I bought a shitload of them after investigating the coin and hearing about it here on bizz.
Heard some nice updates and apps coming up.
The bitcoin killer aka Gulden, hope it is true.
I saw they are going to update that Gulden can be used at more places than bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency.
Pretty much sold all my bitcoins and went into Gulden.

Be me, 21. Minimalist.
I'd like to be a millionaire by 30. Read up on people who've done it before, and it actually sounds plausible.

Burnout.

Might be higher rent than what you could be paying.

If it doesn't affect your emotional and mental health then why not?

How much money would you have to save every year to become a millionaire by then, 90k?

You're not really missing anything, it's just that you'll be uncomfortable and tired for the next 9 years. A lot of people don't want to spend that long of a time living so minimally for a simple million or so since it's not actually that much money when it comes right down to it.
Good time to buy low?
well yes or no?
Buy gold, you dummy.
For some stocks yes, for most stocks no.
I think it's going to drop more before it picks up.

Umm... no. Only sell.

S&P 500 down 8% YTD after 2 weeks

Just buy the dip go..guys.
>the Dow opened at 1600
>2.3% gone right after the opening bell
Reminder that for the Dow to follow its historical growth trend, it would be at 6000 right now, not 16000.
Hold onto your butts.

Are there actually people who think the market crashing is a big deal?

something's coming our way man. baltic dry index, oil, china, middle east & IS, refugees, US elections & US markets... and all markets for that matter!
all fucked up, and i don't see gold responding to this as i'd expect (or as it was doing prior 2008 crisis)

Is all ecommerce software focused on having your own website?
Is there any solution that you log into and it pulls sales, listings, and other important information from Etsy, eBay, and other selling platforms into on easy-to-use platform?
If there isn't, would anyone that is into ecommerce be interested in such a solution?
>>1043350
I'm not sure i understand what you mean
>>1043362
Instead of logging into etsy & ebay separately, you log into one platform. With this platform, you can create listings, read messages, and leave feedback. You'd also be able to see the profit you'd make before creating a listing.
Does any of this exist?

Just passed stage III development on this very idea/ product. Have about $10,000 USD into it now and we're releasing the beta soon.
So I'm about to start investing my money that I earn to generate capital or just basic monthly revenue. Even if it's just a few cents.
My first investment idea is to take a portion of my weekly paycheck and invest into solid dividend yielding stock and use the money generated from that to play some faster moving 2$< stocks and hopefully get some cash off that.
My other idea was to just hold on to that money generated from the dividends and continue to invest in less risky stocks to make more yield.
And finally, I could just invest my money...

So yea, I have about 20K and get about 400 euro a month. That's just rotting away in a bank.
My plan was to put it in an index, but I'm pretty scared about the crash meme. It would be a shame having to wait the first few years after the crash to make up the lost money. So I will wait till summer, if it hasn't crashed then I will probably invest.

>>timing the market
Also dividends are dumb. Invest in profitable companies and selloff to cashout earnings
As an artist there is much business related things involved like marketing, I'm just here to emphasize on social media. I get that you need it to grow, but I don't really understand any of it other than deviant art. I'm currently trying to get into Twitter, they've done a good job with managing how well you're doing; giving you statistics and such (I really like this).
How relevant is Tumblr, I get that you guys could care less about that place but it's pretty important I'm assuming because of all the losers on there who fall for 'kawaii...

Pinterest should be right up your alley. Don't know how spreading your art all over the internet is gonna make you money though.
>>1043469
It's more of a side job. Right now I'm far from it but it's realistic. There's Patreon, Donations, Commissions, the possibility of gaining enough popularity that you become a Twitch Partner and gain subscribers. There's YouTube where I can make tutorials, speed paints, etc and gain monitizating (im a youtube partner but that doesnt mean shit because I only have 1 video that made it happen.)... There's probably other ways; I'm just unaware of them at the moment.

