When we must regain our calm

This week, the stock mar­ket has suf­fe­red a right fall. Let’s have a look. Like many of you, I have a few dol­lars in the stock mar­ket. I must admit that I have no idea what is going on in this indus­try. Like many of you, I have faith. Faith in my govern­ment to tell me that this is the right thing to do, faith in my finan­cial advi­sors to tell me that I have to put this money away.

Just as conflicts are a part of human life, stock mar­ket fluc­tua­tions are a part of finan­cial mar­kets. What bothers us the most, I would say, is that just like the envi­ron­ment, it is one of the two sys­tems that impacts all of us based on the beha­viour of others. Ima­gine if your neigh­bours who argue eve­ry day come into your home during their argu­ment, cause damage, and then go back home, without giving you a pen­ny for the repairs. That’s how the stock mar­ket and the envi­ron­ment work.

The nice thing about finan­cial mar­kets is that it is ins­tan­ta­neous, whe­reas, when it comes to the envi­ron­ment, which works in the same way, it is very slow. It’s fun­ny how the for­mer creates so many emo­tions, while the lat­ter leaves many people indifferent.
