How good of an investment would a vehicle be for a college student?
I'm finishing my first year, and I've concluded that I need a car for commenting more efficiently opposed to taking the bus.
So, for those who have experience, how good of an investment would this be?
I need something that is reliable. I'm not getting a new car until I graduate, but as of now I'm thinking maybe $10k for something that wouldnt go to shit so quickly.

>How good of an investment would a vehicle be for a college student?
A deprecating asset with more costs added on(fuel, maintenance, repairs, tickets) is not an investment, it's a liability.
>but as of now I'm thinking maybe $10k for something that wouldnt go to shit so quickly.
There is virtually no difference between a $3k car and $10k car in terms of practical usage.
>>1234211
This is not an investment, this is a money sink.

There is virtually no difference between a $3k car and $10k car in terms of practical usage.
No. There is significant difference in the amount of maintenance one would have to do between those two ranges. If you buy a car with $10k, you're not going to worry about a head gasket, struts, compressor, etc Buy a $3k car and you can have fun replacing everything from the windshield wipers to the timing belt
Is Amazon going down the path of Twitter?
How long before Bezos goes broke trying to appease the r8c b8rs?

Maybe communities should clean up their neighborhoods and stop enabling the shit heads?
In my city, the northern area keeps bitching that there are no businesses except for chemical manufacturing and oil refineries. Well guess what you dumb black retards? Nobody is going to open up a fucking movie theater if they think the patrons are going to get robbed.
The sad thing is the politicians from the area know it too, but a lot of the people there act the victim(which they are in a way) instead of cleaning up the community.
Ergo, I don't blame Amazon, or...

I think this is more ass-covering to avoid discrimination suits, not sincere SJW-minded activism like Twitter. Bezos is pretty libertarian, donated to Reason magazine for instance.
I used to live in an area where UPS and Fedex required a signature on all deliveries.
Would you also believe that the majority of the homes were section 8?
>"I have respect for Jeff Bezos, but he bought The Washington Post to have political influence, and I gotta tell you, we have a different country than we used to have," Trump said during a speech in Texas on Friday (see clip below). "He wants political influence so that Amazon will benefit from it. That's not right. And believe me, if I become president, oh, do they have problems. They're going to have such problems."
What will Bezos do when Trump stumps him?

How did we get here friends?

neither party producing someone presidential

This. Government has become so shit that a criminal, a skeleton communist, and a con-artist have all claimed top spots for presidency. I didn't think our gov't could get any more corrupt than it already is, but I guess we'll find out how soon regardless of who is president...
What are some secret companies that are so good to invest in that you have to post and delete it right away so no one but me can see? I can also provide you with a PGP key so that you may send me secret investing information secretly. Thanks

Thoughts on Lisk? Goes live in two weeks
My thoughts? I think I could probably escape its abstraction and add its nodes to a botnet, steal the wallets, crash the network, etc, etc, etc -- if I tried. The same is probably true of Ethereum as well.

Depends on the PM. Unlike a doctor or a pilot, anyone can call himself a HF manager without a licence or a badge. All you need is a prime broker, an auditor and a legally reviewed offering memorandum.
Lots of former bank traders have set up their own HF's and are delivering consistent, above market returns. They are having a nice time, don't need to wear ties and attend silly meetings anymore. You'll never hear of those, because...

If we are going to follow the EMH they like to teach at school then no. And if you look at the average hedge funds you can see that they are shit and never do better than the market - but there are clearly some funds which have actually been able to achieve above market returns - whether by luck or skill is hard to say, though I'd probably assume many of the short term succesful ones are just lucky.

