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”
Frugality and efficiency are complementary and must be balanced. Emphasizing savings can reduce efficiency, while emphasizing efficiency can lead to waste. In the world, when you emphasize one aspect, unintended side effects often occur in unexpected areas. Although they are invisible, various elements of the world are closely interconnected, and there are many situations in which humans do not understand these relationships. Achieving a balance among all elements at the proper level is a significant challenge. Leaders are those who undertake this difficult work. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
