The likelihood of picking the best performing stock in the S&P 500 every trading day-248 of them-this year makes winning the lottery seem like a sure thing.
Nonetheless, if you did it in 2014, you could have made yourself a billionaire in just eight and a half months from a $1,000 investment.
To accomplish this feat, you'd have to invest entirely in just one stock every day, and that stock would have to be the largest gainer of the S&P 500 on that day. Likewise, you would have to sell just as the stock started to lose value.
Each day you'd reinvest all of your money in what you'd thought would be that day's largest gainer, and you'd have to be right.

Attempting this strategy blindly is a very bad idea.
But if you like the idea of turning $1,000 into $1 billion, you might be in luck.
That's because Wall Street veteran, Keith Fitz-Gerald has developed a new strategy that only spots stocks as they're going up, and then spots them again as they're going down.
The formula can't spot every stock on the S&P, but Fitz-Gerald is confident in its ability, stating "you will, with 100% certainty, only buy stocks that are going up."
Fitz-Gerald is being hailed by Forbes as a "business visionary."
His formula, developed with 15 years of back-tested data, has spotted some of the most exceptional gains in recent history including:
  • 2,941% on Terra Nitrogen
  • 542% on Intercept
  • 7,476% on Monster Beverage Corp.
  • 2,566% on Kingold Jewelry Inc.
  • 1,478% on Radcom Ltd.
  • 1,328% on U.S. Global Investors
In fact, Fitz-Gerald is so confident in his discovery, he's putting $1.895 million on the line.
In moments, after clicking the link below, you are going to see how Fitz-Gerald's new formula can allow you to make huge, triple-digit windfalls.
That means some very fortunate people are about to make a lot of money from this.
And we want to make sure you are one of them.

Eritrean refugee Adal, who has requested we withhold his family name, in this photo taken Aug. 21, 2015, …
MILAN (AP) — Adal Neguse, an Eritrean immigrant whose brother drowned in a smuggler's boat while trying to reach Italy in 2013, knows all too well what might be in store for the relatives of those dying now in similar accidents in the Mediterranean.

