Dividends?!
Dividends are money given to shareholders by a company they’ve invested in. It’s a useful way for companies to get more people to buy shares. Not all companies offer dividends, and even when they do it’s only a few cents per month. Don’t ever use a dividend as a reason to purchase a stock, instead consider other factors that make the company great. They are just an added bonus to some great stocks and some not so great ones.

Bears & Bulls
Why do I keep hearing about bears and bulls? These are terms to descrbe how the stock market is doing. A bull market means that the market is trading up on average. The opposite is a bear market. This means that the market is trading down on average. You always want to invest in a bull market, otherwise you lose money. Nobody knows where the term came from, but some think its because a bull raises its head when its about to charge and a bear lowers it’s head when it’s about to charge.

Stock Brokers
Stock brokers are the people that help you trade stocks. They can be real life people or online programs. Basically they do their best to make sure that your order is filled. If you were to request 50 shares in Apple inc, the stock broker would look for the best deal they could find and then finish the transaction. Personally, I prefer online stock brokers. They are cheaper and quicker to use, although they can’t offer good advice like real stock brokers can.

Trading Time
Trading in the stock market follows rules. One of these rules is the hours that the market is open. People can only buy stocks from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. After that, the market closes and no one can trade until the following day. Someone also can’t trade on weekends or holidays. The market is closed on these days. Click Here to see the holidays that you can’t trade on.

Earls Kitchen + Bar
Earls is a restaurant with an incredible atmosphere. It feels modern but not intimidating or cold. The restaurant has a “friendly” feeling to it. The waitress that served me was very friendly and kind. I wouldn’t recommend Earls for kids under the age of ten though, the selection of food wouldn’t appeal to the tastes of anyone under that age. The food was delicious, I would definitely recommend the margherita pizza if it’s served at a location near you. Earls is a great place to go for a night out. If you’re ever looking for something to do, check out an Earls Kitchen + Bar near you.
Lumosity
Lumosity is an online program created to train your brain. It uses over 45 different games to train several areas of your brain including speed and memory. Lumosity is very fun to use. It will create a daily training session and allows you to play as many games as you want if you pay for an account. The program is super easy to use and gives very detailed training reports. I would give luminosity 8 out of 10 stars. It is super interesting, and it actually works. After a couple months of regular brain trying on Lumosity you can actually notice the results. The reason that Lumosity didn’t receive 10 out of 10 stars is because it costs money, which can add up. I would absolutely recommend starting a lumosity account and paying for a yearly account. Lumosity is a fun way to train your brain for just a few minutes daily.
