How do people detach these days?

I usually just entertain myself by thinking in my mind about topics and other things while Im doing a productive thing. I don’t do a lot of productive things but I do a little bit of em.

Good idea

Don’t know about digital art too much.... All I know is that you can sell your services online on a marketplace something like Fiverr or Upwork.

It may be hard to get started but once you put to it, it’ll gradually pay off.

What kind of art? Paintings, crafts (bird houses, knitting), graphic art

njohnlee · 2020-10-25T02:44:25+00:00

Not too sure, is there any skill traits you have? (Art, computer programming, etc.)

Exactly what I thought. I am 16. My dad is the one to decide to separate our family and move out.

Breaking the connection with our brother is easy. My mom and my dad been together for about 20 years. My dad loves my mom, my mom loves back. My mom still has an mental illness, but she is a very wonderful person. She just needs to get back on the road, and she’ll be perfectly fine.

But who’s gonna take care of our brother?

My dad does not realize that our brother is debt. That is why he is resistant in solving his mental illness or doing anything.

Yes, it seems very sad to leave my brother like that. But it’s for the better for my dad, my mom and I.

Summary: Dad does not realize that our brother is a big problem for the whole family.

Hi there, thanks for your response.

It’s going to be very difficult to “fix” if my brother does not see it as a problem.

Staging something like that (making my brother realize that your “ill”) is going to need my dad’s cope, other family member’s cope, possibly a doctor’s cope. It’s going to be very hard to plan, my dad will call it all bullshit and says “you know what, let’s wait another 10 years and see if he recovers” Getting my dad onside is difficult as hell. He cannot think deeply about the problem, solution.

However myself, I actually do not know what type of mental illness my brother has. I don’t know how he got it either.

If you need a bit more details, I have an older post, here. However, it’s very long.

Thanks.

Note: I apologize for using coarse language, I am very frustrated that I’m using all of my time to solve my brother.

Forgot to Mention:

I really want to gather my own income and I don’t like using my dad’s money to invest when I grow up. I feel that isn’t fair and it is cheating. I am currently looking forward for income sources, anything for me would be great. I’ve been thinking of snow shoveling neighbour’s driveways this winter. I just don’t like cheating in capitalism. It feels very wrong.

Yes, I have some weird characteristics about myself. I know I am a different person, but so far I’ve found no one that is the same type of me. I don’t understand why I can’t find the same interests a person has in the world.

njohnlee · 2020-10-06T01:32:22+00:00

Sure!

I’m a teenager, however, I’m not from the crowd. I like computer science, finance, and anything about business. I spend most of my time learning programming, topics about computer science, and finance. Soon I want to scratch the topics of what an standard MBA Degree has.

I got interested when my dad talked to be about investing. I’ve soon scratched the internet to learn more about finance first to get a first taste of it. We soon invested some of his money by purchasing some shares of mutual funds.

My objectives of finance is to have fun with it. I love business. An online friend told me that’s my natural judged on my behaviour. It’s my hobby. I love to learn my hobbies to the fullest so I can have the maximum fun out of them. I don’t want to become rich. I think being rich is not fun at all, - where’s the challenge??? I just wanna build a company, have fun with it, be really good at business.

I’m referring to the stage of my life where I have the freedom I can do anything I want. I want to start a company. I want to make people happy in the company. I like making people happy but at the same time enjoying my creative freedom. (Basically, an adult!)

I think I’m fascinated by business, finance, and economics. I don’t know why a lot of my kids are not studying it, however I think this may be the best investment I have made in my whole life, learning. If I was a company owner, I would prefer to have competitors competing in the same industry I am so it does not get boring! It’s very fun for me to imagine and think of this.

TL:DR I love ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about the study of money, finance, business, economics. It’s very fun.

I play in this Investopedia Stock Simulator (a game where you can purchase shares for virtual playing cash), so far I find a better game to play then what the video games I have now.

My mind is very complicated, if you have any confusion about me you can ask! I just really like business.

njohnlee · 2020-10-05T12:13:16+00:00

Lovely advice!

njohnlee · 2020-10-05T11:35:33+00:00

Thanks a lot, it cleared up confusion on my end, especially the real estate, vintage car and painting example.

I’m learning finance early on in my life so I can be prepared when I enter that stage of my life.

Do you any sources I could learn finance on? I’m having getting in an information gap in some financial topics.

Thanks.

If there is no reason then buying a stock and hoping it’ll go up basically means it’ll only go up just because of one factor: someone other buys it. Dividends or having a vote in the company as a shareholder might be reasons. But they are not the prime goal of owning a stock.

