“Buy and hold on for dear life” has officially taken on a whole new meaning. Rather than holding on for dear life, cryptocurrency investors will be closely guarding their Bitcoin to milk the coins for all they are worth. Yesterday, Bitcoin managed to beat its previous all-time high in January 2018 by breaking through the […]
No American Tourists = BILLIONS in Losses for Countries
While the desire to travel is prevalent around the world, you would be shocked in realizing that Americans play a heavy hand in keeping the international tourism industry well and alive. The hard data backs this up, according to data taken from the US National Travel & Tourism Office. When travel insurance comparison site InsureMyTrip […]
$2 Mil In Two Weeks
I haven’t even raised two million in two years. Gotta take some notes from Cindy Bi. Cindy’s most known for her feat of starting and selling a hardware business all while working FT at Accenture. Full of spit and vinegar, she then convinced her job to let her tap into their evergreen fund and invest […]
Yale Is Shakin’ Up the VC World
Wow. Yale’s making some big moves when it comes to their $32 billion endowment that famed investor David Swenson has been in charge of since 1985. What happened? Swensen told their money managers (all 70 of them) that Yale will be tracking their yearly progress at diversifying the investment staff. No improvement? No more cash […]
Eh, Who Needs a Store Anyway?
Or rather, a storefront. Apparently, business owners aren’t too hip on having a brick-and-mortar, physical store anymore. Bluehost, the website and marketing provider, just released a survey that showed most small business owners have fully transitioned online or created e-commerce stores. Almost half of all business owners said brick-and-mortar is out (aka they don’t need […]
Can Generation Z Achieve Financial Prosperity?
The youngest generation, soon to become fully independent adults, have a lot of expectations to meet up to. After all of the jokes and trends of millennials struggling to make a life for themselves, you have to wonder if Generation Z (ages 13-17) will be able to beat the stereotypes and restore the vision of […]
The Great Firewall of China
And Instagram, and Google, and Twitter! It’s a party. We all know China’s pretty strict on the websites and apps their citizens can use while in Chinese territory, which is why normally they don’t have access to our favorite social and search platforms. An app called Tuber launched on Friday and gave Chinese internet users […]
Stock Market Rally Is UNSTOPPABLE
It’s really a sight to behold… we know for a FACT that a second round of stimulus funding isn’t happening until after the November 3rd presidential election. And there is increasing uncertainty around contesting the election results. But apparently this doesn’t faze the stock market at all, which is projected to continue rallying. At least […]
It’s a Real Life CEO Confessional
Once again, Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook CEO), Sundar Pichai (Alphabet CEO), and Jack Dorsey (Twitter CEO) are headed for Congress’s confessional to voluntarily testify on October 28th over social media regulation. Don’t think they’re being sweet and innocent by voluntarily testifying, either. Congress agreed last Thursday to go through the subpoena process, so the CEOs are […]
Freelancing: The Financial Escape from an Economic Recession?
Look, here’s the deal: Freelancing is here to stay, at least in the US. With nearly 60 million of freelancers in the workforce already, making up 39% of the total American labor market, more people are ditching the 9-to-5 climb-the-corporate-ladder path in exchange for something that gives them more control of their time. But outside […]
