So some asshole has taken the pictures of my rental property off another legit ad that i was using and is pretending to be me. He is advertising on craigslist as my property trying to scam ppl.
What do?
I was alerted by a person askng if this was my ad and it was legit. I posed as a potential customer and i have his fake email address the routing number and bank account number he wants me to wire the deposit and his supposive name and his ip address which is out of the usa so he might be using proxy. Any ideas how i can fuck him.
Fucker pisses me off cause...

Use a clever ruse to find out his address, then alert his local authorities.
Or mail him some poison.
whatev.

So i told him i could overnight him a cashiers check just send me your address.
He didnt fall for it saying he has had trouble recieving checks by mail.
>>1176393
Go for it.
Scammers are fuckin idiots.
You could probably have him killed with a little effort.
I need to file taxes for the first time. I have no idea what I'm doing or where to start.
What do?
>>1176345
Go to the IRS website.
Turbotax.
You might want to hurry the fuck up nigga.

How long should it take me? I have until April 15th, right?
I love how you all assume opinion and speculation as fact, I doubt any of you are real here, all talk. You are all fucking failures for being here on 4chan in the first place. Remember that
>>1176336
jesus fucking christ what is up with this picture this dude looks so small compared to that civic
is he like 5' what the fuck its only a two door
what the fuck
>>1176336
yeah but even most failures make good money at least in the US. you can say i barely went to school or trained anywhere but i have a 90k salary working 20-25 hours a week. also look at software engineers, a lot of them are mentally handicapped but have tens of thousands to gamble every couple of months.
trading is more of a game to most people, especially here. i don't know what you "love" about it though, because it sounds like you're mad.
I request rule 34 on a Honda Civic.
So /biz/
My family runs a online sex shop.
We started back in November.
We are doing good, but I really feel like this shop has way more potential than it currently has.
The thing with my family is that they refuse to hire anyone knowledgeable to run the site and maintain it, they assume because I'm doing a degree in IT that I can solve every issue.
Besides this, I had to make graphics for our site (most of the site was done by a professional, we had a falling out and if we want new banners I gotta fucking do them and I'm sure as fuck not a artist)
We...

Actually it has exactly the amount of potential that it has
Also

As for your question, put a sale up on your ads. People are more likely to buy something if they think they're getting a good deal. Set up your site with PayPal if you haven't already, people like to feel safe buying things online, especially its from an unknown site.
Anyone out there have experience in buying land? Good idea for investing your money or a waste of time? I'm talking buying up any cheap land and just sitting on it. Also what about buying commercial strip malls etc. Just very curious.
>>1176242
How long do you plan on just sitting on your land? Sooner or later you're bound to get hungry
My father was a land investor for 35 years.
Start with homes. It's a fucking hell of a lot simpler. Once you get good with homes, you graduate to land.
Some tips:
> buy in a dip, not a peak
> buy in a growing area
> look at the home prices in the neighborhood, and surrounding area. You never wanna be the cheapest or richest house in the neighborhood
> There's always hidden expenses, so factor that in when you buy
good luck amigo
thanks anon, are you talking buy and seek quickly for profit or sit on them until the value rises? Seems like houses wouldn't be good long term considering depreciation. Or are you talking about renting them out?
Why does /biz/ users overlap so much with /pol/ and /r9k/?
I just don't get it. There are some people who are actually into business and finance here, and takes it seriously. It's evident by the occasional good reply or thread we have.
But, there is so much other shit that could have been straight up copypasted from /r9k/ or /pol/
I don't get it. What's the appeal for you guys to come over here and talk about the exact same?
Because personal finance and all the problems and issues of it heavily overlap with personal problems that /r9k/ has.
Most of the users of this site are teenagers to mid twenties. Getting money and establishing themselves is their main goal. Most of the older guys have given up on offering thoughtful advice because they're tired of some 17 year old memelord popping off at them because it's not what they want to hear.
Money and politics are also heavily intertwined.
It makes now sense how this board is expected to talk about business news and issues,...

what the fuck does that even mean
/pol/ and /r9k/ are containment boards in the sense that the topics for threads are contained in there so that other forums can have space for their own topics
it doesn't mean the common opinions there aren't shared across the entire website
are you upset you can't downvote unapproved opinions?
Because this is an anime imageboard for people age 16-25 primarily.
Jesus fucking Christ. Are you SERIOUSLY asking why an anonymous imageboard's business/cryptocurrency containment board is NOT 100% constructive?
What the fuck just happened to Bombardier stock? Down 10% in the last 15 minutes but no news has been released.
FUCK

It got dropped from a huge contract by TfL last month. Do you even watch the news m8? If you're still holding it now you deserve to get burnt.
>>1176136
It just picked up a $580 million contract and Air Canada is finalizing another huge contract.
You're right, but it isn't what caused today's drop.
>>1176207
This isn't what caused today's drop huh?
So you just know what investors are thinking right now? Listen up you little millenial, I've been investing for 300 compounding quarters of my life, you don't know shit.