Months of anguish over whether their loved one's body will be found.
The emotional pain of looking at photos of badly disfigured corpses.
Red tape and wasted time with bureaucrats who "just talk and talk" but don't keep their promises.
As record numbers of desperate people from the Middle East, Africa and Asia flood into Europe, hundreds are also dying in risky journeys arranged by unscrupulous smugglers, and authorities are struggling to identify those victims.
When the body of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi washed up on a Turkish beach along with those of his mother and brother, he came to represent others who also have perished trying to seek a better life. But unlike the young Syrian refugee, many of them remain anonymous and unclaimed.
As of Sept. 1, at least 364,000 people have crossed the Mediterranean to Europe this year. More than 2,800 have died, or are lost and presumed dead, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Only about a third of the bodies recovered are ever identified, said Frank Laczko, head of the IOM's Global Migration Data Analysis Center in Berlin.
"If each person has 10 relatives, that's close to 30,000 people who are affected," Laczko said. Besides the emotional pain, survivors must cope with legal issues such as property ownership to the right to remarry.
When Austrian authorities opened a truck apparently abandoned by smugglers on a highway near Vienna on Aug. 27, they discovered 71 badly decomposed bodies of men, women and children, and officials said some may never be identified. Another tragedy that same day left Libyan authorities with the task of identifying scores of bodies from two boats that sank off the coast.
In a commercial disaster like a plane crash, authorities have passenger manifests, electronic tickets, credit card records and data from travel agencies to work with. But human traffickers understandably usually keep no records when they arrange passage to Europe for those paying cash, so there are no emergency contacts and no way to contact relatives. And many refugees carry no ID.
Laczko said his agency wants a Europe-wide database for families to provide information about missing relatives and for authorities to distribute details about bodies they have found. He also wants far more attention paid to mining data from cellphones found on victims.
In the case of the truck ditched in Austria, experts are studying documents found with the dead but also have taken their fingerprints, DNA samples and dental information, in addition to data from 10 cellphones, police spokesman Helmut Marban said.
A hotline with Arabic, English and German speakers received more than 100 calls in its first two days. The victims included Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan refugees, police said Friday, but no identities have been established. Marban would not disclose if any relatives have been located, citing an ongoing criminal investigation.
Some 2,576 people, mostly Eritreans and other sub-Saharan Africans, have died or are missing this year in the longer and more hazardous sea route from Libya to Europe, and most of the estimated 600 bodies recovered have ended up in Libya or Italy, according to the IOM. At the same time, about 116,649 have arrived safely in Italy.
Greece has logged 245,274 arrivals via the shorter route from Turkey, with 102 people dead or missing. Sixty of those bodies were recovered and most of them were brought to Greece, while some were sent to Turkey, the IOM said.
When the bodies end up in Italy, its main forensics team, based in Sicily, gathers what information it can: fingerprints, a DNA sample, dental information and a list of tattoos and any other distinguishing marks.
Italy has plenty of experience, dealing with maritime disasters involving smugglers' boats for years. But two tragedies in 2013 off Lampedusa, a tiny island 70 miles (115 kilometers) closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, changed much about how the world views the waves of migrants.
On Oct. 3, 2013, a trawler sank near the island, and authorities recovered 368 bodies, mostly of Eritrean refugees. Eight days later, there was another shipwreck south of Lampedusa in which nearly 200 people are believed to have drowned.
Until recently, the bodies found were recorded in Italy's missing persons' register sparely: "African ethnicity," or even "shipwrecked." The minimal descriptions belied an official view of the futility of ever getting a positive identification.
"Before there was the view that we only needed to identify Italians. In reality, that's not the case," said Vittorio Piscitelli, who took over the government office for missing people in 2013.
The office recorded 1,300 missing people through June 30, 2014, most of them Italians and some dating back decades, but also including hundreds of migrants. From Oct. 18, 2013, through Aug. 26, 2015, Italy has received a total of 382 bodies, the Interior Ministry said.
Piscitelli and his team joined with other organizations to create a protocol for identifying the dead from the October 2013 tragedies. This year, they began reaching out to migrant and refugee communities in Europe to find relatives to help with the process. North America is next.
The physical descriptions in the Italian missing persons' ledger have grown more robust, and DNA samples were taken of all the October 2013 victims to help resolve more cold cases.
So far, the official protocol applies only to the October 2013 shipwrecks. DNA samples were not typically taken of migrant victims prior to those tragedies, and the identification process is otherwise handled by local police, meaning relatives must figure out which jurisdiction to contact. Piscitelli hopes to be able to expand it to apply to more recent wrecks.
Of the 368 bodies recovered from the Oct. 3, 2013, sinking and the 21 bodies in the second shipwreck, 195 were identified right away, Piscitelli said. Under the new protocols, nine more bodies have been identified, with tentative IDs on another 19.
One of the dead from Oct. 3 was the 26-year-old brother of Neguse, the Eritrean immigrant.
Neguse considers himself "the lucky one" to have his brother Abraham identified.
In an interview in a park near his Stockholm home, Neguse said the process took 18 agonizing months — from the moment smugglers in Libya confirmed his brother was aboard to the final DNA confirmation.
He went to Lampedusa immediately to seek information about his brother's fate, looking at hundreds of photos of the dead and eventually giving up under the emotional strain of seeing so many badly disfigured faces.
"I was there one week, and I couldn't find him. But I talked to his friend who was there. He told me ... he drowned. But I didn't get an official answer to my questions," Neguse said.
No one took a DNA sample from him on that visit. He finally gave one when he was there again for a memorial on the tragedy's anniversary. While there, he was told results would come in a month; the positive identification actually took six months.
"They promised a lot of things, but they don't keep their promises," he said.
Neguse said officials told him that Abraham is buried in Sicily in a grave that is marked with a number but not a name.
Piscitelli said identifying the remaining bodies from the October 2013 wrecks will require help from relatives, many of whom are out of reach inside oppressive nations or in conflict zones.
A group called the Oct. 3 Committee, meanwhile, works with the Eritrean diaspora in Europe, seeking both DNA samples and documents.
Gergishu Yohannes, an Eritrean living in Germany for 30 years, assists others who are struggling with the uncertainty of a vanished relative.
She is motivated by the loss of her brother, Abel, who disappeared in 2009 while on a small boat from Libya to Italy and has never been found.
The craft, carrying 85 people, ran out of fuel near Malta. Adrift and out of food and water, the passengers began dying one by one, and their bodies were thrown overboard. When Italians finally rescued three weeks after they had set off, only five remained alive, Yohannes said.
She helps others, she said, "so that they won't have a fate like me, waiting every day, and can identify their loved ones."
Until her brother's body is found, Yohannes said she cannot rest.
San Francisco's Only Privately-Held Island Gets Massive Price Cut

