IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES

1) Just heard in the news that Jeff Bezos is being divorced with no prenup and as such his wife is now the fifth richest person in the world. I imagine this will potentially impact Amazon's stock value and even power on the marketplace. I heard about this on the Internet (naturally), and I think this creates an opportunity because Jeff Bezos personally does not have as much buying and investing power as he previously did, even though he still has an extremely high amount. The average person that I could latch on to here is the clueless dad Amazon shopper who will go anywhere that's the cheapest to use. This can be hard to exploit however, as it's a very competitive field in terms of developing online markets. I think a guy like me noticed this because I'm very influenced by online meme-style advertising, especially in social media.

2) I read in NPR that a new President in Venezuela has been elected without U.S. support. Given our history of involvement in South America due to corporate interests, I see potential here to make a move on the supermarket/crop industries. This is a wider spread customer base than the previous example, as everyone buys groceries in one way or another. Most of which are imported goods from South America or other parts of the world. This too should be hard to exploit, however. Big names are in this business, such as Coca-Cola and Nestle. I feel like I'm someone who would notice these things because of my previous knowledge of CIA involvement in South American governments and a very basic understanding of exploitation in globalist, market economies.

3) Word on the online street is that there are going to be more regulatory efforts by the U.S. to establish bitcoin as a legitimate form of funds, and I feel this has great potential to explode in hopefully a positive way. Bitcoin is a bit of a niche economy in its own right, but there is belief that it could potentially be a profitable form of stock-exchange. The average customer who cares about bitcoin is likely either an alt-right conspirator or a chronic vape enthusiast, which is honestly good and bad news. Good in a general sense because people like me tend to have our eye on these kinds of markets, generally because we spend too much time on 4chan. Bad because that means I'm not the only one noticing this.

4) New regulations regarding online advertising and digital information has resulted in major companies such as Buzz Feed and Vice having to lay off hundreds of employees at a time to adjust to the new marketplace. This means that now is a good time to invest in either these major players or a smaller, independent media outlet, as I honestly do not see these companies going anywhere anytime soon. While most people might not want to admit it, they use websites such as these and other ones such as Pitchfork to get their daily dose of instant gratification. Most people being of course millennials and Internet users.  Being an investor isn't an easy job, not that I would know per se, but I do know that getting a good hand in this industry can go a long way in terms of favors and control. Why would someone like me notice this? I consider myself a bit of a neutral party in the battlefield of online politics and news sources. I trust none of them, and that leaves me in perfect position to potentially exploit them.
