Happy friday everyone!

3. What has to happen for you to change your mind?

4. The MLB is getting creative for the 2020 season

5. In the early 1900s, only 5% of Americans brushed their teeth daily. 5 years later it was 80%. Here's why.

Idea of the week: fantasy investing. In a typical year, nothing gets me more fired up for September than fantasy football with my guys. For the next 17 weeks straight, Sundays = redzone  and the days in between = chirping, trades, and research. What would this look like in the world of investing? Everyone could start with $1M of fake money. Pick your bets. Trade stocks. Go head to head to see who can make the most by the end of quarter (season)! I think this would work because it could inherit the same dynamics that make fantasy football great - competition, friends, public data. With some added perks: could happen all year. +win more than bragging rights - build yourself a portfolio that you can show off in interviews, if trying to break into finance, raise a fund etc. 

What's your idea of the week? Would love to hear it!
