Stocks should be bought cheaply and sold at a high price to make a profit. Therefore, it is said that timing—specifically, the timing of buying low and the timing of selling high—is a key factor. However, the issue is that I can’t predict the timing. It’s similar to how we can’t know what the weather will be like a year from now in our area. It’s wise to assume that the best approach is to acknowledge our uncertainty about timing. Attempting to time the market is a common trap for stock investors. Consider this: if you could know the timing, you would be the wealthiest person in the world. The advantage of long-term investing is developing the ability to identify stocks that are likely to appreciate over time, despite the fluctuations in stock prices, and investing in their value. The choice is yours. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Zebra appears in the animation Madagascar. He also wants to return to his hometown because he is confused about whether he is white on a black background or black on a white background. There is no difference in the background and pattern change. In zebras, “horse” is the identity, not the striped pattern. The pattern is just a feature. Many people confuse features with identity. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
