Headline:
“Thinking” = Irrelevant + Meaningless + Worthless…Without Conforming Actions.
**************************
Consider How Many Times Per/Day You Begin A Verbal Expression With “I Think…”
Which Implies That Your Thought[s]…At That Moment…Are Merely PASSIVE OPINION[S]…
Defined As…
“A View Or Judgment Formed About Something…Not Necessarily Based On Fact Or Knowledge.”
**************************
So Then…Unless Specifically Asked For Your Opinion…
Why Do So Many/So Frequently….
Volunteer The Worst Type Of Opinion?
That Is…The Dreaded “Unsolicited Opinion...”
Dreaded For 2 Primary Reasons =
1. Unsolicited = Nobody Likes To Be Lectured.
2. Opinions = Not Necessarily Based On Facts And/Or Knowledge.
Thus…Most Unsolicited Opinions = Best Suited For The Trash…
Since They Are Likely…Both Annoying + Inaccurate.
**************************
In Contrast…Most Successful ACTION[S] Result From The Following Sequence:
1. Curiosity/Interest +
2. Fact Based Research +
3. Outline Course Of Action[s] +
4. Execute Project/Task
…Rather Than The Predominantly…
1. Imprecise +
2. Righteous +
3. Sloppy +
4. Uninformed
Unsolicited OPINION[S].
**************************
Notably…The Opinion[s] Are Subsequently Displaced By Passivity…
Since Unsolicited Opinion-ators =
Largely Incapable Of Transmitting Opinion[s] Into Legitimate + Productive Action[s]/Solutions…
As Their Intellectual Ammunition…Customarily…Lacks A Firing Pin.
**************************
Yet…For Some Reason…The Opinion-ators Keep Opinion-ating…
Seemingly Believing/Perceiving Their Opinions Provide Some Value.
Because…Why Else Share The Opinion[s]?
Perhaps The Social Media Engagements…
1. Emojis +
2. Forwards +
3. Hashtags +
4. Likes…
Embolden And Validate Their Opined Views.
But A 1 Character Stamp Of Approval…
Does Not Necessarily Imply Value.
**************************
Especially Because Opinion-ator Views Are Usually Offered For Free.
And If “It” [The Opinion] Is Offered At No Cost…
Then Those Giving “It” Away…Do Not Value “It”.
**************************
In Fact…The Unsolicited Opinion Is Worth Even Less Than The Di Minimis Merit Assigned To It By The Opinion-ator…
As…The Opinion…Actually Produces Negative Value…
Since The Substantially…
1. Annoying +
2. Inaccurate +
3. Proffered
Opinion[s]…Selfishly Consume Finite + Prized Time Of The Listener[s] …
And…Time = Money.
**************************
Not Surprisingly…Unsolicited Opinions Rage Like A Swollen River On Wall Street.
Endless + Redundant Speculations Regarding Future Price Directions Of Financial Assets…Primarily…
1. Bonds +
2. Commodities +
3. Equities +
4. Real Estate
…And Are Delivered…Almost 24/7…
By Both The Buy Side + The Sell Side.
**************************
The Vast Financial Media Then Piles On…
Repeatedly Regurgitating Retreaded Opinions By…
1. Hosting +
2. Interviewing +
3. Parsing
The Opinions Of The Vain Opinion-ators…
To Principally Fill “Air-Time” With A Tsunami Of Tiresome Platitudes.
**************************
So…Will You Or Won’t You…
Filter Out ALL The B.S. + Noisy “Unsolicited Opinions” On Wall Street?
And Just Boldly + Judiciously… Commit L/S Capital.
Because Simply Having An Opinion + “Thinking” About Future Price Directions Of Financial Assets…
Bereft Of Monetary Action =
A SENSELESS WASTE OF BRAIN-POWER.
