Hey, new to /biz/ and was wondering should i use e-trade to invest in stocks or should i go straight to a firm for trading.
robinhood.com
really though you're most likely better off just putting your money into a mutual fund
>>1373687
could you explain why?
i have around 2k im wanting to invest and just want to know more
>>1373781
Robinhood has no fees. Etrade costs $10 per trade so it takes $20 from your profits every time. Unless you put in 10k and get free trades for a while.
No one on this board will tell you to go to a real broker
When is the bubble going to burst? Is real estate overbought right now? Is there even a bubble? All I want is to buy a house, fix it up a little, and rent it out. When is the time to get in?
Either 2017 or 2018.
It won't be as bad as 08 though.
Yea fucking realtors, I want a 80k house that is selling for 150k because of the market.

Try living in Australia, where a small house out in the country with almost no land costs $300,000.
What 2 do if your parents are poorfags with poor financial decision-making?

I'm not here too often but even I have seen this before so I'll assume it's a regular thing.
Been there. Parents were quite wealthy until I was about 6 years old and they got divorced which cost my dad his job for certain reasons and my mom is overly religious claiming god would provide so she refused to get a job.
Both of them filed bankruptcy by the time I was 7 and we lived in section 8 housing until I finally moved out at 18.
There's really nothing you can do, they have to make that decision on their own. I've tried multiple times to help my parents with financial sense, even signing my mom up as a trusted user on one of my credit cards so...

Leave them. Burn the bridge down and don't come back to them. Start your own life. ask yourself, in 5 years from now, are you going to continue bitching about them, or are you going to have already accepted this as part of you and started you're own life doing what you desire to do.
I got a 3.87 gpa from Berkeley in a liberal arts department. What are my chances of going to a decent law school?

What's your LSAT?
>>1373569
Given an equally good LSAT score, 100%.
Doing well in law school and getting recruited by biglaw is a completely different matter.
None. Admissions will think you are a crazy SJW.
Where do great ideas come from?
20 yo business administration majors
just kidding
Salespeople
Get it out of your head that great ideas come from anywhere. Even science and academia is all about standing on the shoulders of giants. There might be a novel approach or a new proof, but Einstien didn't just shit relativity out of thin air.
In business even more so. Your not going to get anywhere in life trying to come up with great ideas. Sure, tell everyone your mediocre idea is brilliant, but them put the real effort into excecution. Great ideas are the oldest meme there is.

RUN THE COMPANY THROUGH THE NASDAQ DOZEN.
Does anyone know where the argument for a $15 an hour minimum living wage in the US even comes from? It's everywhere, of course, but I can't actually find any studies or even casual calculations that come close to supporting that number.
The closest I've found to anything reputable is http://livingwage.mit.edu/, which lists California and New York at right around $13/hr for a single adult.
>>1373454
>Im poor, and cant afford things I want
>I want more money for what I do.
>>1373584
yeah, like food
>>1373584
The thing is, that's a completely reasonable position if your current wages are literally less than what you would need to cover basic living expenses, but I can't find any evidence that you need $15/hr to do that, which is what the Tumblrinas are claiming.
what legal steps can you take to get back money from a cleaned out joint account?
Completely depends on your location, circumstances and local law. Contact a professional.

I'm planning to make a website which would combine the features of imageboards and social networks. It'd be "4chan for normalfags" which would include the following:
- authorization through social networks
- optional anonymity (users can be either anonymous or not)
- user boards with custom settings
- a variety of supported media formats (AVI, MP3, etc.)
- voice messages
- PMs between users
- Instant notifications on replies to your posts
- A feture-rich promoted mobile client for multiple platforms
- A friendly design, similar...

You are authorized by your IP anyway.
I have two job offers.
One is for an IT recruiting firm. Coming in as a recruiter with the possibility to move into account management quickly if I desire. The company offers a strong base salary, benefits and a great commission structure with PTO. I also see a lot of growth opportunities within the company wether I choose to stay in recruiting or go into sales. The company is large and rated at the second largest IT recruiting company in the US. The commute isn't too bad either. The downside is I am a bit older and would becoming into a position that a lot of people...

how?
I live in the UK and I'm about to invest in long term Vanguard funds, with a focus on dividends.
VYM - Vanguard High Dividend Yield
VIG - Vanguard Div Appreciation
VHYL - Vanguard FTSE all-world high dividend yield
I'm planning on putting £1500 initially, and £1000 per month (along with any reinvested dividends)
Would you say this is a good move, especially with the pound sterling being currently weak against the dollar?
>>1372979
Why the emphasis on dividends?
>>1372979
Maybe do that after the financial collapse brough to us by a german bank that will not be named? You know that there could be a next 2008 any minute now, right?
Let's say I can get into an education is CS, at a good college. Is it too late when I'm in my thirties? Will I forever be a failure?
No OP! Never too late! I'm in the same boat, different major (business administration). If you can understand the algorithms, code semantics, and the math (look up discrete math), and, most important, study your ass off, it's very possible. I'm pulling it off, and use most of my time in it (i.e., no time to bullshit/socialize). Go for it. Don't give up. Work really hard. Good luck OP.

How do you know you'll land a job afterwards? How do you know the pay will be worth it?

Sup /biz/.
I found a high interest 2 year CD with an 18% interest rate based on the GBP.
The GBP's inflation rate is at only .3% so this is all raw cash.
Does /biz/ want it?
You could do it based on the dollar too for 15%