18 y/o choosing a first bank here, Is Ally trustworthy? all logic makes me think yes and there's alot of great reviews I've read of it, but I'm seeing tons of complaints from people it seems to have "stolen" from. who's full of shit an who isn't? does anyone here use Ally?
wat do?
All checking accounts in the US are insured by the FDIC up to $250k.
I'm sure your $672.50 will be safe with fucking Ally Bank (which I've heard of)
Alright my question.
What sources do you guys use for reports, economic calendar, stock updates & anything market related. (interested in EURONEXTT stock, america is fucked)
Is anyone here a data or business analyst? Do you like the job and would you recommend it?
Joining the Army (or any branch) after obtaining a bachelors degree from uni? Have any of you done this, what's your take? I'm considering doing this, I'd appreciate any input.
SCM grad if that makes a difference

Joining the army after getting a degree is securing your life in my country, they pay you for scratching your balls.
>>1233872
Haven't done it, that's the plan though. Why do you want to join the army?

Navy family here. It's true. 99% of military is pointless. The "heroes" are far and in between.
Give me one reason I shouldn't put all my savings into AMD. It literally can fail. There are three things that can happen.
1. It recovers, and the stock goes to nvidia levels, which is a 1000% increase.
2. It goes bankrupt and anti-monopoly laws forces some other company to buy it, which would double the price, and triple the value.
3. ^^Point two, but Without the bankruptcy.
4. Nothing happens, it just sits here, barely keeping it debt under control.
Literally not a bad bet actually, there's much worse ways to invest. I can see this being similar to just putting all your savings into s&p, just at a higher risk level.
Same logic I had. Might get a couple hundred more shares / some LEAPs. I'm looking for a strong 2017 with Zen

You are both retarded. AMD is bankrupt because most of their RND has been sold. They no longer own alot of the patents that they developed for their processors. They're shrinking while trying to find a leg to stand on, and they have nothing innovative that they're working on. They're buried in debt and the stock has no dividend. You are fools if you buy them. You will lose your money...

Situation:
> Can't find a job in my field, stuck doing something I don't like
> Make $35,000 a year
> Have a degree
> $35,000 in debt
> $6,000 in the bank
> $1,000 in living expenses per month
What would YOU do.
>>1233812
Pay off your debt, continue saving, buy a multihome/duplex/condo, live in one, rent out the other(s).
Considering:
> Working for 2 years, paying off debt
> Try to continue research at Uni despite not being a student
> Make a great grad school resumes somehow?
> Apply to PhD programs
> Hopefully get tuition free
> Graduate with PhD and 20k debt
> Get a job as a consultant for 100k

I know python, MATLAB, excel and C++. I'm studying applied physics so obviously I know quite a lot of math and physics. I've taken a few econ/finance classes on the side. I'm looking to be a consultant next to being a student to hopefully earn some extra income.
What type of businesses should I approach to offer consulting services considering my skillset? Basically what are some good places to look for people/businesses who could benefit from what I know?
Btw just so there's no confusion I would consider helping a local small business improve...

Also just to specify a bit more on the "I know a lot of math and physics" bit: I'm quite experienced at creating mathematical / statistical models, creating high-performance programs capable of handling heavy numerics/numerical physics. Computational nonlinear dynamics, linear networks, you name it.

Seems fair. I'll get right on creating our business cards; I'm assuming you want your title to be "idea guy", yes?

What are some easy to get jobs to get in Dubai? Is it true that minimum wage workers make 80k a year over there?

I stayed in the Jumeirah, next to the Burj in your picture.
One of the days I was there, there was a line of Indian guys applying for work stretching all the way from the entrance down to the main road, and along side it (probably a few hundred).
They were all wearing slacks and dress shirts, despite the fact it was about 113 degrees.
Sounds competitive, to say the least.
are you catching a falling knife?
The only thing they have had going for them in the past year is their promises of coming out with a drone. But after HTC's flop, we know that it's the Chinese alone that rule that market.

boomer meme stock, tech industry is in "bubble 2.0", Icahn dickriders.
How is this that hard to figure out (in hindsight)?
It's not like AAPL is now a penny stock; it took a 10% hit because market opinion toward tech is turning, a famous billionaire investor badmouthed it, & their product line is stale; it's a $100 bill with a corner torn off, not a $20 bill with a slave on it sitting at the bottom of a sewage treatment facility.
