Brushing his teeth while c449134182 checking his stock app, e2155cb563 Do-won frowned at the fb0126774a chart glowing blue. The market wasn’t 770465811d doing well today. Since there 80e796e493 hadn’t been d86f6bbc69 any major 46ae767346 issues recently, 5c95f543b9 he hadn’t 138471f6ae been paying 7295d7934d close attention—only bfa99c7a29 to be 76520ad1ed hit with a8abcdaf55 a sudden c28bc50c85 downturn.7b99937351792c70

Then, splashing cold water a47626b9ba on his face, he c36db33e6b muttered to himself, “I’m dc0026e387 a long-term investor… I e1b755902b focus on a company’s c932b1fcc2 value….”89b90da162059193

After his elective 02652218d1 lecture, Do-won scanned a1217f9a08 through his group 205a9be0d2 members’ printouts during be9103b160 their meeting and 781124a716 found himself at cfc083c1a5 a loss for 78f3fdb0a5 words.