San Francisco's Only Privately-Held Island Gets Massive Price Cut (ABC News)
The only privately-held island in San Francisco Bay is on sale with a massive price cut.

.
Red Rock Island hit the market in 2012 for $22 million before it was slashed to $9 million, but now it can be yours for $5 million. The 5.5-acre property is mostly rock and minerals, and its previous owners boasted of its potential gas reserves. But with a possible outcry from San Francisco residents over the prospect of drilling there, the real estate agent handling the property envisions other uses amid the skyrocketing real estate prices in the area.

Ebay Seller Who Sued Over Negative Feedback Ordered to Pay Customers' Legal Fees
In the first quarter of the 19th century, Russian hunters trapped otters on the island, SFGate.com reported. One of the previous owners, Mendel Glickman, son of Frank Lloyd Wright, thought it could be a vacation getaway, in addition to tapping gas reserves. Glickman purchased it for less than $50,000, according to SFGate.com.
When Glickman died, the property eventually went to his son, David, an attorney who now lives in Thailand, and his business associate Mack Durning.
"The Durning sons are the owners of record, and they do want to sell it," Steven Higbee, the real estate agent handling the property, told ABC News. "It's kind of in strange limbo at this point. It's been dormant for probably three years."

Higbee said the island is within the boundaries of three counties: Marin, Contra Costa and San Francisco. David Glickman would travel to the island by helicopter, Higbee said, though there is no helipad.
"It's a big dome hump. It's solid rock with grass and trees at the top, but the grass is low and the helicopter can land without a problem," Higbee said.
"At this point, everybody goes back and forth by boat. The Boy Scouts used it for years for camping," Higbee said. "It's a short ride by boat predicated by where you're coming from. It's readily accessible from Sausalito, San Francisco or the Richmond shores."
The north side of the island faces the Richmond Bridge.
"The north side has a fairly nice beach for the Bay Area, though the other sides are pretty rocky. It's a gravely beach," Higbee said.

Ever wondered how much purchase power your paycheck is really packing? The folks at coupon tracking site Retale.com developed a fun new tool that lets users plug in their annual salary and find out how many hours (or days, weeks, months, even years) it would take them to be able to afford certain basic goods like housing, a car, or a meal.
On an average U.S. household income of $51,393, it would take a worker more than 11 minutes to earn enough to buy a $4 burger and three-and-a-half YEARS (without a raise, that is) to scrounge up enough to pay (all cash) for a house (median price: $188,900).
If that’s not fun (depressing?) enough, you can also use the tool to compare your salary's purchasing power to people in other professions, such as a lawyer, a CEO, a truck driver, and even celebrities like LeBron James and Oprah Winfrey. In the time it would take a typical worker to earn $25, Oprah, who earns a staggering $300 million in annual income, has already banked close to $150,000. On the plus side, that worker would have more purchasing power than a construction worker, who would earn $15 in an hour with an average take-home pay of $31,460 a year.

