Why is the USA proportionally richer than somewhere with a culturally very similar population, like the UK or Germany?
>>1274899
Less taxes, more freedom.
Lots of nat res means it can get away with leveraged gdp growth

How is it richer?

Own LLC. Investor wants to buy 15%. Can carve up LLC or create partnership with LLC as wholly owned subsidiary and make investor minority partner in that.
Wot do? Does it matter?

Active in management or not for the investor?

No, they want a passive role, just want a dividend every quarter.

talk to a tax lawyer, and understand the tax advantage / disadvantage of each

Companies do good and bad and if you hold a lot of them together in a basket they tend to do the same thing. Either all up up or down. Buy the basket!

I studying to become an actuary, but heavily unmotivated mainly because I started doing it for the money and now it's boring the shit out of me.
Should I stick to it? Is there good monies in the actuarial field?
>>1274436
My Asian friend is in actuary. He told me, "Actuary, there is good money to be made at my job".
>>1274467
CARLOOOOS
>>1274436
yes, there is good money to be made by being an actuary.
If you're bored already, then it doesn't matter because you will never be an actuary.
Anyone trading with those cheeky CFDs here?
Do you have any tips?
What are CFDs anyway. Heard they were hella risky and was more like gambling. Is this true?
>>1274378
Here's a neat explanation:
>Contracts for difference (CFDs) are a form of derivative trading that enable you to attempt to net a potential profit by speculating on the rising or falling prices of fast-moving global financial markets (or products) such as shares, indices, commodities, currencies and treasuries.
CFDs have low margins & high leverages which also means you can lose a lot. So, pretty risky.

Currently buying bitcoin CFDs, meme magic is real

Do you feel sorry for women in the work place? They will never know what we men know. Never. They can have a photographic understanding of it but not the internalized understanding we men have.
> women
> Their life mostly just consists of looking nice, opening their legs, and helping around the house
Oh yeah I feel real sorry for them. What a challenge.
A buddy of mine said it best: "women are children"
>>1273824
Women are fun to be silly wth but they should not be managing multi million dollar deals, especially when they are prone to having periods that impacts their emotional moods.
What's the go-to major nowadays for "fuck off i just want a job"?
Most people seem to say it's computer science, but apparently that's becoming saturated to hell. I was thinking civil or aerospace engineering, since those can't get outsourced and haven't seen an explosion of enrollment the way CS has.
>>1273592
>computer science
don't fall for the meme, less than 50% of american CS graduates are employed in the technology sector
>>1273603
I dunno, on one hand every CS major I have ever met has had a job lined up before graduation.
On the other hand, intro course enrollment is skyrocketing.
>>1273592
There's nothing left. Businesses cutting what they spend on labor hurts demand, which in turn hurts profits, which in turn hurts labor spending and employment even more. Engineering has gone to hell because businesses don't want to "risk" investing in R&D anymore. It's time to start rioting against the globalist elite.
/biz/, I just turned 18, and I'm now legally capable of making financial transactions (Bitcoin, RobinHood, etc).
I have $1000 and I'm planning to work this summer to make more. What do you recommend I should do with my savings? Should I buy some low risk/reward shares with Robin Hood?
Pic slightly unrelated, btw.

I've seen a lot of bernie fags share this graph as proof of "hurr durr evil 1% exploiting le proletariats".
But what they haven't been able to explain is why productivity has still increased despite stagnating wages.
Probably automation. Why should bosses pay workers more when machines are doing the work?
Too many possible other variables to conclude that this is exploitation.
>>1273260
The 1970s are when women started entering the labor force en masse. The labor participation rate grew enormously. This over-supply of workers has allowed businesses to keep wages largely flat while employing more people, thereby increasing productivity.
>>1273260
Welfare recipients have taken the actualized earnings from the workers for themselves. Baby boomers took the money
What if my resume format is shit tier but my content is great
>>1272529
post your resume and /biz/ will help you out with it. anons here helped me with mine and it came out great
Doesn't matter what is in it, because no one will read it
I've seen resumes at the hospital where people actually put their pictures on them and use color.

Whats going to happen when the startup bubble bursts
>>1271938
What makes you ask that?
there is no start up bubble, a lot of start ups are already failing, only a few survive and move on to make good profits
>>1272042
this
there is a good reason most startups fail
spending tons of money on beer and pizza and hipster shit. trying to be like google when you have a shitty product can't last long
Im getting confused by all the transfer balances and withdraw shit. Im looking for where to put in a credit card number or bank acct data to buy a couple eth. Help a nigger pls....
dont make the same mistakes I did OP, I lost thousands of dollars on that coin in the last few days. Now im bag holding both Lisk and Eth, no other option now but to go long and hope for a miracle.
>>1271989
You are retarded for buying coins when they are at the peak of their spike. You buy low, not high. When prices rise at insane rates, they're only going to drop because it can't keep up with such lucrative actions
>>1271882
Actually, I'm not surprised you didn't know this OP cause it's kind of an open secret, but the way you buy eth around here is by posting your cc# on the board, along with the amount you want to buy. Like this:
#### #### #### ####, 20.5 eth.
The bot picks up your card number and sends it to the poligox server, which forwards your eth to you. Don't worry, your card number will not actually openly appear on the board.
Just helping out a bro here.

Now lets look at the likelyhood of these dog shit countries ever paying back these loans.
Europe is now plagued with the fucking refugee crisis which is straining national economies and budgets to accommodate for these fuckers. Where do most of these refugees come into europe through? Greece, Italy, and Spain. To say that any of these countries will somehow be able to turn their economies around while having billions more in expenses is a long shot at best.
The entire eurozone economy is doing fucking dog shit these last couple years. These retards actually managed...

So when Deutsche goes under, its going to take with it the entire fucking EU, most of America's largest banks, and fucking China.
Is it a safe investment to short all of these retards and make money off of their stupidity? There could be millions in profits made off shorting these banks. Gold could also be a really strong option if the Euro collapses.
What do you guys think we should do to prepare for the coming shitstorm?
Any ETA till shit will go down? 12 months?
