if all U.S. dollars were gathered together and given evenly to every American citizen, how much would each person receive?hmm..see this

To fully explore this interesting question, we need to precisely define what is meant by U.S. Dollars. In economics, money is classified into several categories starting with the most liquid and moving to more illiquid assets.
M0 is the term used to describe all physical currency (this would be coins and dollar notes). U.S. M0 is currently equal to about $1.4 trillion dollars. This comes out to be about $4,400 for each of the 320 million citizens of the United States. A nice vacation.
M1 includes M0 as well as demand deposits and checking accounts. This class encompasses accounts that can be immediately converted to cash. M1 is estimated at $3.2 trillion in early July of this year meaning each citizen would receive $10,000. A year’s supply of lobster.
M2 is M1 plus savings deposits, money funds, and other funds that are can be quickly converted to cash. M2 is $12.8 trillion as of may 2016, this would be $40,000 for each citizen. A down payment on a really nice house.
This last one is probably not strictly relevant. But just for fun: if the entire net worth of the United States, approximately $86.8 trillion, where divided among its citizens, each would receive a sizable $271,000 lump sum. Enough for everyone to have a brand new Ferrari 488! However I wouldn’t recommend everyone buy one, as all U.S. infrastructure and material wealth would be traded for several hundred million impractical and no-longer-unique motor vehicles.

Alert: Naira Gains A Massive 5% Against the Dollar

The exchange rate rebounded on Friday to close at N308 at the official interbank market. The local currency gained about 5.2% reversing the N325 it closed with on Thursday. According to reports, the gains was mostly due to a sale of forex by the Central Bank of Nigeria providing enough liquidity to meet the demand currently in the market. The naira has closed at an all time low of N364 to the dollar on Thursday following a surge in demand. The central bank has been selling dollars almost daily to boost liquidity and support the naira.

How to overcome procrastination: this will help you!!!

And so I came across this write up by Gennaro Cuofano, and I thought it wise to share  I do not understand why procrastination is perceived as a very bad thing. I honestly don’t know about you but thank god I am a procrastinator. If it weren’t so right now I would be a fat smoker and a lonely man. If I am not fat is because most of the time I procrastinate in eating food that is unhealthy for me. If I am not a smoker is because I procrastinate in taking another bad habit, which would make me go out during the night to buy a package of cigarettes. If I am not lonely is because each time I am pissed at someone I procrastinate in f***ing them off. I actually wish I was a better procrastinator. If it were the case I would be a much better person than I am. But I am not and I am working on it to become the world’s top procrastinator! Procrastination is a blessing. We have evolved in an environment with limited resources and our body and mind too is the result of a...

BOOM: Nigeria’s External Reserves Drops To Lowest In 11 Years

Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserve fell to $25,780,765,483 (25.78 billion) as of August 16, the lowest we have seen since 2005. The drop was down 2.11% from a month ago. The Nations external reserves dropped below $26 billion for the first time on the 5th of August 2016 after it closed at about $25,971,610,949. In fact, the external reserves has dropped by about $480 million dollars in August alone compared to just $100 million in the whole of July. Ironically, the current balance of $25.9 billion is worth about 80% more than what it was in Naira following the depreciation of the naira after it was floated. The CBN has in the past few days ramped up sales of dollars at the interbank in the hope that it will create liquidity in a market that is yawning gape to swallow forex after nearly almost two years of intense rationing by the CBN. The Naira weakened to its lowest ever at the interbank after it closed at about N362.5/$1 in midday trading. The Naira will eventua...
