Energy is the ultimate currency.

If your energy is joy, you radiate joy.

But some energies indicate 'lack' in some dusty corner of your life.

The key is this; be acutely aware of your wants and needs.

Our intuition is more powerful than we think.

Me? My energy is Kid.😄

People always say that time is the ultimate currency. That is complete BS…

Energy is the ULTIMATE currency. So what if you have all the time in the world but no energy (or good health) to enjoy any it?

@alma18499 Hi Alma, thank you for the post.
Controversial opinion though, I preferred you when you were tweeting on this platform.

1. It was free
2. It was concise.

I know math is your passion, but the full prof mode in substack can be a little hard to catch.

Hope it helps

@alma18499 @alma18499 you are a woman of statistics, you wld know. In an online space, rotten apples can be that 1 percent. If you let that 1% affect your mood & your judgement, as compared to the 99% that are grateful for your advice, then you are practicing the Pareto principle in reverse

@alma18499 Hi @alma18499 , I feel the key stuff is good enough for me; I'm learning to work around the key support and resistance levels that you provide (with risk management of course)

I'm indebted to you

I'm sorry I'm unable to donate cause I have a small account 😅

"John D. Rockefeller" became the world's first billionaire and was known as the Oil Tycoon for controlling 90% of Oil through his Standard Oil Company.

He used ruthless and aggressive business tactics to eliminate any rivals which led to the collapse of his empire.

Let's know more of his past life and how he created such a powerful empire.

hmm, throwing an idea here.

how about not raising prices PLUS giving grocery stores volume based incentives to operate?

[Robert Sterling @RobertMSterling]

People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America.

I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen:

1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices.

2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t allowed to raise prices.

3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse.

4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity.

5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart.

6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms.

7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms.

8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so.

9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks.

10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities.

11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers” from gouging the now-government-operated food industry.

12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding.

13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue.

3) Focus on where the value of your investment portfolio will be in 5 to 10 years (or more). If you are invested in HIGH QUALITY businesses, you should expect that your portfolio will double in value in 3 years (24% annualised) to 5 years (15% annualised). In 10 years, your portfolio should be 4X to 9X more than the value today.

When you focus on the destination, the temporary downs in price should not bother you at all. In fact, you should be looking at it as a chance to add more to your portfolio. When the pilot knows that he will eventually land at his destination, he does not freak out over the turbulence.

4) Your words affect your thoughts and your thoughts affect your emotions and actions. Avoid using words like ‘ bloodbath’, ‘I lost $XXX”, ‘ Portfolio bleeding’. These words create negative emotions as they assume that you have lost something and that your investments are declining in value

5) Avoid saying ‘ I should have sold before the drop’. There is no way to consistently predict short term price moves in the market. By entertaining this thought, you will likely sell in panic whenever stocks start to dip down slightly or when a market ‘expert’ predicts a drop in the future. As a result, you will never stay invested in the markets long enough to compound your wealth.

6) Use temporary stock market corrections to add more shares to high quality businesses that you want to own more of. You can never predict how long a correction will last or when the exact bottom is. So, it is best to buy in small tranches to average in your position until it’s fully allocated into a well diversified portfolio.

If you are already fully allocated and/or you have no more cash to deploy, IGNORE the temporary market price and go watch a movie on Netflix instead. Come back a few weeks or months later and you would have likely forgotten that a market correction even occurred.
