High frequency trading algorithms.

I work for a company that does retail and services (birthday parties, summer camps, classes, ect for kids). Recently, a business opened up just a few miles away offering many of the same things we do. To make matters worse, it appears that they looked at our pricing for services and took off a small, but noticeable amount. Now nothing they're doing is breaking copyright laws, but I can tell they decided to piggyback on us and undercut us.
Any advice on dealing with clear copycat businesses?
>>1276442
Keep prices high. Offer to price match in store. Increase marketing campaigns. Overpower them.
>>1276463
I doubt we could afford to price match on our services, but from what I've seen of these people, their services are lower quality (eg the summer camps are only 3 hours as opposed to 6 from us).
How big of a difference would it make to customers to point out that our employees are paid above minimum wage? I personally feel like parents would appreciate knowing that the people looking after their children aren't kids plucked from high school being paid peanuts.
>>1276480
yes you either offer more quality and a better image general or lower prices, like change the ad for summer camp from 6 hours to "+3 hours if you choose us." kind of thing.
instead of focusing on wage focus on the qualification and experience. you can always say hey we have been doing it a long time and so we are better at it.
Whenever there is a gold rush, don’t mine for gold, sell bitcoins and kneepads.
Well, according to /biz that is, but then again /biz might not be the best place for investing.
So what sites do you use for new ideas or to detect new trends?
Read the news. No site is going to explicitly tell you what the "trends" are -- and if they do, you will invariably lose money following their advice.
>>1276444
Hold on there. With trends I don’t mean financial advice. I would never follow chills like that.
I mean what site would report that gadget x is the flavor of the month?
>>1276466
Gizmodo
>Whenever there is a gold rush, don’t mine for gold
That's sage advice. Gold miners didn't really get rich during the gold rush. The guys who sold them shovels did.
I reckon that there have to be at least a few people here who actually daytrade etc. but this is a fucking imageboard so I doubt you can get your info consistently off of /biz/
So I wanted to know what websites all of you use to stay updated, predict and all that
I'm a eurofag btw so it'd be nice if you can recommend shit for us here too

For news, WSJ exclusively.
WSJ
Bloomberg
Reuters
These three exclusively. They all have breaking news and are reliably news sources. I have a much longer list of sources I avoid (business insider, seeking alpha, motleys fool, ect)
if women do equal work, but for less pay than their male colleagues
why dont companies just hire women to save costs
>>1276324
Because of maternity leave. Bosses don't want to deal with the woman going off for 3-4 years, paying them, getting new staff and training them to do the job all over again.
>>1276328
wouldn't a few months of maternity leave balance out over 60~ years of lower wages
>>1276324
Because this isn't the truth. Women are paid less because of their lower performance compared to men and tendency to focus and care more about their family than work. Of course there are exceptions of high performing women in the work force, but for the other 85% my previous comment applies.

Buy a couple crack rocks, go to an area with a high demand/low supply, sell crack rocks, get more crack, sell more rocks, eventually you'll have to buy a gun to drive out competitors.

I couldn't think of a better time to buy
I have good code skills and I get a good salary doing it.
How can I make some extra money? I am thinking about freelancing some weekends but it is hard to compete agains cheap devs in east Europe, India o China on online website.
Trading could be another solution.

I've just published an eBook but I have no marketing experience, no "social media" following or anything of the sort.
Does anybody have experience in this? There are marketing guys on fiverr who say they can do it, but to me it just looks like a scam where they have twitter and facebook pages full of bots that they'll just post it on...
My plan at the moment is to run a free promotion for 3 days and just ask a load of people to review it.

Do you know of many differences between west coast invesment banking vs east coast?
lad can't even take a proper photograph never mind anything else
>>1275928
It varies. I've been here 4 years now and they know I do good work so I get more flexibility than you'd expect. But that's because banking is very "self-driven", they don't need to set strict rules because almost everyone that gets this far is extremely focused and driven. E.g. I worked from home Wed/Thurs, but I've been in from 6PM Sunday to 9AM Monday.

Can anyone please explain to me how I can mine TrumpCoin?
>>1275888
trumpcoin is POS, you don't mine it, you stake it to get extra money [call it interest].
Which means, you already need some coins in your trumpcoin official wallet to get minuscule interest.
>>1275888
You can't mine it. It's proof of stake.
I'll help ya out though:
>Obtain BTC (try localbitcoins)
>Deposit BTC into your yobit wallet
>Buy TRUMP with BTC
>Withdraw TRUMP into official trump wallet
Two questions: why should I keep TRUMPS on my wallet instead of market platform and second...
