Monday Feeling

Price is not value. Price is simply a clearing mechanism. Trade releases value when both the buyer and seller feel better off. What the individual value is, is irrelevant if both parties feel good about the deal. The price doesn’t have to be “right”. This only works when there is full transparency, understanding, and consent. When the “Monday Feeling” is still that it was a good deal. When the trade is relational rather than transactional, and no one is being hoodwinked by a manipulative story. Forced Sellers or Forced Buyers have no choice but to trade. The Price pops in the opposite direction to their sense of its value. They lose all negotiating power. If you don’t have the power to walk away from a trade, it isn’t really a trade. Building Buffers helps avoid that situation. Space to breathe. Space to take your time about a decision, until you feel sufficiently empowered. There is seldom a good reason to rush.
