<span>Basically "Opportunity cost" is what you're going to lose (or have a potential to lose) if you chose a different action than what you're presented with. In the example, you're working for $15 an hour, but if you decide instead to skip a pratrice to go to the fair you're losing out of the $15 an hour you'll be paid and have to pay $9 to go to the fair. All total, you're opportunity costs for that will be $24 (fifteen you would have made plus the nine dollar fee.) This is also assuming, of course, they don't fire/dock you for just skipping work.</span>

Describe the abilities of someone with analytical/research skills. Somebody please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neko [114]
Somebody whose job is to provide analytics or research should always be someone who is very good at quantitative analysis.  They should be good with math and numbers, because their job is to analyze a business.  The same goes for research.  A good researcher is good at math because they have to analyze large datasets.  This person would also be pretty detail-oriented because they need to make sure that they are not making small mistakes, as small mistakes could result in poor decisions that come out of their analysis.

Does that make sense?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Diverisify

Explanation:

The best option would be to diverisify between various things. Part into a promising crypto such as Ethereum or Bitcoin. Part into some basic index funds such as the SPY (S&P500), some bigger tech companies such as Apple and finally a more risky investment into a stock or crypto which is only in the beginning of its age. If you would like protection against a crisis or similar you could buy some Put options for your stocks.
