Stock investment is categorized into short-term and long-term strategies. As with all investments, the success of an asset is determined at the time of purchase, not when you sell it. Short-term investing involves buying stocks at low prices, while long-term investing focuses on buying based on the overall price trend. These two approaches embody different investment philosophies. The first factor to consider when developing an investment strategy is time—the duration of the investment. Valuation and investment methods vary depending on the length of the investment horizon. - 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”
