Is socialtrend.com or/and feelthetrend.com legitimate?
"It's called a ""Pyramid scheme"". Its illegal in almost every country of the Western world. You're not going to earn lifetime income, of course, and these things collapse pretty quickly. Most of the ""common folks"" don't return the investment, its the organizers who take the money. Sometimes they run, most times they end up in jail. The way these schemes work is that they pay the early ""investors"" from the fees paid by new ""investors"". As long as a steady stream of new people keep signing up and paying into it those who got in very early make money. The idea is based on the geometric procession of each new person signing up two or more people, and those people doing the same. Pretty quickly at that rate you need to sign up every human being on the planet to keep the new money flowing in to make it work, which obviously is not realistic. Ultimately a small % of the people (if they can stay out of jail) will make a big amount of money the vast majority of ""investors"" get stiffed."
Shareholders are NOT better off in the *long* run if they drive the legitimate streaming companies out of business.  If they took 20% less, they'd had a reliable stream of income for virtually forever. If they don't, they collect more for a few years, then get busted down to zero when the streaming companies go out of business and people just go back to stealing music. When looking for a ventilation system for the house, there are a few construction law prerequisites which you need to know about. The most ideal method for battling rising damp and mould buildup in your house is by introducing a legitimately composed ventilation framework including exhaust fans. I am concerned that you are asking for help with questions regarding NPV. Sure you can regurgitate answers you found online for some of these questions, but if you legitimately don't understand such a basic financial concept like NPV while interviewing for a job in the financial sector, you're probably out of your league. Airbnb can investigate those cases. I've never experienced that before. I likely less than 1% of cases. In fact, I'd be surprised if it's even legitimately taking place. It would be so difficult, and costly, to do such a thing. It may have happened once, it twice, but I doubt it's common. http://www.moneysupermarket.com/shares/CompareSharesForm.asp lists many. I found the Interactive Investor website to be excruciatingly bad. I switched to TD Waterhouse and found the website good but the telephone service a bit abrupt. I often use the data presented on SelfTrade but don't have an account there. Which I just think is a que for Google and Microsoft to start integrating your friends opinions on their status updates into your search experiences. If So and So didn't like this restaurant and left a bad note on Yelp! or another restaurant aggregator, well damnit you are not going to see that in your results. Your friends have spoken.  The next best thing (Social) is going to be a bust for the average internet user. "Wow that's pretty bad with the passwords.  I do have an account there which had my basic website up there but just with their default URL which is when I noticed how much facebook hated that and I hadn't gone through the process of connecting my domain name.  I would have done more research if it was one that took payments or customer info but it's more of a hub for my work and the platforms I'm on so there wasn't that risk so I stuck it up there as a temporary measure, but it doens't seem like it is too good a one by the sounds for the long term.  I also asked about this on r/webdev and I studied both buyshared and AWS (taking advantage of the ""free"" year) and I have now but the website on AWS (it took forever to work it out adn connect the domain but it is finally done now)." "While I've never used Wall Street Survivor, I took a look over the marketing materials and I've seen multiple similar contests run among investment interns also just out of college.  I see some good here and some bad. First off, I love interactive web-based tutorials.  I've used one to learn the syntax of a new programming language and I find the instant feedback and the ability to work at your own pace very useful.  The reviews seem to say that Wall Street Survivor is a good way to learn the basics of how trading stocks works and the lingo.  Also, it seems pretty fun which I've found helps a lot. Wall Street Survivor will hopefully teach you that there are many real stock markets and that they may have somewhat different prices and they likely take the real and timely data from a single market. Wall Street Survivor also frightens me.  The big problem that I see with interns running similar contests is that the market is extremely random over short to medium periods of time.  An intern can make an awful portfolio or even pick stocks at random and still win the contest.  These interns know a lot about the randomness in markets already so they don't believe they are trading geniuses because they won a contest, I'm not sure there is much to temper this view on this web-site. Also, while Wall Street Survivor teaches you about trading it doesn't appear to teach you about investing.  The website appears to encourage short term views and changing positions a lot and doesn't seem to simulate the full trading costs (including fees) that would eat away at the gains of a individual investor that trades that much.  It gives some help with longer term thinking like diversification, but also seems to encourage trading that makes Wall Street Survivor more money, but are likely detrimental to the user. I would say have fun with Wall Street Survivor. Let it teach you some things about trading, but don't give the site much if any money.  At the same time, pick up a copy of short book called ""A Random Walk Down Wall Street"" and start learning about investing at the same time.
