Hi /biz/,

Going on a student exchange to Moscow, Russian Federation in February and have almost 6000 AUD saved already. I have already been offered an informal job to teach English at a school by a friend, but I'd rather not and just look for jobs to come back to after my exchange. I would preferably like to work outside of the whole teaching English thing.

I have a few questions that I think will be best answered here than anywhere else:

-How do I preserve the value of my humble $6k? Am already with citibank and only really have to worry about the...

Should I do Texas A and M Galveston's Marine Administration Program is that just another useless degree. They also have a 5 years Master and Bachelors Program where you get Masters of Marine Administration and Logistics. Is it worth it or will I just be racking up debt only to go back to lifeguarding.

I am 21 now.

I recognize that I have a limited amount of time and cannot be wasting it and need a REAL CAREER with advancement. I already got 39 college credits at community college and a few lifeguarding jobs under my belt I can use as references.

How many pages should the typical business proposal be?

My idea is to set up a small team operation that will acquire the license of an existing product (in this case, a foreign language book) which is then sold via digital distribution backed by pre-order demand. It would involve four major steps (acquisition, advertisement, localization, distribution) and about two to four workers including myself.

Any advice about the process of enticing investors is appreciated, I'd like to hear about about personal experiences involving investors, proposals, etc.

Does anyone here have an app with a lot of downloads? I just released something and its barely getting any traction. How did you promote your app?

I already contacted some journalists and even smaller newspapers want $1000 bucks for an article, which is way over my budget for this thing.

So with the fed raising interest rates what are traditionally the moves to make?

Are we to just accept that things will be tighter and we will make less money or is there any kind of silver lining to it?

Im pretty upset, I had an opportunity to invest directly in some oil wells and then oil crashed, now I have been trying to get a good deal on a piece of real estate and rates are going up. I feel like a boat missing piece of shit right now. Feels like all the parties are ending as soon as I have saved up enough money to do anything.

What do I do now /biz/?

Has anyone here ever applied for a job listing online and then gotten a reply that is obviously some sort of scam? What do you do about it?

I just applied for a job on craigslist, then almost immediately got a email about it with Indian-tier grammar asking for all my personal information and a lot of weird shit. When i checked craigslist the ad had been deleted. I called the phone number in the email (Which said text only, with an out of area area code) and got a voicemail for someone with a different name then the one given in the email.

Is there anything you...

Hypothetical question: let's say you gain insight into the future and become almost certain, that the at least moderately wealthy people from your generation will live at average 200+ years (some possibly much longer), if they dole out cash for various procedures later in life.

How does that change your outlook on investment and your business? Which financial tools become more and which less attractive for the long, looong haul?

Is this true /biz/?

https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354-500-revealed-the-capitalist-network-that-runs-the-world/

Previous studies have found that a few TNCs own large chunks of the world’s economy, but they included only a limited number of companies and omitted indirect ownerships, so could not say how this affected the global economy – whether it made it more or less stable, for instance.

The Zurich team can. From Orbis 2007, a database listing 37 million companies and investors worldwide, they pulled out all 43,060 TNCs and the share ownerships linking them. Then they constructed a model of which companies controlled others through shareholding networks, coupled with each company’s operating revenues, to map the structure of economic power.

The work, to be published in PLoS One, revealed a core of 1318 companies with interlocking ownerships (see image). Each of the 1318 had ties to two or more other companies, and on average they were connected to 20. What’s more, although they represented 20 per cent of global operating revenues, the 1318 appeared to collectively own through their shares the majority of the world’s large blue chip and manufacturing firms – the “real” economy – representing a further 60 per cent of global revenues.

When the team further untangled the web of ownership, it found much of it tracked back to a “super-entity” of 147 even more tightly knit companies – all of their ownership was held by other members of the super-entity – that controlled 40 per cent of the total wealth in the network. “In effect, less than 1 per cent of the companies were able to control 40 per cent of the entire network,” says Glattfelder. Most were financial institutions. The top 20 included Barclays Bank, JPMorgan Chase & Co, and The Goldman Sachs Group.
