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”

Just my thoughts #0501

When you are betrayed and hurt by someone, there are times when you want to hide or be alone in silence. You want to cut yourself off from the world and just live in your own space. You don’t want to harm others, and you don’t want to be hurt either. At this point, temptation arises. The desire to choose a solitary, self-sufficient way of life is stirring. Never choose to be self-sufficient. As time goes by, it becomes more difficult for you, the one who has been hurt, and the likelihood of further injuries increases. Self-sufficiency is not the life we are meant to live today. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Compared to the era of a self-sufficient barter economy , everyone’s happiness is greater in the exchange economy , where each person divides their labor into what they do best and exchanges what they produce. This is because the division of labor is more efficient than self-sufficiency in productivity and can further reduce production costs. At this point, a means of exchange agreed upon by society is required, which is called money (currency). In other words, in the exchange economy, specialists who excel in one field are more advantageous for survival than ordinary people. An all-round player is more likely to face starvation. Therefore, a generalist is only advantageous for survival when they can organically integrate their diverse abilities in a specific field or situation, while also managing and restricting the scope of their activities and conditions. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