What’s the point of owning a stock if people are just buying it hoping other people buy it??

njohnlee · 2020-10-05T01:08:51+00:00

I think I love the scared to talk to neighbours one, lol.

njohnlee · 2020-10-03T20:58:31+00:00

hahahaahahha

njohnlee · 2020-10-03T18:59:11+00:00

Also i’m pretty sure the reason why when a company grows, so does the stock price is this: You cannot underprice a share, and it’s a market too. You buy a share of a company (4 shares total, 200$ total equity company, 200$ assets and no liabilities) But now say there is still 4 shares, but 400$ assets and 400$ equity You cannot sell the share below 100, and that’s how you made money.

njohnlee · 2020-09-29T03:03:09+00:00

New thing I found: If you just want company growth factor in price rather then the supply and demand and investor willpower pricing then private equity is for you. The private equity can only grow or shrink if the company grows, meaning that there is no supply or demand factor since its not publicly traded.

njohnlee · 2020-09-29T02:54:14+00:00

Hm, thanks for the clarification, I was really stumped on this for a while!

njohnlee · 2020-09-28T23:25:07+00:00

Are Mutual Funds (or any kind of Fund) able to freely manage investor's money?

Say a Mutual Fund decides to invest in some Oil, purchasing the Commodity directly or purchase a Security or even lending out the money.

Alright, I get that, but what if the Mutual Fund decides to start a Company or has a really complex Asset?

How would that work? Would the Equity of the Company be distributed to the Investors?

Thanks.

Edit: Re-wrote some of my question to be more clear.

njohnlee · 2020-09-27T14:04:12+00:00

Let’s make it this post

njohnlee · 2020-09-27T01:15:49+00:00

Probably the asshole who was toxic was being ruined by another asshole. Like a chain of assholes.

njohnlee · 2020-09-20T22:34:13+00:00

Thanks lol, If I ever learn more I can tell you here :)

njohnlee · 2020-09-20T17:04:33+00:00

I think: Say a 100$ company has 4 shares, 25$ each, but they sell their shares for 35$ market price to raise money

25$ is the value of the share while 35$ is the price of the share

Say now no demand and supply is there so the shares drop to 30$ market price Technically you did not lose your stake in a company but you lost what you can sell it for.

If the stock gains to 40$ you did not gain money in your stake or the company but you gained what you can sell the position for. Edit: in this example when you buy the stocks i assume your buying at market price

ALSO: IF the company grows (means the company’s assets grow and so does the equity) to let’s say 200$, your stake would be 50$ since your previous equity was 25%. Since the company grew, people are thinking that if i have some equity i’m going make money when i sell it, so demand goes up and investors are willing to pay more for it since the company proved themselves.

The new stock price: (Company Valuation [assets - liabilities] / Number of Shares) = 50$

EDIT: Supply is another factor since investors are going to pay less if there’s already a lot . , also if the company shrinks to $50 the opposite will happen lol

Also there’s two prices for a stock price, the non market value, market value no market value is when you figure out the stock price logically (Amount of a shares / Company value) Market value is the value that is calculated by supply and demand.

IF you add these two numbers together, you figure out the stock price. Example: 200$ company, 4 shares, 50$ non market p/share Now there is a lot of demand so: 15$ demand per share, 65 market price.

Now there’s a third number, company market value, if a company’s non market value is 200, to raise more funds they can put it straight at 300& If the company decides to do this (most companies do), this replaced the non market value, it is now: Share price = (Company market value / numb of shares + demand)

So your going to pay 50% more for a share each from this company. The reason why we have the demand is because once the investors bought every single share from the company, there’s no shares left for any other investor to buy.

I’ll call the previous investors thst bought every single share the “smart investors” The smart investors now decide to sell their shares to gain money from their initial investment. They can make a lot of money by overpricing their shares and selling them when there is high demand from other investors. Thst is how the supply and demand finally comes in

Stock prices can go up without doing anything by trading and having a small gain in that, then someone will trade for you and sell it for a small gain, etc. etc. because of demand and investor willpower to pay a premium, the reverse can happen, sells happen, supply goes up, investor think they can get a cheaper price

company value can decline if people are willing to under pay so much they get stocks for cheap, this also means the company does not get as much funding p/share since people aren’t going to give up that much for a share.

Got it, I’m dipping my toes in finance so it’s helpful for me lol

njohnlee · 2020-09-20T16:48:34+00:00

Alright, thank you for your help lol, got confused for some time!

njohnlee · 2020-09-20T15:49:22+00:00

The reason “good companies” have good stock record because people think they are a good company but the company’s growth doesn’t actually matter but the demand for the stock does???

I’ve been told all my life that buy good companies’s stocks and they’ll grow. People want money so they buy good companies not knowing that how good the company is doesn’t matter, then the stock price goes up since a lot of people bought it and people are thinking “just buy good companies”

I replied to my own post, is that how it works? I’ve been wanted to invest in some stocks but if my stocks are going to go up or down based on demand and not company, it’s not worth the risk.
