Just my thoughts #0827

Numbers and Management: Without numbers, a business can’t grow beyond a certain point. Here’s a simple example: imagine you go to the bank to get a loan because you don’t have enough cash for your operations. To qualify for a business loan , you need financial statements like balance sheets . Banks don’t lend based on looks or abilities but decide if your current financial situation is promising for the future. It’s hard to get a loan if you don’t tell a story with numbers. If you rely solely on bank deposits , you’ll spend what you have or borrow if you run out. That keeps your business running as it is, but without verifying your creditworthiness with numbers, don’t even consider borrowing from the bank. Good debt can create leverage, but bad debt can wipe out even your past gains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

I've been writing every single day for three years. I also studied to find a way to write well. Then I saw the only way for my writing to improve. It was not a technique. It wasn't even an empathic piece. It was my writing fixed over and over again. The human brains improve with repetition. Anything secret key couldn't have been more helpful.

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”

The most important aspect of investing is managing risk. However, in most cases, risk management is interpreted and assessed in relation to past patterns. When asset prices fall, the perceived risk appears significant. That doesn’t imply there weren’t risks; investors simply didn’t recognize the risks that originally existed. The level of risk is almost identical whether the price of an asset goes up or down, but when prices decline, they tend to drop further because fear prevents us from purchasing more assets, leading us to retreat. It’s not that the risk has escalated. It is unwise to link risk with past patterns. There have been numerous exceptions in the world, and many beings on this planet have disappeared because they could not adapt. Did dinosaurs not become extinct on Earth ? Exceptions are exceptions because they are unpredictable. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0717

At Berkshire Hathaway ’s 2013 shareholders’ meeting, Warren Buffett said, “I’ve owned 400 to 500 companies’ stocks in my lifetime, but only about 10 of them made the most money.” His lifelong friend and investment partner, Charlie Munger , added, “With the exception of some of Berkshire Hathaway’s best investment practices , long-term performance is near-average.” Many people know Warren Buffett’s return on investment better than his mistakes or failures. It’s because of those 10 companies that he succeeded in investing. If there is a positive, there must be a negative. It’s better to prepare a realistic alternative in case you fail than to try to avoid failing. Humans are probabilistic beings . - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
