Just my thoughts #0649

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”

Just my thoughts #0192

Eco bags are not eco-friendly. In 2007, the eco-bags, which British designer Anya Hindmarch printed, “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” on canvas, sold out 20,000 copies in 30 minutes at a limited edition price of 5 pounds. The project reduced the use of plastic bags by 58% over the next two years in Britain. However, a survey by the British Environment Agency found that consumers used paper bags at least 3 times more to have less environmental impact than plastic bags and used eco bags 131 times more to help protect the environment. In 2018, Denmark also announced a study that indicated people used plastic bags at least 37 times, paper bags 43 times, and eco bags 7,100 times before being discarded to recover from pollution. Yes, the facts that people believe have cheated us all. Materials and consumption are necessary, but people belatedly realized that environmental protection should also consider product use cycles and production. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
