Alternatives to get rich - Risk wins, Risk loses.
Yesterday I came across a graphic of a visual capitalist. Could you please let me know how long it typically takes for money to double in various investments? For a period of nearly 100 years, it is truly impressive. Real estate is the worst. But 4.4 percent is something compared to nothing. A hundred dollars invested in a property after a hundred years becomes over 5,000 dollars, which is great, though. Gold (6.48 percent) is better. Corporate bonds are extremely excellent, at 6.96 percent. But investing in the S&P 500 brings a yield of nearly 11.51 percent. This return is phenomenal. This means that every six and a half years, your money doubles. But let's not forget that if you hit the initial public offering of a company that has a future and a good product,. It can make you a several-thousand-dollar millionaire in no time. But recognizing such a company in times of huge competition is like hitting the lottery numbers. But occasionally the risk is worth it with a company with patents. But whatever you invest in brings dividends. Occasionally there is disappointment. Consider investing in a property in an area that is experiencing a decline in value. When the market is calm, gold does not grow, and you are waiting for a crisis. You come across a company that has appointed a bad manager, and the excellent company declares bankruptcy because of this bad management. Risk wins, risk loses. There is no reward without risk. But let's not forget that the thing that can make us very rich is something like an idea. Your creation is the key to your wealth. You can always sell the idea, but at least try to draw it or make a prototype.

Top 10 reasons to invest in Australian shares

Nothing personal just thinking out loud.
Soon I came across many articles against the big companies and especially against the Chinese state. They are responsible for air pollution and harm to humanity. I have nothing against the free writing of people or journalists. But are they correct in their conclusions? Let's assume that every product produced by a large company is bought by the common man. Shouldn't we pay a little attention to our actions? Everyone purchases a Chinese-made product, such as a phone. This is true regardless of whether the product originates from an American or European company. Is it just a phone? For example, I know people who criticize wealthy corporations. Their actions show they replace their TV every few years because they want the latest model. Another sees that they are advertising the latest model fridge, but its design is nicer, and he decides to renew it even if it is a payoff, but he needs to be able to take a picture for social media in front of a good-looking fridge full of products. He doesn't realize that this software, which supports so many people, needs more hardware that requires electricity. Everyone is trying to buy a new t-shirt so that people who look at his profile can say that he is chic. At the moment, the world is experiencing an unstoppable euphoria over the mania of owning electronic money. What resources are required for this endeavor? They don't consider the consequences, but they campaign in the financial media about its importance. Would large corporations produce a product that is not in demand? If there are no buyers, they will definitely reduce their production. If all other countries stopped demanding goods from China, would they still produce them? I don't know what would happen if China closed its borders for six months, but only for goods that the world needs. Don't think China is making any toys for thrift stores. China produces everything from the iPhone to medicines for the underprivileged. Recently, China has produced nearly 80 percent of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. However, when individuals become wealthy through their own efforts, they are often criticized. Recently, I have witnessed the politics of American presidents. They are not giving American citizens a better life, but they are struggling to slow down the Chinese economy so that it does not become the number one economy. A simple example is that they put customs duties on goods and so on; the average person simply pays more for the product. I think everyone should think about what they can contribute and not blame others for their mistakes. For example, I don't have a smartphone yet. I only use my laptop for work-related tasks, writing, or quick trips to the post office. Visit Meta or LinkedIn weekly. I can't deny that every day I visit at least one financial site to get an idea of what I should invest in. Everyone is right for himself, whatever he says, but our actions must be in the right direction to protect the planet.

Is the holiday in Turkish Riviera Antalya worth it?
I am visiting Antalya for the first time. The plane ride took us three hours. We received a welcome at the airport. Of course, we had paid for the ultra-inclusive package. Upon arrival, we were offered to visit the restaurant to eat. The hotel's restaurant was actually open twenty-four hours a day. After we were accommodated, we toured the complex. Since it was late, we sat at the bar, which was open 24 hours. The hotel itself had several bars, a disco, and a restaurant next to the beach. You can eat at this beachside restaurant instead of going to the hotel when you're at the beach during the day. I noticed security on the beach, inside the hotel yard, and at the entrance itself. It was also twenty-four hours. Food in restaurants is plentiful. It gave me the impression that the alcohol was legal. I thought that if I ordered a twelve-year whiskey, I would be served something worse. However, since I only ordered a single twelve-year whiskey, they provided me with what I needed. During the day, they do various activities for the guests in the pool or around it. There are entertainers for small children as well. I enjoyed the nightly performances at the summer theater the most. In a word, have fun and don't think about it. You can order drinks everywhere, and they always serve you just by waving to the staff. The most intriguing thing is that I did not visit their cafe because it was a Starbucks. There was definitely always a queue, and the drinks were at the hotel's expense. In front of the hotel, there are several offices for excursions. If you're interested in rafting, they can arrange for a vehicle to transport you. If you want an excursion to explore the surroundings up to a hundred kilometers, no problem. But this is additionally paid. I would rather not advertise only this hotel. I believe this is the common practice for most hotels. Therefore, many people continue to visit these hotels near Antalya. I had never been in a warmer sea before. Everywhere, you need a towel when you go out. The water was actually clean. It's difficult to swim underwater. The salt water itself lifts you to the surface. In the city of Antalya, except for the old city, there are no more houses. Only four- or five-story buildings of modern construction remain. I hope that they will not replace the old city, and the breath of the old that has been in this city for 2-3 thousand years will disappear. The area boasts an abundance of historical sites. I also liked their steep, high, and somewhat snow-white mountains. The aquarium and museums are worth a visit. However, I didn't get to experience everything. I rate the service and everything else as excellent. The evidence shows that many people return there, which suggests it's consistently excellent. If you have not vacationed in Antalya, I can only recommend it.

Not everyone can win, there must be losers.
Investing in a utility company can provide a steady stream of income. Generally regulated, utility companies offer investors some stability and predictability. Utility companies often have strong balance sheets and generate a lot of cash flow, which can make them attractive investments. Utility companies can be a beneficial way to diversify a portfolio. There are many different types of utility companies, so investors can find one that fits their investment goals. But in reality, utility companies' revenues are predictable. Accept yourself as a regular payer. Assume that your neighbor is also a payer. Thus, all users of their services are payers. The company itself has the income and can afford the dividend. Another thing is that the stock market has a crisis. The company will always have these customers. This situation could be compared to a pandemic that wipes out people. Realistically speaking, you don't expect a sharp rise in the share price. But you can always expect it to drip a little. For me, it is mandatory for an investor to have at least one utility company in their portfolio. This is my opinion. This review is not a recommendation to buy; at the end of the day, everyone has an opinion. Not everyone can win; there must be losers.
