"株はあなたがそれを所有していることを知りません。"
— Jim Cramer
Simplified Meaning:
When you own stocks, the stocks themselves don't know or care that you bought them. They will go up or down in value based on market conditions, not because you own them. Imagine buying a car—whether you're the owner or not, the car will still function the same way. In the stock market, how much you paid for the shares, your expectations, or your personal financial situation doesn't affect the stock's performance. For example, if you buy shares in a company thinking it will make you rich, the shares might still drop in value because of wider market trends or the company’s performance issues. This idea teaches you not to get too emotionally attached to your investments; instead, make decisions based on logical analysis and market information.
