The opportunity cost of investing vs. working a minimum-wage job
If I, as an amateur with limited disposable income, put $5,000 into the market, and I have an extremely fortunate year and post a 10% RoI, I will have earned $500 before considering taxes/inflation. Suppose I spend 15 hours per week managing my $5,000 portfolio. I will have worked 780 hours at a rate of $0.64/hr to earn that $500 before taxes. That’s more than an order of magnitude below the minimum wage. To make the equivalent of minimum wage (let’s say $10/hr for simplicity’s sake) using the above figures, I’d need to invest at least $78,000 and pray for a 10% annual RoI. So why does it make sense, or why doesn’t it make sense, to invest at all if I have anything less than several tens of thousands of dollars with which to invest? Otherwise, am I not making well below minimum wage?

Businesses brace for Monday as ransomware threat lingers
Cybersecurity experts said the spread of the virus dubbed WannaCry – “ransomware” which locked up more than 200,000 computers – had slowed, but the respite might only be brief. Infected computers appear to largely be out-of-date devices that organizations deemed not worth the price of upgrading or, in some cases, machines involved in manufacturing or hospital functions that proved too difficult to patch without possibly disrupting crucial operations, security experts said. The group claimed it was stolen from a repository of National Security Agency hacking tools.

Behind the latest fertility-treatment furore lies untold human suffering | Jessica Hepburn
Allegations that women are selling their eggs in exchange for IVF show how murky things become when money and the desperation for a baby intersect
The latest furore to hit the fertility industry exposes what a murky, complicated business it is. A number of the UK’s private clinics have been accused of misleading desperate, cash-strapped fertility patients into donating their own eggs for other people’s treatment. Health secretary Jeremy Hunt said the findings were “serious and worrying” and the UK’s regulator of fertility treatment, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), has launched an investigation.
One of the problems with the exposé is that the situation is far from straightforward. Egg sharing is an established and accepted practice in this country. In return for free treatment, a woman donates some of her own eggs harvested during an IVF cycle to another woman who does not have eggs of her own. It is supposed to be a primarily altruistic gesture, although undoubtedly if you can’t afford IVF there is a financial incentive (ie you don’t have to pay). However, the recent allegations suggest that some clinics are not offering just free treatment but money for eggs (which is not allowed), and that some clinics are proactively promoting the practice in order to obtain eggs to sell on at a significant profit.
