After a fairly heavy February Review post and looking back into February’s posts …. seeing a lot of heavy … we intentionally went very light and much to the happiness of 13 year old, who is a regular gamer..
50 Years of Gaming History –
From our Friends at Visual Capitalist – Wow they really do great work!
Amazing, but not surprising how much Mobile (red) makes up now and looks to continue dominating other devices.
This neat chart here from our friends at Visual Capitalist shows interesting facts of a family favorite Airbnb..
The third chart is most interesting to us…. the huge number of listed rooms, which is not surprising upon further thought of the business model… individuals homes or second homes.
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday… just on our rear view mirrors…. the following neat chart from our friends at Visual Capitalist made its way to the inbox…. AND the shift key continues to cause problems.
For those that missed the November Video, the laptop shift key works inconsistently which causes major problems with strong passwords and you really never know how many thing need capitalized until you lose the shift key…haha
As you receive this, a new keyboard is being installed… lookout longer posts.
One of the favorite ways to start the day in our household includes a small, but very rewarding cup of coffee!
Usually only one, first thing in the AM … anything later in the day leads to extended tossing and turning along with sleepy but not sleeping views on the ceiling…
As we head into a Weekend, our friends at Visual Capitalist hit us with a neat coffee chart!
Have A Great Friday … Halloween (Be Safe) and Weekend … here is your chart !
We spotted this neat chart last week from our friends once again at Visual Capitalist … here
Worth noting … we were close to these levels in 1945 as can be seen on the chart…
While the above is a more descriptive 200 year chart, we just could not help ourselves in showing a much shorter but encouraging one month chart of the same ten year treasury noted above …. again, VERY short time frame, but we like the upward movement….
We crow a lot about interest rates, but they really are VERY important…
About one week ago, both kiddos asked me if I knew that TikTok was scheduled to be banned in the United State – Much to their surprise, I did …. What I did not know, was exactly what TikTok did at the time….
Thankfully with a little help from the kids, I now understand what this social media app does…. not really sure of the popularity … but ok
Had no idea, just how big this app was….
With multiple recent office conversations on the subject, timely chart!
Social Media Platforms Size and Analysis
Thanks once again to our friends at Visual Capitalist, here is an excellent chart of the platforms…
Hope there are fellow parents that are better at anticipating where the kids next hot app will be … for monitoring purposes …
Just got familiar with Instagram, kids gone… all about snapshat and the afore mentioned TikTok …
Talk Facebook to a teenager and they will look at you like you have three eyes…. not kidding!
Good Luck Fellow Parent App Chasers….may the force be with you in finding the next hot app they gravitate to!
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!
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!
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)
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!

Another Timely Graph, Post Black Friday and Cyber Monday … Shift Key Continues to Aggravate
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday… just on our rear view mirrors…. the following neat chart from our friends at Visual Capitalist made its way to the inbox…. AND the shift key continues to cause problems.

Have a Great Bricks versus Cyber Day!
