On a smack dab in the middle of the week, heading into a holiday shortened coming week … we thought it nice to keep it simple…

Population Density 3-D Chart

From our friends at Visual Capitalist, who continue to pump out some of the neatest charts ever…

Water is sure popular over the Globe ….

Warmth also seems a favorite too …

With Monday being a holiday, our office as well as Capital Markets will be closed… planning on being in and out (mostly the latter) Friday as well… always tethered electronically!

Money Versus Markets from Our Friends at Visual Capitalist … Quadrillion Notional Value

Posted on August 17, 2020 by | Leave a comment

The most interesting part of this chart from our friends at Visual Capitalist in our opinion is the synthetic versus notional value of assets… What?

Ok… so we laid some Wall Street Gibberish on you…

All of this is near the end of the chart…

Derivatives …. A synthetic product is basically a product of some type that allows you to use a small amount of money to control a larger amount of assets… most importantly for a defined period of time…..

Used correctly, most of these types of products are for lowering risk, also called hedging…

Used aggressively, these products are speculative and can cause harm to an investors portfolio….

Notional or real value of the assets held by Derivatives are currently a Quadrillion … not a term used frequently… such the interest…

It’s a long chart, but very informative and interesting… take a moment to digest… think it worth it!

 

8-1-20 Visual Cap Money and Markets

 

Hope you enjoyed !

Have a Great “Quadrillion Notional Value” Day!

Top Daily Google Searches for the Last 10 Years In Each State … Showing our VERY Short Attention Spans –

Posted on July 29, 2020 by | Leave a comment

Long time followers know we cannot resist these neat Animated Charts… just fascinating to us ….

The following is daily Google searches for the last 10 years – its a bit long, so pick your time period if you want to watch…. it’s surprisingly interesting.

Couple of observations from our perch:

  • Whew… we have SHORT attention spans!
  • We all school like fish at once – notice how the states show similar searches almost every time
  • Entertainment (music and movies) dominates any other subject
  • The 15 year old watched and knew tons more items than myself
  • Adele and Billie Eilish seem to carry the popularity crown the longest from a muscian standpoint
  • Fortnite was by far the most dominate gaming search
  • Never heard of Myxer – and it is no longer around (maybe that is why we never heard of)
  • Who knew Pepe the Frog was so popular

This again from our friends at Visual Capitalist who usually do not do animated charts, but we sure like this one…

This one is 11 minutes long…well worth the time, but we know most will not watch for more than 2 – Pick a time frame when you think you may know what everyone was searching – You will likely be surprisingly wrong – again, VERY short attention spans for everyting!

Hope you enjoyed as much as we did!

Have a Great “Fellow Short Attention Span” Day!

Tesla/Musk production here in the USA takes the lead early on….

You may be surprised who the latest winner is …. not being spoiler, but it is NOT the USA…

Neat Animated Chart of Immigration, Which Will Eventually Resume

Posted on May 11, 2020 by | Leave a comment

With much talk of immigration to and from different countries, this chart seemed very interesting.

Of course, this will only continue after travel opens once again, but still interesting from our perch!

USA seems to lead as desired destination, with Russia a very strong second until just recently!

Top Country Exporters 1960 to 2018 – Timely Tariff Related Animated Chart

Posted on December 16, 2019 by | Leave a comment

This one is a little long… just over 5 minutes, but worth it considering the Sabre Rattling that is going on over Tariff talks…

The shorter ones do not give a good enough history of just when China came on the scene… Bet you cannot guess what year they did ? We missed by a long shot…

Also worth watching, the massive growth in Total World Exports – Graph/gauge in lower right portion of chart…

Maybe turn the volume down a bit before you hit play? Very patriotic, but a bit loud…hey who are we to question the author!

Enjoy…

 

Source of Animation: Ranking the World

Source of Data: The World Bank

So Intrigued by these!

Have a Great “Top Exporters for Last 50 Years” Day!