Serena Williams reacts after winning a point against Bethanie Mattek-Sands during the third round of the U.S. Open …
NEW YORK – It took seven minutes for Bethanie Mattek-Sands to set the pace against Serena Williams on Friday night. Mattek-Sands, who earned a wildcard entry to the main draw, served first. She fought off a break point to take the 1-0 lead, then built double-break point and converted to go up 2-0. She fought off another break point to go up 3-0. All in seven minutes.
Both players had predicted an aggressive match – and before a raucous crowd, they more than delivered. For nearly an hour, it looked like Mattek-Sands might become the villain in Serena's fairytale year.
Mattek-Sands took the first set and held serve through six games in the second. She broke Serena's serve as the 21-time Grand Slam champion served for the second set, bringing the set to 5-all.
But then, like so many other potential spoilers this year, Mattek-Sands ran out of steam. Or, really, she sparked the fire that is Serena. And once that fire ignites, there's no controlling it. From 5-5, Serena won eight straight games to close out the 3-6, 7-5, 6-0 victory.
"She played really well. She played a really aggressive game," Serena said in her post-match press conference. "I don't think her level really dropped. I thought I just picked up my level."
Her fairytale continues – but the first two sets Friday, she faced an intense gut check.
Mattek-Sands is ranked 100 places higher than Serena in the WTA rankings, the No. 101 playing the No. 1. This is her 13th U.S. Open, but only her first appearance in the third round. She played crisp, clean tennis as she broke Serena twice in the first set. That’s all she really had to do; Serena was busy beating herself.
Trailing 3-5, Serena had double-break point to stay in the set. She failed to convert, one of her 15 missed opportunities in the match. At deuce, Serena overshot a forehand, slamming the ball when she could have dropped it in at the net. That gave Mattek-Sands set point. Serena shanked another forehand wide. First set to Mattek-Sands. Serena had 14 unforced errors in that set; Mattek-Sands had one.
As the players walked to their seats between sets, the DJ in Arthur Ashe Stadium played “Let it go,” the song made famous by the Disney movie “Frozen.” If Serena didn’t heed the message, her historic year would have soon ended.

Serena Williams reacts after a point against Bethanie Mattek-Sands during the third round of the U.S. Open tennis …
Every time she steps onto the court, Serena knows how much history is on the line. She says she tries to just concentrate on the task at hand, on the match of the day. But it's impossible to forget that with a win at the U.S. Open, she’d become the first player to complete a calendar Grand Slam since Steffi Graf did so in 1988; that she’d pass Chris Evert for most U.S. Open wins; that she’d be even with Graf at the top of the all-time Grand Slam win list in the Open Era. "I mean, it's there. I'm not a robot or anything," she said in her post-match press conference.
The second set stayed on serve through six games. Serena had missed 11 of 12 break point opportunities to that point. When she converted, she crouched to the ground, looked to the stands and let out her trademark "Come on," fists and racket in the air. She draws energy from the crowd in New York, even when it isn't in her favor. On Friday, the fans were sending her as much love as possible.
"I usually don't have a cheering crowd for me, so it definitely feels good," she said later. "They usually cheer for the underdog, but I think everyone wants to see me go far, I guess, this year... It feels amazing every time I play. I think, if anything, it helps me." In the break between the second and third sets, the DJ had switched to "Don't stop the party." Serena granted that wish.
She'll face fellow American Madison Keys on Sunday. Keys advanced with a 6-3, 6-2 win over higher-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska. This is her fourth U.S. Open main draw and the first time she's advanced to the fourth round. She's played Serena once before, a 7-6, 6-2 loss in the semifinal at this year's Australian Open.
"Her determination is unlike anyone else's," the younger American said. "You could be watching a match and she'd be down 6-0, 5-0, 40-Love, and you still don't think she's going to lose. You think she's going to come back and win."
"You have to be so focused on every point because you can't let up. You know she could come back at any moment, so you just have to keep going for your shots and not let yourself drift off.
