Financial Image: How Stock Picks Define You
Part of being a business owner is projecting the right image. This can be accomplished under many guises: tailored suits, spot free loafers, a lovely house, and, of course, the token sports car. But these sort of visual luxuries come across as entirely superficial, right? To boot, they are signifying relics of a bygone era.
Today’s business owners rather crave things like authenticity, know-how, honesty, and perseverance. And while it is still important to show these qualities to employees and clients, it becomes an altogether trickier business, as the task changes to displaying more subtle, sometimes non-objectifiable traits.
Image. The great French philosopher Gaston Bachelard speaks of the image’s “reverberation”, for it “has touched the depths before it stirs the surface”. What are some easy ways of transmitting these “depths” to others?
One is a robust stock portfolio. See, with the advent of auto and robo-advisor technologies, your portfolio is now something to be carried around and quickly displayed to others via telephone. With a myriad of mobile applications out there, such as those offered by M1 Finance and Betterment, it’s never been easier to join the investing fray and show you’re doing it.
Alas, one cannot stop there. It’s not enough to buy a few shares of Amazon and Coca-Cola and think you’ve covered your bases; let’s face it, these blue chippers do not denote unique, individual commitment, or any special depth of feeling lurking beyond appearances – while profitable, they are commonplace.
Start thinking outside the box. A platform like AcreTrader provides an entirely novel way of investing in real estate. With a focus on the agricultural sector, AcreTrader allows its customers to invest in America’s heartland; show that you are a down-to-earth individual by flashing these kinds of unique, off-beat investment profiles.
Speaking of mother earth, ethical investments are all the rage lately. With the looming environmental catastrophe becoming a reality for even the most jaded of skeptics, investors of all stripes and persuasions have taken to thinking long and hard about where they put their cash. By aligning yourself with companies that follow strict ethical guidelines, you can show your true colors to the world.
Let’s take a closer look at AcreTrader and TrendSpider, an automatic technical analysis tool that will help you maximize the profits of your ethical investing choices.
AcreTrader – A Unicorn in the Biz
If you have ever used a robo-advisor, AcreTrader is nothing new. Yet, founder Carter Malloy identified a real void in the contemporary market: farmland. By combining the accessibility of auto and robo-advisors with a throwback object like agriculture, AcreTrader has seen steady growth since its inception in 2018.
Ease of Use:
getting started is easy: once you’ve set up a user ID and linked it to an existing bank account, you’re on your way. As opposed to regular stock trading platforms, there are not a lot of investing options. With AcreTrader everything is pretty crystal-clear from the get-go.
Information and Knowledge:
We’ve found that one of the neatest things about AcreTrader is that they provide a brief description of every “farmstead” available for investment. This gives you a sense of knowing the land in which you invest, and of having stake in the fortunes of real laboring individuals.
Investment Thresholds:
$10,000 is the minimum amount one can invest on AcreTrader, and investors are required to purchase at least one acre of land. This may seem extravagant, but just consider: this is the real deal we are talking about; a finite, limited resource; a genuine slice of Mother Earth. And it must be noted that because of this “one acre rule”, initial investments may actually demand upwards of $25,000.
TrendSpider – Making Smart Choices
TrendSpider is a stock analysis software that takes advantage of current, state-of-the-art technologies. Aimed at active day traders and general investors alike, TrendSpider provides users with an array of charts which help objectify the market.
Automated Analysis:
the platform’s flagship feature, this is an algorithm that builds itself around your stock habits. With the cold, calculated edge only machines possess, this tool can help you exploit holes and patterns in the market.
Multi Timeframe Analysis:
multi timeframe analysis enables the user to add technical indicators and trend lines to a secondary timeframe. This is especially useful as one can simply refresh a single chart to add the latest market data streaming in.
Candlestick Pattern Detection:
candlestick graphs are the preferred chart type of professionals the world over, and for good reason. Candlestick charts show the user possible price movements based on past patterns. As you probably know, everything in the world of trading is essentially a guess, but candlestick charts crunch historical data to give you the best possible tip.
The Financial Image
Everyone will want to curate their image in their own particular way. Perhaps you want to portray the throwback maverick, the Hollywood entrepreneur of the booming 1980s who forsakes all for another dollar. On the other hand, things have been trending in the opposite direction: the environmentally and socially conscious magnate is all the current rage.
Whether crass or modest, knives out or wholly serene, a robust and unique stock portfolio can be part of that which you show the world.
