How does one start a company to compete with Amazon?
>>1040578
You don't. That's not how it works.
You start a company that does a better job selling things than Amazon.
>>1040578
You don't. They haven't made a profit...ever. They're being given investor cash to crush all competition. They're literally designed to ensure there's no competition left standing by the time they bunker down and make a proper margin.
>>1040578
it is possible.

I think its best to design your own. I made mine on GIMP. Its not hard brotha.
Just go on Google and search a few images and logos that represent your business, then use the ideas you have in front of you to make your own.
Also there is this site, where people compete to design your logo. For like $100 you get like 40 possible designs. i forget the name though
Anyone else shorting the S&P?

I've only been trading for a week, and I've done nothing but short. All 17 trades I've made have been successful so far, with the exception being WMT, which was hopefully a bull trap and will keep sliding down like it was today.

>Speculating this much
Ok guys. A few years ago i traded in stocks and made 500 dollars, which wasnt that much but it was good for me. Today I decided to go back into it and make some money for the day by buying something at the beginning of the day and selling it at the end. I saw a good penny stock which went up 47% and kept going, so i bought it using all of my money from earlier. It went down from there, and i decided to sell it. At around 1 it was pretty low, so i bought it again because i thought it had the rest of the day to rise, but right when i bought it it fell. Now im really done because...

GXY:ASX
have fun
>>1032557
Yes I am, you may look at its performance during the last few days. I will not go into the fundamentals but this is an under the radar stock that will get news coverage around April 2016 when they start shipping. However then you can assume its price will be somewhat higher than now.
So I'm trying to get my head round dividends, as an example diagio pay out for 2015 , interim 21.50p. And final. 34.90p ,,my question is, for each share you own you get 21.50p and 34.90p ?
Sorry diageo, trying to type on a bloody tablet

Thank you
My knowledge is rather limited when it comes to economics but could anyone briefly summarize why or how you can even identify an economic bubble? What is the centralized theme of the 'bubble' people speculate that we are in right now.
Is red line I drew using common sense supposed to be the 'actual' steady economic growth and what it 'should' be?
How can the economy overall still be positively ascending, after a certain point wont it level off and there cannot be anymore economic growth, what happens in the end? do we explode or what
>>1040576
Oh and I forgot to mention in the OP.
Why is it since around 1995 there have be large amounts of artificial exponential growth in the economy, is it because technology provides us with ways to give artificial growth which then was corrected in the 2007/08 financial crisis
>>1040576
That chart is misleading. Everything spiked in the 90s because the internet became a worldwide commodity and opened entirely new levels of worldwirde commerce, especially for the US who was using it to abuse poorer nations and get rich (not a bad thing). The crash that then happened wasn't a correction so much as a loss in confidence when it was realized that big players were being total fuckups. That's why it recovered so strongly and so quickly, it was an overcorrection.

You're doing good so far. I was a recruiter for five years.
Only been in the working world for a little over 7 months now. Before that I had 3 internships during college. Already pulling my hair out with this current position though. the pay is good but the location sucks major dicks (middle of long island), the work is meaningless, and the work is only a distant 4th cousin of what I actually want to do (work with media or advertising agencies). ive applied to about 30 positions in the last two months but no responses yet, but they've all been in the city directly since thats where I intend to move.
Is it self-explanatory...

Side note. When I was in high school I applied for a summer job at Hot Topic (that was 16 years ago) had the interview, went great... didnt hear from them. Totally forgot I about them 4 months later I got a call from them asking if I was still interested and that they had an immediate opening.
From interview to my first day was like 18 weeks

Hey /biz/
I can't find a better place to post this so please bare with me
I recently was unconscious and had to be rushed to the ER. While I was in the ambulance I came to somewhat. The one thing I definitely remember is one of the paramedics telling another one, "go ahead and put a catheter in him, no anesthesia" in a real snarky tone.
Thanks to this I have a urethral stricture (damaged urethra, not severely but it is painful when i ejaculate/urinate)
Is this something I can press charges against the paramedics for?
>>1032406
Sue the individual, not the company.
That way you won't contribute to higher healthcare prices.
>>1032408
Shitty advice.
Sue the hospital, they will settle and pay you.
Trying to sue a person is hard as fuck.
>>1032406
Irethral strictures are a known complication of catheters. Using anaesthesia would not have helped. Maybe not using lubrication would predispose you. Their argument would be that it was an emergency/ your word against theirs.
Hospital may settle out of court.
Hey guys I just started a Vanguard account.
Do I keep my funds in the Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund or do I buy vanguard funds with the money in that? Please help
>>1032341
Get 10k and buy some admiral funds or go to the ETFs.
Trick to Vanguard is low fees
>>1032341
>Vanguard Prime Money Market Fund
Think of the money market fund as your savings account. It's for storing cash, but not for investing. It will also hold any extra cash in your account, such as from dividends, distributions, and proceeds of sale.
You can leave cash there long term, if you want. But that's no different than putting it into a savings account at your bank, and the interest you'll earn (quite low, currently) will be nearly identical.
So, yes,...

because you are asking this question I will try to explain the types of accounts.
Money Market Fund or Accounts - cash account that simply stores money with slight restrictions or no restrictions
Pros: Don't lose money
Cons: Don't gain money either
Mutual Fund - Majority of account types at vanguard. Typically a blend of many stocks or bonds on the stock market. An owner buys a "share" of all those stocks, so it's fractional stock shares which carry everything that the original...
