Is a wsj sub a good investment?
paying for yesterdays news in advance.
The best news source is the market itself. once you've got decent filters in place the news hits you.

Elaborate
Not really
WSJ is nothing more than left wing opinion pieces now and yesterday's news.
You're not going to get anything useful out of it and there are plenty of free sources that report on the dame things.
It's entertainment, not education
Are americans overpaid?
I have alot of female friends who literally can sweet talk you and thats it. That is their entire skill set- to be charming. That is all they can do. They cant do complex math, they cant be clairvoyant they basically cant do shit. And these girls all make at least 70k a year.
Its not just girls but u get the point.
>>1239275
Have you seen the stats on charming sweet talking men. $100K average and all the manspreading at morning meetings makes for standing room only.
Humans are sex-obsessed, so charming people are in high demand, both as potential partners and as friends.

Why does that matter?
I'm spending the next few months trying to save up money so I can invest in something. I like to idea of starting my own business or putting my money into something else that will net me returns.
However, I've been hearing a lot about how you can easily find investors and get loans for this. I'm wondering if the time I'm currently spending saving up money working could be better used learning a skill or working on a business plan. Or regardless is it always good to have some money saved up? I started with $500 and I'm aiming to get about $7000...

Education is worthless.
Teach yourself and go to community college.

Does this ever happen or am I looking too deep into it?
So I am on verge of promotion and bosses boss took an extra interest in me the last month.
Slowly though has gotten fucking vicious and hostile. Any time I showed weakness he pushed harder and got more vicious. Finally I had enough after working twelve hours he does a total 180 on work he approved before. So then I rage quit.
So I'm wondering. Was this all a test to see if I could handle the pressure? Do bosses do this shit ?
But then WTF how the hell much can someone be expected to take?

You were going to replace your boss. He played it clever enough to get you out of the way. Possible?

What do you think of my /biz/ness idea guys
Move to country with low currency value like Japan.
Withdraw 1 yen notes. Stick them together and wrap it up and sell it as toilet paper.
Total cost of 180 sheet toilet paper roll: 180 yen = $1.65
Selling price $ 2.00
That sounds solid
You should get started on it immediately
Fucking BAKA GAIJIN
1 yen note, u stupid?
I have just turned 18 and from Istanbul, Turkey. I am still a high school junior right now, but the senior year is too close.
I am planning to move to NYC and go to university there, but I haven't prepared for it and don't know what to do, literally nothing. It is just an idea right now.
My plan is to move to NYC, go to a university there (for free if possible) and while doing those, I'll be doing ventures etc, since I'm a very entrepreneurial person.
Can you guide me, give me tips or anything /biz/? Thanks!
>>1239140
looks like you want it easy, try norther europe. you are not prepared for nyc
>>1239154
Could you please elaborate by saying I want easy? Yeah, easy would be better for sure but I guess trying to survive in NYC just by myself will make me a real man.

So I'm graduating highschool next month and while most of my friends are going to college, I plan on starting my own business by next year. I never agreed with the way formal education was set up with so many flaws in today's educational system which I can go on and on about. Most people I assume go to college to take the safe road in life because they think a piece of fancy paper will give them job security for life with benefits. (Which is funny to me because many college students don't even have a job lined up after graduation( not to mention the shit ton of...

Ok?
For being as smart as you feel you are. You're not as smart as you think. Can you get a good job out of college. Sure can. Is college a meme and arguably unnecessary. Arguably yes. If starting a business was easy, everyone would do it.
Let's view this:the next few days, go on here and check how many people tell you college is worthless and how everyone wants to start a business and compare that to the zero people who started a business and succeeded who dogged on college.
Successful people or business owners were going to be just that. College...

Fucking hell anon its like you aren't even asking for advice. You just opened my eyes right there and im not kidding. You just answered your question no you don't need college but yes you do need it to get accepted/succesful in this society.

I always thought it was cute that "smart" people always have trouble with tests; you know, those things that are used to determine how much you know.

