How many of you have made money with fantasy sports?
Any active players?
What is a good way to get started and make it profitable?
Where do you get your information?
Spread Sheets? Regression Analysis?
Total waste.
I'm really looking forward to the house of cards coming crashing down.
I'm surprised the word hasn't gotten out yet.
Almost nobody is winning money. Basically the top 1% is the only group to see any REAL money. And the top 10% earns a little bit of money, nothing to brag about.
Nearly everyone that plays is losing money every single week. I really don't fucking now how DFS is making so much money.

This is a sucker's game and not a form of investing, thanks for being the type of idiot who subsidizes all the nice things in my life though.

Nice things?
Guys serious queston. A few months ago I bought around 10k of BOIL a 3x levered natural gas ETF. I held it for a month where it went up by 1.4%. however I lost 1,000 dollars due to fees associated with holding the stock that I don't fully understand. Fastforward, I buy 13k worth of SH that i want to hold for a year. I read the paper on it and it said the only cost of holding it is 1% a year which is an acceptable amount. My fear is that somehow I am in the red on SH even though the market has gone down. Are there hidden fees associated with 1x inverse SH that i am not aware of?
>>1073954
TL;DR
Is SH a stock that you are only supposed to hold for a very short period of time or can i hold this for a year without getting murdered in leveraged fees? i thought SH wasn't heavily leveraged
>>1073954
Did you read the prospectus? In either case?
>is there a cliffs notes pdf
no
>>1073971
I am not very intelligent so it is hard to read the prospectus because they use advanced language.
I have read this-->

I understand the expensive ration to be a .009 a year so at 13,000 USD i would be paying around 130 a year in fees?
When will these housing prices start dropping /biz/?
I am tired of hearing my parents speculating the price of their crack shack home, and how they plan to sell it for over 2 million dollars. I keep telling them no one will take the house at such a high price but they keep having delusions of grandeaur and dream of buying a luxury house and a new car.
How can people be so stupid?
>>1074088
Not anytime soon, prices will continue to rise until the Chinese government steps in.
This Friday will be a trigger. Guaranteed the bubble pops this year - not a good news for the economy though. If your parents were any smart, they would have sold their houses already.

Stupid fucking idiots think they know shit cause they are old.
Alright /biz/, if you had to pick between ONE share of alphabet(google) and ONE share of amazon for the long term, which would you pick?
I'd buy ten shares of netflix or apple.
>>1077025
really? Netflix seems to have a really high P/E ratio. And Apple doesnt really have the sort of diversification that Alphabet does.
>>1077027
P/E means nothing.
Really. What is your plan Anon? And how you wan"t make it real?

Anon, try harder.

Moot, other idea.
I am slowly following my plan, 33 years old, got a trade in the highest paid industry at the time when i was younger. I have nearly paid off my house, I earn $135,000 per year for working 7 days on 7 days off, so I am studying business and once i own the house i will direct all of my excess money into investment, either own a business or stock portfolio, hopefully retire early.
Look /biz/. I don't have the same cliched aspirations as normies do in the event they come across a large sum of money
>hurr durr spend it all on fast cars, women and mansions!

No.
JUST NO.
I just want to make EXACTLY $3,000,000 (to the cent) fast enough so that I become a financially independent NEET and live in isolation for the next 50 years until I finally die...

Literally me. All I need is a small box with a broadband internet connection and I'll be entertained forever. I just need enough money for food and water. I have no aspirations of women, children, or fast cars. Virtual reality is coming soon brother. We can plug ourselves into the Matrix.
sup /biz/fags, anyone got an million dollar app idea? every other person i see on a daily basis has their eyes glued to their phone, i think anything mobile app related is a cash cow. i wanna see how the anons of 4chan can bless me with their infinite knowledge

Let's all share our ideas with OP, guise.
I just received a call and I have a phone interview on friday (i am on the other side of the country for school). Its for an accounting internship, working with the controller.
I've already looked up the company on glassdoor, what other resources can I use to prepare?
Should I just write out my answers to their most asked questions? I'll be trying to form my answers with the STAR approach.
Ay nigga I gotchu. Here are some primo questions that you should ask when they ask "have any questions"
Can you tell me a typical day on the job?
What do you like most about the job?
Can you tell me about the projects I'll be working on?
How would you define success in the position.
And then make sure you thank them in a follow up email for the interview.
Also don't wash your asshole for good luck. Gives you that sweaty crack sense of confidence.
>>1076479
Another few good questions are
"What are the best and worst parts about working for this company?"
"If you could change a few things at this company, what would they be?"
"Do you enjoy your job/working for this company?"(any answer/hesitation other than an immediate "Yes" is a sign that it's not such a good place to work)
Maybe leave out the more pressuring questions like "What do you hate the most here?", seems a bit bad to be so negative...

>he fell for the stem meme

As expected

They all look like fucking twats.
>>1076184
The engineer clearly won.
Anyone here work in the HR field? I'm looking at switching careers and thought that might be the field for me. Do you enjoy it? How'd you get your first job in it?
Thanks in advance /biz/
This is relevant to my interests as well
I am not in HR currently, but worked in HR for a brief period in a major retailer. It was pretty easy, but the work was often tedious. You're basically worrying about all the shit no one wants to give the time of day to. I think just about all of us have ignored HR over the course of our careers (unless it's about compensation, lol).
The women I worked with were hot and cold. Usually cold. That's how I'd describe their attitude of interacting with prospects, employees, reps, etc. Like you were inconveniencing them by making them do their job. Sometimes...

good advice for when I actually get a job, but I'm looking more for what the job itself is like, and how to appeal to employers in order to get one
how'd you end up working in HR for that brief period?

How much net worth would someone need to have for you to make the claim, "he/she is rich, in a material sense", if you'd ever make such a claim?
If you're not from america, think of the amount in local currency units, then go here and find your country on the list: http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/PA.NUS.PPP
Divide the amount in your head by the number you found for your country there, then post the results in dollars to give us the amount in purchasing power terms.
Pic, semi-related?
I'll start, I'd say $700,000
GDP per Capita 49,000
Rich 10,000,000 atleast
Paid benefits, house, cars, vacation time, can retire before the age of 60, estate is planned.
Would it be legal to take articles from one website, translate them roughly / rewrite them to another language, don't give any source (except for the photos) and then post them on a blog for ad revenue?

How would this work on an international level?
Couldn't you just get around it by posting in a nation that doesn't have these kinds of restrictions?
>>1076908
Yes of course, but what if I take a buzzfeed article and rewrite it into another language?
What if I took half of a buzzfeed article and half of anothers site's article and mix it together?
I mean buzzfeed usually sources reddit or twitter so I could source those links as well.
Nobody can prove I stole content?

Go into trade, work all the overtime you can until you're 25, keep your expenditure down, invest smart. Someone else will have to help you with the last bit
>>1076804
You don't unless you're athletically or musically gifted or really really really good-looking.

This is worse than Jewtube and Zynga combined. One every 3-4 games is reasonable if you're time stretching. This is literally "hit the ad X: the game."
