Curious what this company is? Head to the link in our bio! At Smarty Stocks, we often often choose stocks that we believe stand to benefit from broader trends occurring in the world. We’ve written quite a bit about the impacts that the pandemic has had on the way people consume goods and services. And we’ve noted that while some trends will return to pre-pandemic norms, other changes will be lasting.

● Hybrid learning is a trend that is here to stay. The option to learn in a remote world drastically reduces costs to education. Take the example of a student who is strapped for cash, and must take out loans to pay University tuition. Let’s imagine that the best academic school he gets into is across the country. Would it make more sense for him to pay the room and board expenses, and travel expenses? Probably not. It would make way more sense for him to take those same courses from home, and save nearly $50,000 in living expenses over the course of a 4-year education.

● Like many other macro changes we’ve commented on, this is a trend that was already occurring before the pandemic, that has been greatly accelerated. Take Southern New Hampshire University as an example. SNHU was founded as an exclusively online University that did >$800 million in annual revenue before the coronavirus!

China that has a Sovereign crypto currency that is issued by their central bank, did not save her reserves in crypto currencies

Government should learn how to generate revenues from Tech company into the Economy, Regulate cry.p.to and provide facility in Nigerian University to Teach students on how to build and deploy Blockchain, cry.p.to jobs are everywhere around the world.

We missed out on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Industrial Revolutions. Going against the cry.pt.os will definitely shut us out of the 4th industrial revolution. we can harness the opportunity to save against the weak economy by saving some portions of our reserve in btc.

In 2020 over 100millions dollar in BTC was stolen from Kuco.in Exchange, they informed others Exchange around the world about it and they enable what is called Smart contract to black list the hacker address, at the end all the money was collected back from the hacker

For the first time in history Africa is going to experience Natural Economic growth because we are breaking away from Dollar to Decentralized Global currency

Firstly, you are in control of your career, and nobody else. Think about what you want to achieve and look around at what options and entry routes are open to you, and what you’ll need to do to get from where you are to where you want to be.

I recently added The ARK Next Generation Internet ETF to my portfolio...I currently only have a few shares, but I am going to look to continue to build this up to ~5% allocation.

ARKW provides exposure to technology stocks that define the "Next Generation Internet". That means stocks of companies engaged in artificial intelligence (AI), big data, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and blockchain technology.

The ETF is focused on large-cap growth stocks within the U.S. technology sector. About 39% of the fund is allocated to information technology (IT) stocks, while 33% is allocated to communication services, and 18% to the consumer discretionary sector.

The fund's top three holdings include Tesla Inc. (TSLA), an electric vehicle and clean energy company; class A shares of Roku Inc. (ROKU), a provider of wireless enabled devices that stream audio and video content from the Internet; and class A shares of Square Inc. (SQ), a provider of mobile payment solutions.

-Having the freedom to work on your own terms and working on things you are passionate about is the goal.
-However, working for yourself is not as simple as you might think.
-You need to figure out what you need to do to grow your business.
-You need discipline and hold yourself accountable.
-But if you make it happen it's one of the most rewarding things.

A popular investing strategy involves buying stocks based on previous performance. Since the stock market is forward looking, this method does not work very well.

Save this post for future reference and share with a friend!

Besides capital gains (stock price appreciation), dividend stocks can be a great way to build a passive stream of income. You would need $30k to invest in order to receive $1,000 per year in dividends for the rest of your life!

Now before you say, “but Lavy, why would I ‘spend’ $30k just to earn $1,000??” Well because you’re not spending anything, you are investing. The amount you invest can also increase in value, therefore paying you even more dividends. This is just a method of buying future income.

The key is to choose companies that you believe will last for decades in order to preserve your initial investment and keep the dividends flowing. You can also invest in dividend ETFs and index funds through Vanguard, Fidelity, Schwab, etc.

Do you invest in any dividend paying stocks?

A mutual fund is a professionally managed portfolio of stocks, bonds and/or other income vehicles devoted to a specific investment strategy or asset class. When investors buy shares in the fund, the mutual fund company pools that money to make investments on their behalf. A share represents a portion of the fund's holdings.

This type of investment is seen as less risky than investing in individual stocks, as your splitting your money into different assets which offer diversification. You’ll also benefit from the guidance of a professional fund manager, who’ll make decisions based on their experience and market research.

Do you invest into mutual funds? And if so, what one do you invest in? Let us know in the comments below.

SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

Yesterday was a bad day to be a Cannabis ETF...

$MJ: -24.60%
$YOLO: -12.14%
$THCX: -22.91%
$CNBS: -18.80%
$TOKE: -16.91%

This is the worst single day decline for the ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF ($MJ) since its creation in 2015. The ETF dropped more than 20% today, surprisingly, it is still up 11% for the week, and 81% YTD...

Nigerian trouped out to support the NSE and buy stocks in 2007/08. Most who did that intended to buy snd hold for year. Almost all are yet to recover even their base capital today...talk more of taking inflation into context.

If strong regulations were in place and we refuced insider trading, young Nigerians would be looking to profit by buying oour stocks. Today the sector is as corrupt as they come.

Every innovative market usually has a bubble. What differentiates wheat from chaff is what happens after that. During the dotcom bubble of 99/200 lots of 'internet' companies were overvalued...in the coming years, quality companies surpassed their dotcom prices and made them look cheap.

Same thing with bitc0in. 2017 was a bubble, but in 3 years, it's surpassed that bubble price and keeps surging.

Piggyvest our indigenous investment platform haf just started offering crypt0 investments in app. The numerous ads on NL also tell same story.
Insider trading CANNOT be eliminated in NSE

Thanks for sharing. I have tried a couple of these guys for dividends but the truth is, when you see how much you can gain swinging, you'd abandon them and move to growth and momentum stocks. Dividend stocks to me are like a savings account, any money you make from short terms and swings should be moved there. Unfortunately, I'm not a financial advisor, so readers, do your due diligence.
