SoFi Turns Losers Into Winners (and Investors) with the So Money Sweepstakes

Up to 200 HQ Trivia Losers Each Day from February 12-16 Will Win $25 in a SoFi Invest Account and “So Money” Card Game

San Francisco, CALIF. – February 12, 2018 – SoFi announced today that those who lose at HQ Trivia, the popular app and live trivia game show where people can win cash prizes, now have an opportunity to win with SoFi.

From February 12th through 16th, SoFi will award $25 in a SoFi Invest account to 200 losers of HQ Trivia each day. To enter for a chance to win, all people need to do is Tweet to @SoFi on Twitter with a screenshot of their HQ loss screen and the hashtag #SoMoneyEntry. In addition to the $25, winners will also receive SoFi’s new card game, “So Money,” featuring playful questions that aim to encourage people to talk more openly about their financial lives.

SoFi’s first-ever card game, ‘So Money’, encourages open conversation about finances

“We can’t all be trivia masters, but we all have the ability to start investing for the future and to talk about money with our friends,” said SoFi CMO Joanne Bradford, whose best score is 6 out of 12 questions. “We hope this shows people just how easy it is to get started, and that it’s not scary to have these conversations.”

SoFi Invest is a modern investment management platform that allows U.S. customers to invest as little as $500 in automated portfolios made up of low-cost exchange-traded-funds. There are no fees for the first $10,000 invested and the rate is just 0.25% per year after that. Customers have access to live advisors who can recommend a mix of funds based on each individual’s’ age, income, assets and needs. The company waives all SoFi fees for borrowers.

No purchase necessary to enter or win. Entrants must be legal residents of the 50 US (+DC) age 18 or older who have a public Twitter profile. View sweepstakes rules, including how to enter and prize details in SoFi’s blog post here.

This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, HQ Trivia and Twitter.

The Market Went Down—What Now?

The S&P 500 has fallen more than 10%. The Dow drops more than 1,000 points.

I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines about the market movements over the past few days and might be worried. That’s not surprising. If you own stocks, they may have lost some value, which doesn’t feel great.

But, let’s put this dip into perspective. In Wall Street terms, we’ve been in what’s called a “bull market” since 2009. A decline of 10% or more in a bull market—which we’ve sseen in the past few days—is called a “correction.” Bull markets in the past have averaged about one correction a year. The last one we had was February of 2016, so we’ve been overdue.

But here’s something else you should know: While Wall Street traders might be panicking a bit, for the average investor, like you, there’s no cause for alarm. The economy still appears to be on solid footing if you look at things like unemployment and company earnings. And in many ways, this market dip was expected.
