なお、「給与保証プログラム(PPP)」は財政政策。従業員500人以下の企業が雇用を維持すれば、給与や賃料、光熱費など、最大1,000万ドル(約11億円)までは政府が肩代わりするという仕組み。最大6600億ドル(約73兆円規模)の融資(実態は補助)。この修正案「Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act(PPPFA)」が6月5日、トランプ大統領の署名をもって成立。
“By timing we mean the endeavor to anticipate the action of the stock market—to buy or hold when the future course is deemed to be upward, to sell or refrain from buying when the course is downward.
By pricing we mean the endeavor to buy stocks when they are quoted below their fair value and to sell them when they rise above such value.
A less ambitious form of pricing is the simple effort to make sure that when you buy you do not pay too much for your stocks. This may suffice for the defensive investor, whose emphasis is on long-pull holding; but as such it represents an essential minimum of attention to market levels.
We are convinced that the intelligent investor can derive satisfactory results from pricing of either type.
We are equally sure that if he places his emphasis on timing, in the sense of forecasting, he will end up as a speculator and with a speculator’s financial results.” – Benjamin Graham