The basic premise is that all money is created by the government. In a very narrow kinda way this is correct but it assumes that without out benevolent government printing money we'd be fucked.

not complete bullshit, just over simplified by retards.

I'm 20 and I do graphic design work and don't do anything else.
Hey /biz/,
1) Offer advice to an 18 year old on how to not fuck up financially in the long run. Now I said not fuck up not how to become a gazillionare... ETH etc..
2) I have $13,000 in capital and $2,000 of CDS with 8 more years until maturity. How would you diversify the $13,000 to get the most growth over idk 40 years.
Nothing will give you risk free returns. NOTHING.
Here's the best way you can not fuck up. Start reading and learning about markets/finance. Anyone who thinks that they can dump their money into index funds and a be a complacent jackass for the next 10 years is a dumbass. Investing is going to be hard in the future. The last 30 years were special. If you can't see through the bullshit and think for yourself, you will get reamed.
15k is nothing to work with in the short term. Investing in an education will be far more valuable.

>interview guy gives bone crushing handshake
How do you respond back when he shakes your hand again when you go to leave? Is going all Fisto on their ass and shattering their bones with a goodbye handshake the way to show a sign of strength?
>>1238764
Lick your palm until it's sopping wet.
Then give your biggest smile and shake away.
Ask him if he thundergrips when he faps.
Can guarantee he does, only way he developed that strength.
>>1238764
i hate these fuckers i usually just adjust to the same level of strength as the other party.
you can't go all in because you will crush some limpos hand but if they tighten up you do to.
I am running a multi million dollar business. I have been doing this for over a year, and a half since my older brother quit. My father, and mother are both owners of the business, but are drug addicts, and my father has a number of health problems making him incapable of handling anything as strenuous as running a cash register standing up for more than 30 minutes. My mother is a little better, but her frequent paranoia, and panic attacks make staffing problematic for her. She has despite not being involved in the daily operation of the business developed a habit of showing...

Can you really not get them to write a will in your favor based on how well you've been running things? Explain that the government will take it otherwise.
Can you get them deemed insane or a danger to themselves or tell on them for doing drugs and have you named as legal guardian since your bros a thief?
Could you kill them and then sell them in little pieces through the gas pumps back to their customers? Maybe a landscaper fills up at your station and then cuts your dad's lawn powered by your dad? You think of that fucker?

An associate of mine wants to do some "legally gray area" business on eBay that's EXTREMELY lucratively but is worried about getting in trouble. Basically, he wants to know how to use eBay and PayPal in such a way that'll minimize his liabilities as much as possible. So far, he has learned a little bit about VPNs from a friend of his but hasn't actually used one while conducting business.

What's your point mate?

>he wants to know how to use eBay and PayPal in such a way that'll minimize his liabilities as much as possible

VPNs won't help unless they're offshore.
It's a lot harder to open a useful paypal nowadays with fake info.
I was able to many, many years ago using a "bank account" (aka account info) from some stock broker website. That method has long closed.
Even if you're not doing illegal shit having an "anonymous" paypal is useful for buying and selling shit to people you don't fully trust.
Buttcoin is gaining wider acceptance now so maybe you could...

What is /biz/ opinion on 3D printers?
Meme or green?
>>1238608
I'm not really a /biz/ guy, was just lurking here. But I'm an engineer so I might be able to help.
Your question is really vague so all I can say is this: 3D printers are mostly used for prototyping in the industry. If you want to sell some low quality personizable figurines or something like that, you could technically use them, but for most high quality mass production applications other methods are superior in most ways.
>>1238608
in terms of technical development, it's still womb-tier
wait until better developments on the tech is made to the point where it's very mainstream or bordering becoming mainstream.
>>1238608
Now they fulfil a niche role, but as the technology gets better it's role will also increase.
3D printers will become very important in the future. Being able to use raw materials to quickly produce stuff. Also the very idea of being able to use one production chain for multiple products sounds profitable to me.
