Asset Bubble (Economic)
Reference: https://www.thebalance.com/asset-bubble-causes-examples-and-how-to-protect-yourself-3305908

I found this interesting article about the growing number of asset bubbles appearing in our economy. Just like Snapchat going public in 2016 and the rise of Bitcoin in 2017, new companies that are open to being invested in typically increasing price that predicts for a big selloff if sold at its peak.

I believe an opportunity may arise if one may invest wisely in an asset bubble company and would make a profit if only investing for a short period of time.

The "customer" or better yet the one that may profit from this enlightenment of these asset bubbles are maybe people with free time and some extra money to invest. This opportunity may be relatively difficult to exploit due to the tediousness it requires.

Some people might not see this opportunity at first glance because most are skeptical with the stock market, to begin with, therefore will not invest in the time to do so.

This article is about how the surplus of oil supply affecting the global economy of oil.

I believe an opportunity of investing in oil companies may deem a great asset if done so wisely. The customer would be the one benefitting from the oversupply. This opportunity is relatively difficult to exploit because not many are experienced with understanding the market.

I formed the belief of people investing in the oil market due to its increase in supply. With this information, investors may attain profits for their contributions.

Influencer Marketing is Evolving (Regulatory)

The whole article is about different ways people can benefit through social media today. The one I want to address is the one claiming that advertisements can be done with anyone with a popular enough stature on social media.

I believe there is an opportunity to thrive by working with multiple companies, using one's platform in order to get their product more attention.

The people benefiting are the customers interested in the product, the advertisers potentially getting paid, and the company itself for cheap advertisement. 

I believe this is a relatively easy opportunity to foresee because it requires little effort.

Someone may not find this opportunity appealing because it may sound redundant at first and possibly annoying, however, if done right and consistently it may be worth it.

PTC Smartly Readies Factories For Their Digital Transformation

The article is about there being a new market of employers with the digital age among us.

There are many jobs being replaced by machines. Why not learn how to fix the machines that people are being replaced with? The opportunity is all about investing time to seasoned workers who are unfamiliar with today's digital age and give them the opportunity to shine and prove themselves by potentially giving them another job.

This opportunity most benefits people looking to work. The idea is that third-party companies are hired to teach common folk how to work within the digital age of the working class.

This may be a relatively easy task for some and difficult for others due to the clientele the concept is built for.

Someone may not find the opportunity right away due to the work it requires, but I believe it would be ideal for today's working class.
