I purchased Visa at 64 dollars a share and for some reason it went down to 58. I just lost 325 in one day. Should I really care what Mr. Market is pricing the business I owned since I am now the shareholder? Do you ask how much your house is worth everyday?

Sometime Mr. Market price the business I owned at discount but sometime he is willing to pay triple the amount for my business. When he’s willing to pay triple the amount or more, I am happy to cash in. When he values my business at discount I am happy to buy more, because I did my homework; and I believe my business is sound and promising and it should be worth more.

Would you be happy if the business you owned has no quote at all, so you can think for yourself instead letting someone tell you when to buy and sell. You are no better than a slave if I am telling you when to sell and when to buy. Can you think for yourself? I am sure that Buddha or God gives you the ability to think for yourself. You feed the financial news everyday because you think this is important to you, but the fact is that it only plays with your mind.

If you let Mr. Market telling you how much he think of your business and you follow his every moves, then you are just transforming your advantage to disadvantage. You are no different from the crowd that follow Mr. Market every hour and minute on the moves he make. Why you don’t just make him the slave and you become the master?

Final Thought. If you believe that the business you own is still sound and promising, then why do you need to follow his every moves? You might answer because I am losing money. You lost because you follow Mr. Market every moves; instead of making Mr. Market your slave you did the opposite. Why you don’t ask yourself have my business changes such as job cuts, plants closing or restructuring? Is the employees well taken care from top to bottom?
