values of money and bread (goods) are established through mutual comparison, which also implies that they do not exist independently in the world, as they are assigned absolute values from the moment of their existence. If only comparison can be made, value can be assessed regardless of whether the comparison is mandatory or voluntary, allowing the value to be expressed as a price, which is its monetary value. This suggests that there is no absolute value in the economy, only relative value , and that all values constructed through comparison are subject to fluctuations in price . Consequently, wealth involves the act of preserving or augmenting this relative value while continually exchanging for other goods as a legitimate act of trad...