What are you guys trading?
Come speculate on the future of oil and the Canadian market in general
My bet is on the currency itself. Canada is a petro currency and the price of oil is artificially depressed. I'd bet on an appreciating $CDN vs the $USD.
Not risky enough? Amplify it with US small cap funds.
>tfw was working the oil fields making low 6 figures right out of highschool
>tfw laid off and unemployable
oil pls
hahahahahahaha
Charge 50 cents a packet. Why won't this work biz?
>>1176002
what exactly are you proposing?
Putting machines that vend packets of healthy mixes in front of bottle water fountains. Instead of buying pic related they can make their own for 1/4 the cost and no waste of a bottle.
>>1176049
hey thats actually a good idea.
i was selling cracked account (netflix, spotify, etc), 99% of my customers sent money as family or friends, but some assholes send them as a payment, so i got limited, i have sent an email telling i was a freelancer reviewer but they still want the url from where i was selling the products, what should i do?

i didn't get it
Hey /biz/ so I'm one of those people who are paranoid as fuck of losing my data so I have 3 physical backups of all my critical data. If you are like I am, losing my stuff would mean losing 2-3 years of my life.
Being the paranoid fuck that I am, I am also suspicious of all of those cloud backup services looking at my data and selling my info to google. However, I have reached the point in my life where I have too much data (5TB, external hard drives are killing me) and just need to take the risk. I'll probably just veracrypt my stuff before I upload it or something....

If you are like me you probably have a lot of music, tv shows, and movies. If you don't give those as high a priority for backup, then it becomes much easier to create a viable backup plan.
>>1175981
Another way to think of it is that if it can be torrented easily or whether it is easily available to stream and that streaming service price is similar to the amount you would pay for a viable cloud backup service in the terabyte range.
>>1175934
I have maybe 30 GB of images, 100 GB of music, and an unknown volume of videos. Currently, I only need a single 1TB external to fit everything, and I own an identical second 1TB external as my backup.
As my video library expands, I'll face the same dilemma, OP. I don't like the idea of "cloud" storage and having to pay a subscription fee, so I'll probably continue to buy additional externals, which I hope will become more viable as file sizes shrink due to more efficient video formats...

"Bu-bye."
That's the best way I know how to end a call, but it feels way too feminine. For context, I often am not speaking to the same people, so I don't have some rapport to establish more casual goings.
How do you close your calls, /biz/?
I'm in sales/tech support for an engineering firm, and I spend about half my day on the phone.
It really depends who I'm talking to. If it's the good ol' boy down the road, who I've known for a bit, it's "and hey boss, you stay outta trouble now, hear?"
If it's the cute little Mexican chick that calks in orders for her company, its a little Adios or something like that.
In general, I dont like buh-bye for the same reason. I usually stick with have a great day, or have a good one.
>>1175872
>It's a little adios
>>1175872
>I usually stick with have a great day, or have a good one.
Yeah, I do that too but goes as like this
Me: Thanks, and have a good day
Them: Sure thing, you too
Me: Bu-bye
Them: bu-bye
Leaving off the last exchange, there's always some pause...like the initial "Have a good day" wasn't enough to hang up the phone. So, acknowledging the pause, the other option is "bye" but it doesn't carry the same mood as the conversation or...

If you are someone getting a real job for the first time is it better to do part time for a while first to get comfortable with it and then get a full time later or to go straight to doing full time? Money and benefits and stuff like that being no object ?
Part time if you go to school or are super nervous
Full time if you ain't a pussy. Usually you can start full time and if it doesn't work tell your boss about it.
>>1175857
>are super nervous
Yeah I guess that's an issue , anxiety is a bitch. I just have had trouble finding part time and was weighing that maybe I'll have to consider full. I just dunno. Part time for me would seem like it would make more sense but like I said lack of opportunities.
>>1175859
what kind of job are you thinking? what is your location? here in USA it is super easy to get a part time job (if you like working 3-5 hours 4-5 times a week)
Hey biz,
I have no money but a decent credit score, I can use paypal credit to buy something with 6 months no payments + no interest.
I was considering buying gold bullion on ebay, then selling it when gold prices went up. I feel like 6 months is enough time to be able to get the money back and then some.
My only experience with shit like this is buying musical equipment low and selling it high
Flaws in my logic? Thoughts, options?
The problem is that there's no guarantee that gold will be worth more in the future. It's pure speculation.
>>1175860
I see, so it could tank completely despite being considered one of the safest investments...
>>1175846
>buy gold
>pay 8% of its value to get it sent to you
>sell it later
>4-5% tacked off the price to buy it from you
Gold bullion is one of the most retarded flips one could try to make.
You would be better off buying a ETF of diversified metals to hold in a portfolio or a gold mining company/index if you want to speculate.
What are the candidates reforms that we should be worried about?
>trump says he's going to execute hedge funds because fuck rich people
>trump will probably reduce internal tax rates and increase international exchange rates
>Hillary will increase taxation in general
>Get ready to go all in on hard assets and trade using them instead of USD
Hes not going to tax international trade that much. That has bad synergy with some of his other propositions.
>>1175812
With Hillary we won't have to worry about the future. She will start WWIII to prove she is a man. In all seriousness I have seen no Hillary policies. It will be a continuation of the same slow bleeding we have had under Obama. Oh, and her cronies will be getting wealthy.
With Bernie we have to worry about productive people dropping out of the economy rather than pay crazy income tax rates.

With Trump, i expect lower unemployment and higher inflation assuming the trade deficit is reduced via tariff policies and removing illegal immigrants from the workforce. The budget deficit would go down with more people employed and less illegal immigrants. Would recommend assets like housing.
Hillary will be much like obama. Ok short term prospects and deteriorating long term conditions of us fundementals. Look to Europe and no growth economies on how to invest.
Sanders will be like hillary, although...
