If you think Kanye West’s proposal to Kim Kardashian was over the top, just wait for the wedding. On Monday, Oct. 28, the hip hop star stopped by radio station Power 106 for an interview with Big Boy Neighborhood, in which he hinted that there’d be some big surprises — bigger than both the baseball stadium where he popped the question and Kardashian’s massive diamond ring — when he and his fiancee eventually tie the knot. Confessing to Big Boy that the couple are aiming to marry sometime “next summer,” the 36-year-old “Black Skinhead” rapper offered just one other tantalizing tease. “Two words,” he said when asked about the wedding. “Fighter jets.” Given West’s penchant for grand romantic gestures — and his very high opinion of himself and “his girl” — fighter jets might actually be within the realm of possibility. One thing is certain: It’s going to take something pretty huge to top his marriage proposal at San Francisco’s AT&T Park.

Market Sentiment — Mass Psychology for Successful Traders

Image
Trading is not only about the decisions you make, it is also about the decisions other market participants make . When working with financial instruments — be it Forex, contracts for difference, cryptocurrencies or anything else — you definitely want to know how the rest of the trading flock feels. Just because the degree of your success will depend greatly on the behavior of the market in general. The performance of any financial asset is affected by the people who trade it. The market sentiment is the prevailing attitude of traders. The trend is never being created by itself, rather it is a product of many deals carried out simultaneously by a huge number of traders. If the amount of people who want to buy the asset is higher than the number of those who want to get rid of it, the sentiment is said to be bullish . If the opposite holds true, the sentiment is considered to be bearish . During the periods of bullish sentiment, the asset price goes up. When the sentiment is bearish,...

Why Texas is labeled Canada on this map of the ‘ridiculously large’ U.S. economy

Much has been made of the size of California’s massive economy, but it’s hard to truly wrap one’s brain around its place on the global stage. That’s where Mark Perry comes in. The University of Michigan economics and finance professor put it in perspective with one eye-popping statistic, in particular: California’s gross domestic product of $2.75 trillion in 2017 basically matches that of the U.K., and it achieves this with 19.3 million workers, vs. Great Britain’s 33.8 million. “Amazingly, it required a labor force 75% larger (and 14.5 million more people) in the U.K. to produce the same economic output last year as California!” Perry wrote . “That’s a testament to the superior, world-class productivity of the American worker.” But California isn’t the only state that towers over much of the world as an economic engine. Perry illustrated the overall dominance by matching the GDP for each state in 2017 to a foreign country with a comparable nominal GDP: Other notable examp...

They Paid Off $218K of Debt—Without Windfalls or Six-Figure Salaries

Think you need a six-figure salary to get ahead of the financial game? These six may change your mind. Together, they paid off $218,000 of debt— without huge salaries or major windfalls, just discipline, hard work and serious determination to be debt-free . Here’s how they did it. “I slayed $12,000 of student loans while earning $8.30 an hour.” Francis John, 32, machine operator in Sioux Falls, S.D. “I decided to tackle my $12,000 student loan balance in spring 2009. I was recently engaged and felt inspired to be debt-free for my bride. The problem was that I was only earning $8.30 an hour as a bellman at a local hotel, bringing in around $1,300 to $1,500 a month, depending on my hours. Though I was already living pretty frugally and had some wiggle room in my budget, I knew I could cut back. The first thing I did was identify expenses to scale back for maximum impact: rent, phone and food. So I downgraded from a one-bedroom to a studio, lowering my living expenses from ...
