Just my thoughts #0741

Demand > supply = price increases, demand < supply = price decreases. We all know that the laws of supply and demand set prices. This rule also applies to stock trading; however, there is a high probability of error when using this rule to judge the volume balance of buy/sell stocks in the limit order book. The key factor is the ‘remaining volume (balance).’ The volumes of stocks listed on the limit order book are meant for trading, but traders can manipulate some of the specified prices for illegal purposes. Additionally, in an uptrend, the seller submits a higher price, and the transaction is not executed immediately. Conversely, in a downtrend, the buyer sets a price to buy at a lower price, allowing the unsold balance to accumulate. In the limit order book, the principle works in reverse. Of course, it cannot be applied 100% in every case. - 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”
