PBS's 1987 documenatry "Trader":
vimeo-com/60057485
In 1987 PBS released a documentary called 'Trader' featuring legendary hedge fund manager Paul Tudor Jones and his firm Tudor Investments.
But the film was never given a chance to catch on. PTJ hated it, and bought up almost all the copies of the film as soon as he could. Every now and again a copy surfaces online (like yesterday — it's already down) but the question generally remains — why did PTJ hate the movie...

>Some speculate that PTJ felt that his trading secrets were revealed in the documentary.
that hypothesis is lolworthy...
>Others suggest that he was embarrassed of how he looked while he was trading.
this seems much more likely
tis interesting to watch though, thanks for posting :)
>>1096204
Thanks for the link.
However, on his good predictions... he predicted the DOW to be under 500 in 1991. It was at 3000. He predicted the DOW to be at 3000 in 1986/1987 and it was at 2600

How much money can I make buying shit off of auctions and selling them for a higher price on EBay?
>>1095296
After taxes it will be a nice hobby but you will make 0 dollars sorry
>>1095296
None. I bought lots to quickly bulk up my inventory when I started my business. Four years later I still have half of it. eBay bidders are very poor right now.
I've bought a few mislabeled things and flipped them on eBay, but after fees and time invested, it's not worthwhile.
Best was a gun stock labeled as just an unknown and used camo stock for $30 buy it now.
Posted the pics on a forum to verify it was a McMillian, then bought it, found what it fit, and put it back up. Sold for around $120.
I caught it just as it was listed.
Easy $90, but factor in 2 hours of research, listing, shipping, plus countless hours to come across it, and the risk of something falling through ...
It's take...

Can we get a resume help thread?
Just got told by my boss I'm getting laid off for a full-time specialist :\
Here we go:
Also, I smoke weed occasionally to help me sleep, should I wait before I apply to jobs or just dive in and hope to pass a drug test if they give me one?
bamp
Drop the interests part, put the skills part above work experience (maybe consider dropping the "computer assembly" point, or at least moving it to the bottom of that section considering it isn't relevant), also use a resume template/layout to make it more presentable
Regarding the weed thing, they won't have you take a test until you have some sort of conditional offer

Those were all things a professor told me to put in >.>

>not having a wood-based economy
-renewable, albeit slow production (can't just "print" money)
-limited by growing space on planet Earth (limited supply)
-great incentive to reclaim land on Earth and terraform other planets to increase maximum supply (soft limit)
-wood can decay, which makes controlling the wood supply more difficult (no point in cutting down all trees and hoarding the world's supply)
-wood has innumerable actual uses which anyone of any socioeconomic class anywhere in the world can employ...

I'm not sure you have a point

Major in law and do some economics instead. What use is having soccer shoes when you don't know the rules of the game.

How about "give them a wage that allows them to save some money, give them health insurance so they don't get robbed when they have a fucking hernia, and don't charge their kids $100k if they want to get an education".
So everyone keeps saying that a career in finance requires social skills, but just how strict is this? I'm fairly introvert (aspbergers), but I'm good with people. During my bachelors I was active in a number of student associations, got elected to a bunch of things and was even president of two committees . I have zero problem talking in front of others, for instance, I´ve led a few hobby-courses. I've succesfully negotiated with people, led people, have zero problem taking over a conversation and act pretty extrovert in general.
Oh, and math isn't a...

I do not know if this is the right board to be asking this but this the only business board on 4chan.
I was recently let go from a decent job in the state of Oklahoma because of an attendance issue.
Story: I've been at this company for more than a year, get a long with everyone except for a coworker that is buddies with the production manager.
In the last year I've only missed 3 days of work, 2 of them which were due to being snowed in.
I scheduled 1 of my vacation days to cover a day I'd be out for a doctors appointment. I typo'd and added...

If your record was previously clean, IE no previous disciplinary actions, then visit a solicitor. It sounds like unfair dismissal to me.
However if your on a final written warning, you've probably not got a leg to stand on because a lot of companies consider unauthorised absense a disciplinary level action.

At will employment. They can fire you for any non-discriminatory reason, or for no reason at all.
Stop bitching, don't waste a lawyer's time or your money, file for unemployment, and grow the fuck up.

I'm a lawyer from Europe and that shit wouldn't fly here. I'd say you are at least due some sort of compensation for the sudden termination. I don't know what US federal and Oklahoma state statutes say though. I can't imagine them being this barbaric though and you best seek out an employment lawyer.
I run a fairly popular twitter account (100K+ followers) and I'm looking for the best way to make money through advertising revenue. There are many accounts out there who do URL promotion and get paid by other sites or those who those link to their own sites or articles or use Google AdSense. I have very little knowledge about any of this but I'm willing to learn.
how did you get that level of followers
are you using fake pics?

it seems like no one here knows anything about digital marketing. it's a space I'm curious about; just decided to actually go at tumblr via an alt-lit niche
Digital advertising is where it's at apparently. I'm not sure how hard it is to gain exposure through tumblr but if there is a space or forum online that specializes in digital as revenue as it pertains to social media I'm not aware of it. Most Google search results lead to stuff about small businesses and websites.

its taking me about half an hour to trade out of any position wtf is going on
what's /biz/ think about buying the cheapest, old, decrepit, low rise Apartments in great locations of cities....
These lower priced older apartments aren't as flashy as the new developments sprouting up everywhere, but they still hold land value, and in some areas the new developers are running out of land.
Betting on the building/land being bought out by a developer (5-15 years) once 80% of the strata want to sell out. (this is a Canadian rule anyway's)
I hear developers offer 150%-200% of assessed value to owners when buying out a strata.

As you've said, it's a risk. But moreover, consider the pain of dealing with tenets. The worse the neighborhood, the worse the tenets. Get ready to deal with monthly trips to small claims court over eviction disputes and always expect to have to repair shit once they leave.
The fact is that many neighborhoods will be shitty for the rest of your life, and coupled with the above cost, I wouldn't risk it. If you can get in on the ground floor of a new gentrification scheme, then that's...

How do you survive being a wageslave when obviously more talented then your colleagues but not getting any credit for it at all? I started as a lawyer at a big firm almost a year ago. After a year of working my ass off, still nobody gives a shit who I am and what I do just because I don't have a share in the power. I was planning to start my own firm anyway but this is ridiculous. I love the work but I hate my colleagues and superiors. It's like high school.
TL;DR I graduated cum laude to discover I obviously don't belong at a law firm.

Where did you specialize, OP? Start a business and use your knowledge of the law to your advantage. Warren Buffett made it because he knew how to pull tricks legally and use law to his advantage.
That's why I didn't become a lawyer senpai
Not only is the market vicious, but your colleagues tend to be assholes

Tax and civil law. It has always been my dream to start for myself but I just don't understand why I just can't relate with my colleagues. I feel like an autist at work.
I know I'm no autist as I financed my law study with my own company and have many and very good friends. I'm like why tf do I fail at my career.
Can someone give me a step-by-step on how to buy Bitcoin and then use it to get Ethereum?
1) stick your cock up your ass
2) piss as much as you can while continuously drinking fluids
3) ???
4) you are now mining ethereums
1. Coinbase, link a credit card for instant buy
2. Kraken or Polyniex, transfer the bitcoins to one of those exchange wallets and then put an order in to sell your bitcoin for (assuming) $USD. Then make an order to buy ETH/USD.
If thats not clear enough for you then I don't know what else I can do for ya, friend. Good luck though.
Also get a private wallet for your ether eventually.
