The most important rule in investing is not to lose your initial capital. Making money comes later. If you lose 50% of your principal, the loss rate is 50%, but to recover that principal, you need a 100% return. This is because the baseline of your return—the principal—has already been halved. Many people tend to think that if they’ve lost 50%, they only need a 50% return to break even. However, this is a misunderstanding of the starting point. In investing, the baseline is always the original principal. The principal after a loss is no longer the same; it’s already in the past. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
With social media, we assume that we see and hear what we want to see and hear. But the truth is, we see and listen to what the system shows and listens to us. Uncontrolled systems distort inefficiencies and the purpose for which they were created. So the algorithm is loaded into the system. We do not enjoy freedom. It is only considered "free" in the context of control. - Joseph’s "just my thoughts”
