Is Investing in Wine Better than the Stock Market? | How Money Works

Is Investing in Wine Better than the Stock Market?Fine wines are one of the most sought after goods for those who enjoy the taste and class associated with them. With many wines, aging is one of the ways they continue to taste better and better. That means people are willing to pay more in the future for wines that age well.This has led to one of the most interesting forms of alternative investing, and even services have been created for collecting pricing data and coordinating the trading and exchange of investment wine.In March 2019, a wine auction at the world famous auction house, Christie’s was held for a variety of wines. During the auction, the most expensive sale was 12 bottles of wine from Burgundy, France for a little over $305,000. That is over $25,000 per bottle of wine. In 2011, the same case sold for between $97,000 and $116,000 in today’s dollars, marking an increase of over 126% over those 8 years. Overall, the auction seemed to be pretty successful with about 90% of all wines being sold.The rise in popularity of wines being bought from the secondary market has grown intensely from the year 2000 to about $4 billion in 2018. Although this is pretty insignificant if you compare it to total private equity investment activity of $800bn in 2018, $4Bn is still pretty significant.#WineInvesting #InvestInWine #HowMoneyWorksSources: https://pastebin.com/R4KbyAXuDISCLAIMER: This video is not official financial advice.

Why SPACs are Popular Investments | How Money Works

Why SPACs are Popular InvestmentsNicola Motors, Draft Kings, and Virgin Galactic have a lot in common.For starters all these companies have recently gone public and are still not profitable and while that's common for many IPOs neither Nicola or virgin galactic have actually generated any revenue from their main service lines.For Nikola they haven't even sold any electric vehicles and for Virgin Galactic they have still yet to deliver on their space tourism services. Most people would consider these stocks to be early stage and incredibly risky for wall street bets though it's a great idea.Perhaps the most important thing to understand about these companies is how they went public and that's through a spec or a special purpose acquisition company.We're going to look at specs how they're structured and answer why they become so popular among investors.SPAC's are by no means anything incredibly new they've existed for a while now but have just recently become popular again.The general idea behind a SPAC is that their management team raises money from investors to go public and then uses that money to buy another company the process through which the acquisition occurs is called a reverse merger and how this works is actually pretty simple...Music from Epidemic Sound#SPAC #IPO #HowMoneyWorksFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

What Company Made Steve Jobs a Billionaire? - Hint: it Wasn't Apple! - How Money Works | How Money Works

What Company Made Steve Jobs a Billionaire? - Hint: it Wasn't Apple! - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈Steve jobs was worth an estimated 10.2 billion dollars at the time of his tragic death in late 2011, making him one of the wealthiest people in the world at the time.This will not come as a huge surprise to most of you, because after all he was the founder and CEO of Apple Computers, which went on to be the most valuable company in history, with a market capitalization today of over 2.2 trillion dollars.The thing is though, apple had very little to do with the fortune amassed by this legendary businessman.Apple was famously founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne in a Californian garage in 1976.The business found it’s initial seed capital from jobs selling his Volkswagen Bus, and Wozniak selling a high end pocket calculator.These funds were then use to develop the apple one and subsequent apple two desktop computers, which introduced the world to a new way of interacting with these previously cumbersome machines.During this period, Ronald Wayne, the often forgotten third founder of apple computers would sell his share in the company for $800 dollars. Those same shares today even after dilution would be worth more than half a trillion dollars, but c'est la vieVideo Clips Used In Video-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4kn_GqGsKc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbbW8SO08XQDiscord I hang out on - https://discord.gg/MJGcTH6#SteveJobs #Billionaire #HowMoneyWorksAnswer to the mistake we made - The picture of the three founders does not actually include Ronald Wayne.

Yes Money Does Buy You Happiness - Even Beyond $75,000 Per Year! - How Money Works | How Money Works

Yes Money Does Buy You Happiness - Even Beyond $75,000 Per Year! - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈$75,000 per year. This is the number often referred to as the cut off where money will no longer bring you any more happiness.This is largely in thanks to a widely misquoted 2010 study conducted by these two gentleman, Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton.Since this was published, all manner of outlets have perpetuated this idea that conveniently falls in line with other tropes like, money can’t buy happiness and money is the root of all evil, mo money mo problem etc etc.The issue is that it’s simply not true.The first clue for anybody misquoting this study should be in the title of the study itself. “High income improves evaluation of life but not emotional well-being”What this means in plain English is that people with higher incomes don’t necessarily experience higher levels of day-to-day happiness. However long term, they do generally have a more positive outlook on life.This phenomenon is most likely to be explained by the psychological theory of the hedonic treadmill.The hedonic treadmill is the observed tendency of humans to revert back to a relatively stable level of happiness in spite of any major life events, positive or negative.This is to be expected because of something psychologists refer to as the hedonic treadmill.The hedonic treadmill is the observed tendency of humans to quickly return to a relatively stable level of happiness despite any major positive or negative life changes.#Money #Happiness #HowMoneyWorksSources- https://www.pnas.org/content/107/38/16489- https://www.pnas.org/content/118/4/e2016976118.short?rss%3D1Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

So You Just Got Rich... Great... Now What?! - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈So you just got rich… Maybe you bought GameStop at $5, or bitcoin at a thousand, maybe you did it the good old fashioned way and won the lottery, but by one means or another you have found yourself with millions of dollars looking back at you when you open up your bank account.Congratulations you have won capitalism…. Now What?You might have though making the money was the hard part, but in many ways holding onto it can be even harder.Friends you haven’t heard from in years will suddenly spring back into your life, strangers will send you threatening letters, and even family members will have a sob story about why they suddenly need money.Ironically enough, multi million dollar windfalls from inheritances, gambling, or gambling in denial “investing” actually increase the likelihood of being declared bankrupt by over 1,000%.So hang onto your lucky windfall and stick around to learn how money works,So to understand what to do with your new found fortune, you have to start off by understanding what not to do.Believe it or not, coming into life changing amounts of money in a short space of time can inflict upon people what psychologists call Sudden Wealth Syndrome, and while that might sound like the best mental health problem to have, it is still a serious problem.According to the American Psychologist Dr Stephen Golbart, the symptoms of this affliction include anxiety, isolation and paranoia, brought about by the perceived guilt of receiving money that wasn’t “earned”.It’s kind of like the imposter syndrome turned up to 11.______________________________________________________________________#Windfall #CallOptionsGoBrr #HowMoneyWorksLink To Economics Explained Video - https://youtu.be/AqSExy3HBm0Music by Epidemic SoundFollow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Why SpaceX Needs Starlink | How Money Works

Why SpaceX Needs StarlinkIn 2019, with around 75 billion visits a month, Google was the most popular website in the world. Perhaps more impressive, is that combining the next three--YouTube, Facebook, and Baidu--would only bring you to around 60 billion.What’s less talked about, though, is the magic that makes the internet easy to express our thoughts (Twitter), share family photos (Facebook), and for you to like this video.For most people, the internet is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity. Those important things in life like work, staying connected with friends, and subscribing to Compounded Daily, are all enhanced through the use of the internet.And yet while 94% of America has access, most of the world (about 52%) does not.
