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”
We believe that we communicate with each other by exchanging text messages through mobile messengers without ever having to meet in person. Furthermore, we believe that property rights to land are simply changed by altering the name on the land document without physically moving the property. A transaction can only take place if you first conceptualize it. There’s no deal if you don’t get others on your side by conceptualizing your assets. The “assetization of value” that prices an asset creates a transaction target, and the conceptualization of that target makes it a transactionable credit. To succeed in business, you must be good at conceptualizing assets and assetizing values that others quickly agree upon. That’s the basis. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
