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”
If the means of value exchange is recognized only in the fiat currency issued by the government, the accumulation of wealth that has taken place can only be expressed in terms of value versus fiat currency. Due to the limited quantity of money, if I make money, someone will lose it. In other words, my profit is someone’s loss. Of course, the opposite is also true. Therefore, it is said that currency possesses the property of ‘goods’ whose value changes according to market functions. So, is there a structure where everyone can gain profits, rather than a game where someone loses while someone else earns? This essence will not change, but the methods by which productivity grows and the ability to create added value will improve, creating the best win-win system in the current scenario. If we must share a pizza, making a larger pizza itself is akin to making everyone happier than before. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
