What I have learned today [2015/6/26]

1. Swedish Fund decreases equity. I suppose this is smart with Greece and some kind of crisis that might happen but I am not sure if too active management is good for long term performance, specially for sovereign funds.

2. Kazakhstan produces 40% of uranium worldwide.

3. There are more roll-up than expected.

4. Making money using photos is quite challenging but once you put it online, it will work for you. Still learning the trade~

5. Elevate is well made app because it really tries to engage you to play the game and learn.

What I have learned today [2015/5/30-2015/6/1]

1. Elevate, learning app, is really awesome. Quite well made.

2. Homeland Security's security tests showed that 95% of weapons and explosives were not detected by TSA.

3. US Coal mine industry has collapsed due to cheaper energy. This may be a good buying opportunity because 40% of US energy comes from coal.

4. New species are found everyday due to advances in technology and better surveys.

5. Tampons around in Europe since 18th and 19th century. The quest for a more effective tampon is still ongoing.

6. FCC is proposing to pay broadband for the poor.This is a good idea because faster internet will hopefully help the poor get information that they need and help them leverage the power of internet. In addition, I believe that those who get the subsidy from the government should receive some internet education that could help them.

7. KPMG audited FIFA, I expect to see find some  audit failures. We really need to raise the bar for auditing.
