Basic Economics

Buy your domain before its gone for 10% off by going to hover.com/Wendover. Imagine a $2,000 car… or a $100 laptop… or a $70 iPhone… or imagine any product ten times cheaper than it was. Imagine the fundamental market change that would bring. Imagine the amount of demand there would be for that $2,000 car or $100 laptop or $70 iPhone. That’s what Elon Musk imagined 15 years ago when he sat on a pile of $165 million dollars. Elon Musk’s businesses are all centered around some the most basic principles of economics out there. When he starts a business, he’s not necessarily trying to do something new, he’s trying to do something right. Musk made most of his early fortune through his involvement with PayPal. In 1999 he founded a company called X.com which was quickly bought by Concinnity —the creators of PayPal—so when PayPal was bought by eBay in 2002, Musk’s 11.7% ownership of the company translated to $165 million dollars.

The prison of your mind | TEDxIronwoodStatePrison

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.  Transcriber: Phuong Cao Reviewer: Denise RQ I’m trying to compose my blog post for tonight, and I’m thinking it sounds really believable that I went to prison and hugged a bunch of really nice prisoners, while a DJ busy, threw on some records, and Richard Branson told me where I can score some free heroin.

Created by Ray Dalio this simple but not simplistic and easy to follow 30 minute, animated video answers the question, "How does the economy really work?"

I quote this because it encapsulates the fact that the contents of this video may be unsettling compared to the videos that I normally make.  because I’ve been exploring the financial world for the last four years and it has definitely given me a more complete view of the world. I want to share some o
