Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.
Africa’s stock markets still have an enormous opportunity for growth. 🌍📈
South Africa dominates with a market cap of about $1.44 trillion, while Nigeria and Morocco are above $100 billion. But look further down the list and you see how small many African capital markets still are.
The opportunity is not just to create more companies it is to create larger, scalable African businesses and deeper capital markets capable of financing them.
Africa needs more people investing in African businesses. 🇿🇦🇳🇬🇲🇦🇿🇼
Retail investor: I could never hold through a real crash. I'd fold.
Me: You know $META fell from $382 to $89, right? Late 2021 to November 2022.
Retail investor: I remember. Everyone said the company was finished.
Me: 77% down. "Zuckerberg burned it all on the metaverse." Headlines were brutal. & at $89... would YOU have bought?
Retail investor: Honestly? No shot. It felt like it was going to zero.
Me: That's the thing. It was still printing billions in profit at $89. The fundamental BUSINESS value wasn't down 77%... the share price was. Very different... Price fell way below fair value.
Retail investor: & then?
Me: It ran to almost $750 now... Roughly 732% off that low. One of the biggest recoveries in market history... & everyone who "could never hold" sold it to someone who could.
Retail investor: 732%. Man...
Me: The crash felt like the end of the world... It was the sale of the decade.
When great companies fall way below fair value, that's the moment to get bullish... not panic.
@croc_mar Good point but ZSE and VFEXDirect apps are already available since 5 years ago. How much engagement do you see on posts from Justin VFEX, ZSE, brokers @EFESECURITIES@IH_Group@fincentcapital? People would rather follow influencers
