— Robert Collier
4. Term Of The Day 📚
Market Correction
📖Definition: A market correction is a short-term drop of 10% or more from a recent high.
📊 Why it matters: Corrections are natural and can reset overheated markets, often creating buy-the-dip opportunities.
💡 Example: If the NASDAQ falls from 19,500 to 17,550, that’s a correction.
5. Song Of The Day 🎧
Track: “New Atlantis” – Brian Eno
🎶 Why it hits: Calm and immersive, this ambient track sets the tone for deep work or slow, thoughtful mornings.
