In the New Testament’s Epistle to the Galatians, Paul the Apostle wrote: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”. In slightly less devout terms, US musician Lou Reed repeated the message in 1972’s Perfect Day when he sang: “You're going to reap just what you sow.”
Shipping would be wise to remember both Paul and Reed’s advice when considering market cycles and overzealous investment in get-rich-quick schemes.
