investing in love. . .

Being in love and the stock market? Are there any similarities? Can you use the same principles of in trading or investing to the game of love? To get a good stock you have to be patient and of course you need time and capital for that. Im not being materialistic here but i am just trying to point out the similarities between the two! for value investing way of thinking Well one you should devote a lot of time to the girl, court her, bring her flowers, give her chocolates, call her(youre gonna burn a lot of prepaid cards for this) and text her. You have to be there when she needs you and even if she doesnt need you! The price you have to pay to be a guy! Tsktsktsk so thats capital and time or if you want to call it commitment. Just like in stocks and especially value investing you have to be committed to owning the stock of the company for years in order to see its true potential! Again id like to quote mr warren buffett “when owning a good stock time is your best friend, but when owning a bad stock time is your worst enemy!” phew! How i wish this was true in real life. But sad to say that its different because as they say it takes a lifetime to get to know a person! After 5years of getting married you just found out that your partner is a cleptomaniac, or an ax murderer, or a nymphomaniac(this could actually be beneficial for you in some ways hehe), or maybe after how many years of being together you just found out that the kid you claimed as your own is not really yours after all! Isnt that tragic if you find that out? In stocks these risks are also present but.... you can minimize it by careful study and research. Or if you want you can be a tsupitero or a short term trader! Hehehe what does that mean? Meaning you jump from one relationship to the next after you take profit. :) in real life what does that make you? Hehehe a swinger? Hehehe in short term trading you look for volume in the stock to be able to push up the price of the stock. In real life you need good looks and smooth talking to be able to get the girl you desire in a short span of time and after achieving your objective you could now get out of the relationship and find your next target! :) but one thing is common for the value investor and tsupitero lover you need to find the right time to find the right girl and approach her. :) in life everything happens for a reason but the problem is that we dont know the reason why! Tsktsktsktsk life its just so complicated! :) but that is what makes life so beautiful! :)

the next problem is how to find the right partner. You can have certain criterias for stocks like it has a low price/earnings ratio, high volume, big caps, blue chip, dirt cheap and whatever qualities you like. You could also have certain qualities that you look for in your partner but the question is that it doesnt mean that you have found the qualities that you look for in your partner it doesnt mean that your relationship with him/her will work out. Thats the sad part in the game of love..... you might have found the perfect partner but it doesnt mean that you have found the perfect pair..... it takes more than Just lovE to make a RelaTionship work, but well we must admit that love makes everything easier for how can one be patient if he/she doesnt love their pair? :) the conclusion is this in the end being in a relationship is about commitment and not about love. For the human brain and feelings are so complex that you cant quantify it. Its not like earnings of companies, the assets of companies or the obligations of companies for these things can be quantified or be given value. We never know whats going on in a person's mind or the feelings that one would like to express for if we do then all relationships wouldnt have any problems then. :) some of the things needed to make a better partnership are trust, love, patience and respect. When all the things mentioned are present a relationship will have a better chance of surviving and will have a positive impact in the lives of the persons involved! :)
