Let's Take a Page from HG Wells and Create a Super Meet-up
Well, the ActiveRain Points store is offering an opportunity to turn points into dreams, but, unfortunately, I don't have enough points to make a super dream materialize, unless I pull off a little bit of magic.
Well, having committed a bunch of points already, I need to find a way to increase my financial base to help my fellow ActiveRain members.
Well, I did a consult with CT native, Michael J. Fox and believe I have the ability to get my answer.
I have an available 1,500,000 points, which would be the equivalent of $150,000.
Being allowed to borrow that iconic Delorean DMC-12, I am going back to the early 1970's, 1980's, 90's and 2000 to take advantage of history, or some may look at it as super-hot tips.
A quick look at history, would offer that a $20,000 investment in select stocks such as Apple, Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, and MDU Resources would have given back a return of $ 150,000,000.
Add in a few select sports bets, such as chances of the Red Sox beating the Yankees 4 straight to win the AL pennant and then the World Series would push in an additional $10,000,000.
So, what happens with the accumulated wealth? Well, after frustrating a bunch of distant relatives and people that barely knew my name, I look to create a super Meet-up for the ActiveRain Community.
Newbies may not appreciate what these were. Well, across the country, members were encouraged to get together to meet up with other members to shake the hand and enjoy the evening or afternoon. These were highly successful and tightened many a friendship.
I sought to make it convenient and sought the geographical venter of the country which put me in a field south of Belle Forche in South Dakota. Not Accessible.
So, using the resources of the community, we'll gather in the greater Chicago area, specifically in Rosemont where there is an ideal convention center, and using the yellow bananas as well as the multitude of venues, we'll have the bestest Meet-up ever and my shrewd investment strategy will make it affordable for all.
A link will be posted sometime in July for all to register.
This is a post for the ActiveRain June Challenge .
