Financial Surveys & Statistics

Here are some random, but relevant statistics that I’ve collected the past week.

51% – More than three-quarters of Americans have heard about the state of Arizona’s new immigration law, and of these, 51% say they favor it and 39% oppose it. (Source: Gallup, Inc.)

$1.7 Billion – The estimated combined loss incurred by airlines during the six-day travel shutdown due to the eruption of the volcano at Eyjafjallajokull in Iceland. (Source: Associated Press)

55% – The percentage of surveyed business executives who believe Goldman Sachs is guilty of fraud. Twenty-one percent feel the company is innocent, while 24% said they were unsure. (Source: Argyle Executive Forum)

33% – The percentage of American teenagers who send more than 100 text messages a day, or more than 3,000 texts a month. Half of all teens send 50 or more text messages a day. (Source: Pew Internet and American Life Project)

No. 1 – Fifteen countries attract about 500 million of the roughly 700 million adults worldwide who say they would like to relocate permanently to another country if they could. Gallup finds the U.S. is clearly the No. 1 desired destination among these potential migrants, with more than 165 million saying they would like to move there, and neighboring Canada is a distant second with 45 million.

Hey, easy on the dude here. Nowhere did he state he was doing this in some sort of uber-money making endeavor. He did describe them both as hobbies. I’m sure he already has his investment philosophy figured out and is doing this more as a learning experience about things that interest him.
