A well- managed fund performing at the rate of the market should expect a return of $50B resulting in a fund sized around $230B at year end.<br/>If a hypothetical, poorly managed investment fund gained, say, a paltry 7.5% on such a generously giving market year, they should get a return of around $14B and final fund total of $194B at year end. <br/>Counted in billions, 14 can appear a big number unless weighed against its absence of return. The poorly managed fund has actually incurred a short-term “loss of gains” in a rarely generous year of around $35B.<br/>In the long term, over say the next ten years, that loss of $35B increases, at a yearly return of the initial paltry 7.5% (normally good for an underperforming year), to roughly double or $70B.<br/>Fortunately, if the hypothetical fund continues under its current mismanagement, the ten-year 7.5% return is unlikely, thereby reducing the “missed out on” $70B to around $40B as best, or in this case worst, result from an extreme hypothesis of missing funds during one calendar year. Such “loss of gains” exaggerated annually accumulate to massive losses of squandered opportunity over decades.<br/>In the real world, it is merely $14B thanks to the generous “hard to lose” market year, and the loss of opportunity goes unchecked while the pennies get counted.<br/>#how #money #works 2026-04-04T21:24:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqvu5maqvq2d5rg34lwqkljrrnxcj03jze3r8puv4fgtnckwu72kczypzmupds7z8w6d8ksfynal03lepahpy0rw3dmfmu99k5am28k7ntcc8het0 AI response to the writer, “go write your own book then.”<br/><br/>#writing #creativity #ai 2026-03-31T16:12:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw8ap94y8asc99vech52p8eq3qtsljnvaesw6uq98myjjg7pvn6ggzypzmupds7z8w6d8ksfynal03lepahpy0rw3dmfmu99k5am28k7ntc6j7c6a In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqfmaju4hw75gn747ul6rmh6ufpgjtyt2cmyy7j4z6q0z9fvdmvust6tyvm'>nevent1q…tyvm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>like hallucinations, humor naturally occurred without explanation. 2026-02-08T15:43:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqfmaju4hw75gn747ul6rmh6ufpgjtyt2cmyy7j4z6q0z9fvdmvuszypzmupds7z8w6d8ksfynal03lepahpy0rw3dmfmu99k5am28k7ntcsk7ymx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfk7dus45thmr6fzejkh8psy49w9vcjfftenq3ugej4ppf5g8tfasu5h56m'>nevent1q…h56m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Author Recommended: employing the topic of artificial writing, subtle humor inescapably emerged within the story. 2026-02-08T15:29:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx52696u702waup2gacf4dn32dknvw4zfjveqn8zaqzh7ehvqymdgzypzmupds7z8w6d8ksfynal03lepahpy0rw3dmfmu99k5am28k7ntclwr94y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfk7dus45thmr6fzejkh8psy49w9vcjfftenq3ugej4ppf5g8tfasu5h56m'>nevent1q…h56m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Simultaneity Betrayed is not: a bestseller; popularly known; ever to be made into film or series; much promoted; well-received; a title anyone else has heard of; an editor’s choice; on the shelf of a bookstore; for everyone; likely to be much read.<br/><br/>This book is: the achievement of a longstanding personal ambition to create one or few decent to good books. <br/>At its least, this is one. 2026-02-03T14:58:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxfxujat7v2fpl78cek2z75cyltustnk4wfth5t5wlx2nr2fenl7gzypzmupds7z8w6d8ksfynal03lepahpy0rw3dmfmu99k5am28k7ntcl4xwwx Walking on Stones, Novel<br/>A bit scary in its implications.<br/><br/>Coincidence of Chance, Novel<br/>About artificial writing and its realization.<br/>(By popular demand, soon to be re-released under new title.)<br/><br/>Systemic Evolutions, Nonfiction<br/>Written from within a highly politicized world.<br/><br/>#writing #books #novels 2026-01-24T15:36:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswq4rc70t9r7c8vhu5l5q2j2acu0y8nqhuurj8ghtk7702jcsshtgzypzmupds7z8w6d8ksfynal03lepahpy0rw3dmfmu99k5am28k7ntck9c00p Any fascistic-like transition from effective democracy necessitates severe recession.
