The Law of Profit

The Law of Profit is as essential to the stock market, as the Law of Gravity is to people living on Earth. It regulates everything. It doesn't matter what someone may be offering to you, it doesn’t matter how perfect they seem, how little they ask of you. In the end, nobody invests in anything unless they think they can profit from it. The only variables are what kind of profit they are seeking, and how long are they willing to sit on their investment before it matures. Any way you look at it, the goal is always the same.

Visualize every single person you know, or have gone out with, or slept with, as a company producing goods and services. Like any company, each of these people are in the pursuit of personal profit.

While personal profit can come in many shapes and forms, (some want to get laid for one night, others are seeking marriage with kids, and yet others want someone to parade in public by their arm) the overall reward can be summed up in one word: ego. Every single transaction in the sexual stock market takes place in the pursuit of strengthening our ego, pumping up our self esteem, and strengthening the value of our company in the market. Ego is the driving engine propelling a company’s activity, the equivalent of the shareholder boards of the companies trading in the financial markets.

To keep our ego (shareholders) satisfied, we will cook our accounting books, lie, improve our health and appearance, bad mouth former associates (ex-boyfriends) we no longer do business with, and vanquish anyone whose interests conflict with ours.

Investments come and go, but no matter what, the ego must always be fed.
