Your stocks portfolio took a 50% dive; it blew you to smithereens. Don’t fret! The markets do come back home to roost. This hurdle is a mere speed-bump, and you lose your sleep over it. Not worth the headache.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The global financial capital markets are in a tumultuous free fall due to predecessors favouring short-term profits over long-term gains. That’s how mysterious “they made it that way”<\/strong> is the only excuse the society gravitates towards accepting the status quo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a false notion that has brought about the demise of many enterprising corporations to a swift end. As the late Steve Jobs used to say, “you can only connect the dots looking backwards.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2008 financial crash brought about colossal changes to the financial services, whereby a new breed of financial technology companies, aka ‘fintech,’ startups made their foray into reforming the broken fiscal system, which had systemic risks artificially baked into it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most sane corporate executives are blowing the long-term thinking horn because they have realized that short-term, quarterly cadence pressure puts a damper on unlocking the true monetary value of a business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many of you may not have heard of LTSE yet. Long-Term Stock Exchange(LTSE) is a challenger stock exchange focused on solving the dreaded short-term problem by enforcing a corporation’s hand to a binding agreement toward long-term success. Full disclosure: Longtrepreneur has no financial, personal, or professional interest in mentioning the LTSE. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When these new breeds of fintech startups successfully build the reimagined financial layer of the society, it will move the short-term laden financial system to the curb, making way for the new and equalized financial services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The annals of the corporate world, industry pundits, end-users and onlookers are watching to see how all this plays out. We are rooting for anyone in the financial sector trying to bring about a progressive change that the world deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo by Annie Spratt on Unsplash<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your stocks portfolio took a 50% dive; it blew you to smithereens.
