The concept of “going concern” in accounting emphasizes that a business must persist into the future to retain its value. This principle signifies that present value already incorporates expectations of future value; thus, a business facing uncertainty about its future will inevitably diminish in present value. It highlights the interconnectedness of present and future values, suggesting that they cannot be regarded in isolation. All stocks traded on the stock market are priced based on their anticipated future value. In essence, we trade on a future that has yet to materialize. Consequently, determining how far into the future to evaluate is a critical factor in making investment decisions. Since individuals have varying skills and perspectives on forecasting the future, selecting an investment strategy must align with one’s attitude toward time. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Wealth is accumulating the added value created through value exchange into assets. Here are three key concepts. 1. Value Exchange 2. Value Added 3. Assets. To be wealthy is to increase assets. For an asset to grow, it must exchange value with others and, as a result, add value comes from. First of all, value exchange. Even geniuses starve unless they exchange value. Value exchange is not an idea, it is an action. You can never create wealth if your thoughts are good but don't act. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
