Is USO a safe bet? Am I going to get rekt? Thanks guys.

It's not a safe bet at all, and it has nothing to do with whether oil continues to fall.
USO will only be profitable if oil makes a significant move during the current month's contract. There is always price decay when the contract rolls over the next month. So USO will lose money in any period where:
-Oil goes down over any time frame
-Oil stays flat over any time period
-Oil goes up on a month-to-month basis by less than the difference between the prior month futures contract and the current month futures contract
USO is not "investing in oil". It's making a short term bet that oil will rise before the current futures contract expires.

Before the iran has even started selling their oil? A moment of silence for your dead dollerinos.
i have many questions about this. for my background, i live in florida and have only access to UPS to ship.
>1 what is the maximum amount of days that i can specify for 'handling time' on ebay?
ideally, i want to only leave the house once a week to ship all the items that people buy. would i be able to do this or will it violate the 'ship the day you receive payment' standards thing?
>2 how do i prepare packages for shipping?
is there a way that i can have everything packaged...

I really need to start dropping a phone# so i don't have type as much.
1) you can take up to 30 days to ship (if you set it to that... no body will buy your shit, but that's whatever)
2) honestly, too many variables... how big are your packages?
3) all irrelevant. First sell shit; then, worry about rules.
>>1046664
What an ugly fucking gook
I dont understand why it would be difficult for you to send shit out within the same day seller made payment or 24 hours max
Before asking these questions try it out first and slowly and see where that takes you
THEN worry about the trials and tribulations of starting a business

I can speak 6 languages almost perfectly but my math abilities are crap.
How much of a chance do I have to succeed in the business world, assuming I'm good looking?
Is language skill even useful anymore?
>>1046347
That's bullshit.
Record a vocaroo of you reading 2-3 sentences fluently in all 6 languages right now.
>>1046348
Lol I'm on my phone right now and I have no idea how to do this for you anon, but I'm fluent in French,English,German,Swiss-German,Portuguese and Japanese even if the last one is a bit harder.
Back to my question, is there some use to this shit?
>>1046352
Yes. Translating, transcribing, etc.
I am highly skeptical of you being good at all in all of those languages though. If you were any good at them you wouldn't be asking such a silly question.
Any engineers on right now?

How long do foods patents last?
Bullish.
What do you mean deregulation the financial sector lead to heavy booms and busts? Clearly more market liberalism and less social security will fix this.

I'm gonna risk buying Chinese stocks after the crash they just had. The government won't let them fall much more.

>The government won't let them fall much more
The government has only shown their attempt at controlling the market has failed miserably and investor confidence is shaken.

Anyone have any tips on finding the cheapest flights (domestic, US)? Any ways to save money that aren't entirely obvious?

travel when gas is cheap
i can get flights to las vegas for about 40 bucks each way.
>>1048433
Call the airline directly or go to their website instead of a aggregator, they can get you cheaper rates than what you see online
Transferring to a university after my gen eds are done at my current community college.
I now have two options, I wanted to major in compsci and go to school in state in IL.
My first option is to just go to uni here, and rack up probably 50k in loans.
My second option is to take ASU's online software engineering degree for free.
What do?
>>1048351
the main thing im worried about is how online programs are looked down upon, although my diploma wouldnt have any mention of it being online
also the availability and possible difficulty in finding internships
>>1048363
online is garbage and no one will respect you or your degree.
do normal uni. apply for financial aid, federal work study, scholarships, etc. Be frugal. There are lots of scholarships for community college transfers. I got a 5000 dollar one for just having above a 3.0. Make connections with people to increase chances of jobs later. Get a job during school and use money to pay loans.
>>1048398
like i said my degree wouldnt be any different from somebody who studied on campus.
we would both graduate with the same major, no note of it being online
what do you guys think about this book ? is it still best book about investing ?
Replace the word "stock" with "etf" and you have an updated version of that book
>>1048291
it's not necessarily relevant anymore, however, if you're beginning to invest, it's the best place to start, and continue from there.
>>1048291
it was never the best book about investing
it contains almost zero actual practical advice
Hey /biz/ , a bit of a weird question but that's really holding me back. So how do you stay focused and don't lose concentration? I know what I have to do and how to do it but I just get distracted all the time, I can't seem to be able to focus on something in particular and even if I do I lose interest quickly when I see that I can do that shit. For example my hobbie was fashion, I was super interested in all the fabrics, the textures of the garments and so on. But I started a small business selling designer clothing and while I do admire the craftsmanship I...
