Financial Surveys & Statistics
Here are some random, but relevant statistics that I’ve collected the past week.
6.41% – The percentage of people who are millionaires in Hawaii, the highest of any state. That amounts to 28,363 households. Mississippi has the lowest percentage of millionaire households, with 3.06% or 33,792. (Source: Phoenix Marketing International)
43% – The percentage increase in the cost of TV ads for the upcoming Masters golf tournament (April 5-11) after Tiger Woods chose that venue to mark his return to golf. With Mr. Woods playing, a 30-second commercial costs about $500,000; without him, it would have cost $350,000. (Source: Bloomberg News)
22% – The percentage decrease in the 2009 median bonus payout to CEOs of companies with at least $1 billion in sales. The median bonus declined to $689,000, from $882,000 in 2008. (Source: Rasmussen Reports)
$1.8 B – The estimated cost in “unproductive wages” to U.S. companies last week as a result of workers’ spending time cheering on their teams during the first round of March Madness. (Source: San Jose Mercury News)
14 – The number of companies in the S&P 500 that have chairwomen. Eleven of those women are also chief executives of their companies. (Source: The Corporate Library)

I think sex addiction is a farce. I honestly do. There are whores and there are dogs. I think he should have just admitted that it was a real @$$hole thing to do to cheat on his wife-and stop trying to place the blame on a make believe addiction.
So without any conclusive evidence to support sex is an addiction, I’m of the opinion that before entering into any extra bedroom activity that excludes a wife maybe looking before leaping should be the best course of action. Preventative measures work best.
A great constructive article will help to understand the issue. Very good post. I have been searching for this post since many days. Now I get it. Thanks
Basically, chances of identifying some sort of new trading strategy that hasn’t already been incorporated by the market is slim. You’re up against hedge funds and investment banks that each employ dozens and dozens of quants who have years of experience, accumulated algorithms and insight on there side.
Can someone give me a link to a site that shows a survey/statistics with at least 25 data entries?
