How much of being an investor is about mathematics or calculations?

To make an investing decision do you mostly focus on mathematical calculations or is it more about gut feel or other judgments? I ask because I want to understand how interesting or boring it might be. I don’t have any trouble with math, but I don’t really want to spend all day calculating things. I’m interested in investing so wanted to learn more about it. Thank you #finance #financial-services #investment-management #investing

How do I apply for scholarships?

I am going into my junior year of high school and I need to start preparing for college very soon. My family isn't well off and so I will definitely have to take out student loans in order to pay off my college debt. I am not too familiar with how scholarships work. My brother is 4 years older than me, but never applied for any scholarships to lower his tuition. I know there are scholarships for almost everything and anything, so if any of you can help me out or link me to any of these scholarships, I will be delighted! If you need to know anything about who I am or what kind of person I am for certain types of scholarships, let me know! #college #student #scholarships #financial-services #scholarship #tuition
