Hey guys,
I am a 19 year old guy from Germany and just finished school and will start with university next winter.
I've always thought about starting my own buisness (one day in the tech industrie) and I am reading a lot on entrepreneurship, taking courses etc. to educate myself for starting one day.
When I saw a small store for rent a few weeks ago I started to think about opening a liquor store. The store has an excellent position in my (rather small 100k) city and there is no other liquor store anywhere near, only discounters etc..
Btw. I...

Also I don"t see this as to become rich quick or at any cost. It's just that I don't want to be delusional or unrealistic. I don't have a full time job until university and I'm willing to put the work hours in.

I've thought of a liquor store because of this. My town has a university and a lot students. The description of poor/working class fits the rest pretty well.
Anyone else make money from mobile phone games/apps? Looking forward to yet another payment from Google this month.

Its so hard to advertise stuff, that for now - not anymore. You need persistent articles on at least medium sized online game/mobile portals and those cost around $1000 each (800 words). I don't even know how much the top places charge. I msged a guy from CNET technology section and he said "Call me" so its pricy for sure..

The idea was that it could stop inflation without having to stop printing money by telling businesses what they were allowed to charge, and then giving them dollars on cheap enough terms that they could actually afford to sell at those prices

On the internet, reading people defending socialism.
>>1075562
Watching a documentary about how American finance "regulators" are literally the same people sitting on the boards of investment banks that brought on the global anal prolapse of 2008, and also the same people that successfully lobbied against regulation during the decade before that.

ok /biz/antines. I'm a procrastinator and I got some homework due tomorrow. My question is, what are your thoughts on self-driving cars? There are projected to be 10 million of them on the road by 2020. Tesla has introduced a car that can ride lanes by itself and can change lanes at the flip of a button. It even keeps up with traffic.
Any thoughts? The best answers will be consolidated into a single paper. Plus I thought it'd be an ok thread
plz no shitpostin k guys?

Only plus side could be if I can park it downtown and it can take me home once I'm shitfaced drunk. That probably won't be possible however as I'm sure there will be laws requiring drivers to be able intervene in case of emergency.
If i'm wrong on that, then there will be a fuck ton of uber/taxi/truck drivers out of work. Mass unemployment is a great thing right?

i'll be able to manually drive into a shitton of people, then revert the car back to autopilot before it crashes and claim it spun out of control all on its own
Sounds like a good deal to me
Can it drive over curbs to make it into that shitty receiving area? Can it break traffic laws? Can it yell at some idiot to move his car? Delivery driving is deeply unrefined and robuts are going to have a hard time of it
/biz/,
What do companies like Frito-Lay gain when some of their products aren't available in some regions? The reason I ask this is because I live in a section of the Midwest where it's impossible to find a bag of flamin' hot Fritos in any store (all we have here are the plain corn chips and the shitty chili cheese flavor), and the prices online are insane. I was in California on vacation and happened to find a goldmine of them at a grocery store, so naturally, I grabbed a few bags for the future of my fat ass.
Is it that prohibitive for a company...

Statistically, there's higher demand for certain products in certain areas than in other areas. It costs money to stock stores products that might not sell.
>>1073229
Okay, so if some stupid niche brand variation of yet another salted baked snacky-treat doesn't exist in your immediate area in the US it's because the retailers are not aware or chose not to stock that product, due to cost, shelf-space, ect.
Entire brands, like say for example, PBR beer, it doesn't exist in the deep south because it faces so much other competition and the firm that distributes PBR has to truck it further, where it will end up with a higher mark-up and nobody is going to pay a...

they have factories all over the US, since it doesn't make a lot of sense to ship a 99 cent bag of air and grease very far.
your local factory doesn't make them.

The perfect business model:
create a platform, that facilitates a recurring transaction between business partners, or brings these together, and take a share of the value generation in the transaction (obviously from the one who receives the $, and provides the product/service)
What am I forgetting?
Examples:
paypal
patreon
ebay
amazon
etc.
How do I replicate this model to become rich AF?

>How do I replicate this model to become rich AF?
Step 1: have personal connections to a Jewish businessperson (i.e. be Jewish or closely related to someone who is)
Step 2: rely on those business connections to propel you to the top.
It's really that simple!
>>1075638
>Jewish
xDDDDD
>>1075670
Look at all the companies that OP listed. I can guarantee you that's the one trait they all share in common. Either one of the founders was jewish or they had a close friend who was.

But generally speaking your income is so low that you'll get back almost everything you paid in even if they claim you as a dependent.
If they don't claim you as a dependent, you'll get everything back that you paid in.
>>1075427
I literally don't know shit man. I just showed up and money appeared in my bank account every week.
I just know that like 15% of my money went into taxes. I don't even know what a dependent is
Hey /biz/, I'm interested in getting into trading and finance
but I have no idea how. I have a bachelors in engineering and
have worked a somewhat boring job for almost a year, and figured I
could use some of my savings to give trading a shot.
Anyone have any good guides/books/resources to help you get
started, explain the system somewhat?
Thanks in advance.

you're welcome

See, that's the thing, I have no idea what acct or fidelity is. I haven't studied anything close to
economics, and need somewhere good to start.

Hey /biz/ have a commercial banking interview soon for a major bank. small to mid size b2b accounts manager/analyst. looking for advice/commercial banking experience, etc. Already checkout internets and glassdoor and was not particularly helpful. majored in finance so thinking about hitting the books and doing some refreshing. what should i focus on? stats? accounting? basically just trying to get a sense of exactly what they're going to expect of me.
No way to tell. If you're in college right now they wouldn't expect you to know a ton, but know these things:
1) Definitions of common terms in the area you're applying for. Don't be like the guy who told a hiring guy a Goldman he wanted to found a hedge fund, and then could explain what a hedge fund was.
2) Have at least a rough knowledge of where the main markets and a few key indicators etc. are, which way they're trending, what you think they're going to be doing in the next year. So they know you're interested.
Apart from that, they could ask you anything so just be relaxed and see what happens. I remember in my college interviews with the bulge brackets they took us out to lunch as well, so brush up on your table manners if you're a total robot.

thanks anon. graduated uni already. no lunch that i know of.
