Market and Salability: The value of a commodity cannot outperform the market. For example, no matter how high a stock’s price may be, it will eventually converge to the overall stock market index. After creating an ETF, which is a financial product that tracks the stock market or a specific industry’s stock index, the ETF was introduced into the stock market, and this is a fact that humanity has only recently recognized. The fact that individual stock prices cannot outperform the stock market. It’s a market adaptation, not market research. Market research is not conducted to beat the market, but to adapt to it properly. It’s about understanding your products or services to adapt to the current market rather than solely focusing on product or service quality. If you align with the market rather than oppose it, you will ultimately achieve success. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Jesus taught, “If you got slapped your right cheek, turn the other cheek.” One of the actions that the Jewish Qumran community denied and forbade was “pointing with the left hand.” Violations of this rule brought sanctions from the community. To hit the right cheek means the opponent strikes with an unclean left or right backhand. This cheek slap is deliberately insulting and humiliating rather than merely a pain-inflicting action. Therefore, this teaching of Jesus, “turn the other cheek,” suggests not allowing oneself to be struck by the back of the hand and can signify not being helpless but being active in nonviolent resistance without seeking revenge or retaliation. Perhaps this teaching carries a frightening meaning. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
