Trading options

Today i learned about the different trading options called call and put options. Calling is a term where you buy and bet that the price point will go up, and a put is where you buy and bet that the price poing will go down. As this changes the playing field for buying and selling but is still pretty high risk in terms of loss of money for the buyer.

My business idea for my assignment

Today I have thought of what I want my product to be. I want to do a virtual assistant kind of like Amazon Alexa, but made for an app that allows buy and selling of products that the assistant can do for you if you’re busy rather than having you look. Meaning the assistant can make purchases and sell your items for you whenever you want. I will now start making the proper adjustments for price and research for this to be applicable to society.

But if this persists I’ll likely ask for assistance.

Slow start to a new week

Today was very slow as i was fixing complications with the linking of my social media information as it wasn't copying the link properly and ended up having to troubleshoot with a few google searches online to get the right URL.

Improving my life

Today has really been an eye opener for me. I realize i spend most of my time wasting it rather than actually spending that time as i take it for granted. after completing my assignment for the second prerequisite im going to take the time to make sure i review all of what I’ve learned instead of treating it as class work and make sure that i am really reflecting on the time i spend in this program and also make sure all my quizzes are passed so I can move on and pick an assignment of my interest after i complete the introduction to entrepreneurship. I want to make more proper use of my time and actually show it rather than just saying it to my friends and family and grow from this experience.

Thu. Jul. 21, 2022

Mentors and role models

From the second prerequisite i have been taught the differences between a mentor and a role model and how one another may be similar, but work very differently than it would seem and i also continue to work on my quizzing skills.