Tumblr is extremely relevant when it comes to showing off your art portfolio. It is much more trafficked than DeviantArt, it's why if you go look at /ic/ people post their art on Tumblr so that it spreads places. Tumblr isn't relevant for discussion based on how it's website works but it's much better than here for example when it comes to a public place for your portfolio. The key thing is that other people link your work. You link your twitter account so that you have followers, and then you can...

what do you guys think about it?
providing financial security of the elderly, or robing people of money they could invest themselves and robing them of liquidity
for those who don't know, superannuation is the practice of the government taking some of your wage and setting it aside for your retirement, like a forced retirement fund
>>1042933
It's a fucking brilliant idea.
Higher levels of long run economic growth can only occur through capital accumulation, and behavioural economics shows us that people are incredibly time inconsistent with their savings and consumption preferences. More basically, people value today's consumption much more than saving for future consumption. What this means is that people don't voluntarily save enough for their retirements, which leads to future burdens on public pension systems.
So by taking...

Sorry, I know how to better invest my own money then any bureaucrat dipshit that doesn't really have any skin in the game.
>>1043109
Lmao.
Props for not actually understanding how superannuation works. Funds aren't managed by bureaucrats, they're managed by superannuation firms with professional fund managers. If your fund isn't performing you can switch to another, and if you've got enough money to warrant the high fixed costs you can put it into a self managed super account. Regardless, either way you're still putting compulsory payments in until you're 60 or w/e and can start withdrawing.

How do I become a tradesman in Ontario, canada? Is it as easy(or hard...) As finding a company to take me on as an apprentice?
>>1040719
Where in Ontario faggotron? maybe have SOME semblance of the trade you want to get into?
I got an apprentice-like job in plumbing for 11.5usd after taxes when I was 18. Was pretty happy all it consisted of was sitting in a car and handing down tools here and there. Felt like I was making bank too.
Electrician in the GTA here.
You need a government sponsored apprenticeship. You can get these either by going through a trade-union or a non-union company. The former will get you registered with the government faster usually, if not right away. Both have their ups and downs, and varies widely depending on the trade. Apprenticeships are usually 3-6 years, with a pay scale starting around 40% of what a licensed person is earning. This increases yearly as you progress.
Being registered means you're on the government's radar and you are put on to the...

Why does free market capitalism get such a bad rap? Why don't more people recognize that our standards of living are a result of the free enterprise system? Why are governments around the world trying to stifle economic freedom in favor of economic equality?
It upsets me that so many problems in countries' economies are caused by a failure to acknowledge the merits of free market capitalism.

You know, I liquidate stuff, I do business with some Chinese that work 16 hours at their day job at the bank, then do business exporting stuff with me when they get home.
These people have plenty of money. They are buying up homes in Beverly hills and everywhere else as vacation houses.
>>1038155
Tbh if you are connected every country is capitalistic and free market. And if you are't... Marxism sounds a lot better all of a sudden.
>>1038139
Because not everyone in our countries have a good standard of living, and in countries like the USA not everyone has the same opportunities - education = expensive.
Here in Australia we can study with no cash upfront and no interest and it costs a 3rd of what it does in the states. But we still have homeless, we still have poor, we still have people who struggle because they grew up in shitcreek and never knew how to be an adult.
Capitalism works but it has its flaws. If 1/3rd of the super rich people's...

Has anyone here tried any binary options platforms? Made any money? Lost any?
What's /biz/'s consensus on this phenomena?
>>1043383
It's betting- no pretence, no bullshit- just a flat out gabling hall for suckers to lose money
PS: Just because your bet on stocks doesn't make you an investor or a trader- it makes you a gambler.
>>1043391
Yeah i agree, but is it any more gambling than conventional trading? I can see how long term investments are different.
Couldn't it be argued that binary options platforms are simply more accessible platforms for people who want to get rich quick so they can retire and relax with a laptop on the beach?
>>1043391
How are there suckers? That would mean it's being rigged by the house.
So guys,for a person to learn the basics of stock market,investing,trading where does he need to start from what does he have to study/learn to begin doing all the above having 0 experience on the actual market and having little knowledge of it the terms and everything basically

How about when do you start?
I hear people all the time talk about "man if only I'd started when I was 18. If only I'd spent some beer money on investments"
I'm 20 and every penny in my bank account comes from 11% interest student loans. To me, it wouldn't make sense to take spare money from that and throw it into some investments.
I think it'd be better to wait until my loans are paid off and I have an actual income to start. Am I wrong?
Hello /biz/, what medical speciality do you think that offers the greatest income with least effort/shifts/working hours.
I was thinking of radiology/orthopedic/anesthesiology/urology.
>>1043185
Radiology. You can literally work from anywhere. They send you the picture files, you voice record your analysis. You get your dollerydoos.
