can someone explain what happened to UWTI to me?
reverse split
>>1143150
if you own that get out now you are going to get fucked. they reverse split it every so many months once the price gets low and the time decay drives it into the ground.
seriously you will lose your ass in the next month.

So you're saying short UWTI?

I'd like to believe there are some people on this board dedicated to more than just get rich quick schemes and speculation scams that can offer practical insight and experience.
Hello /biz/, academ/ic/, I want to start taking comissions but I have some doubts about paypal that I hope you know enough about.
I know paypal isn't kind to porn artists and what should I use to avoid that. the invoice and only offering my work as a service but I also wanted to make a second account with a different mail and once I get payed move the money to the second account in case the first one gets banned so they don't take my money away. But: can third parties see where I move my money? Is my plan against paypal's policies?
I will also like to get...

porn billionaire here. graduated from university of /ic/ about a year ago. no, third parties can not see where you move your money. your plan against paypals policies is the following:
- ask clients not to put anything in the comment box of the invoice
- put something like 'design consultation', or 'skype tutoring session' in the invoice item description. this ensures that nobody can claim you did not deliver the product, as the invoice clearly lists a service, not a shippable item...

Another protip: Try to get to a level of skill/popularity where you don't charge under 100$. Because once you are there you don't get anymore young inexperienced and generally annoying/dangerous clients. You almost only get people who understand discretion, mutual respect, and appreciate what you do.
Been drawing smut professionally for a few years and have never had any serious issues with paypal.

That answers most of my issues
Seems like my best plan is to move my money from paypal to cash but how?

>lowering taxes will bring the jobs back
Who else fell for this meme?
Maybe it won't make them come back, but it will make most corporations at least stay within the U.S.

But they don't 'cease operations' in the US, they just cut jobs and expand elsewhere.

Hey/biz/ do you have any recommendations to someone who doesn't fully know what they want to do as a career? I'm a smart guy and successful I just don't know what I want to go to school for. Any recommendations will be much appreciated. What did you go to school for? How successful are you now?
>>1142172
>Hey/biz/ do you have any recommendations to someone who doesn't fully know what they want to do as a career?
Literally EVERYONE your age has the same problem unless they are being forced into a career path by their parents.
The answer to your question is, just go with what you're good at. Once you're in college, network like crazy because that will be more important than just studying hard to get good grades.

Thanks for the honest advice I really appreciate it. I was actually thinking of taking a systems admin course in September because i'm really good with technology. I really appreciate the insight again.
Anyone can give you some decent answers but you will learn the most about yourself when you get to college, trust me. You'll see how you do in social situations, presentations, reports, papers, research, exams, and from there you'll have a much better picture on what you're most suitable at. That's why so many people shift majors.
But that doesn't tell you anything and is pretty much like saying that you should fuck up and make mistakes before learning anything. You don't have to fail to learn. Here's my advice as a 19 year old junior in uni who's going to finish college at 20.
>Look at the majors you're interested in. Now you have a feel for what you like. But is it viable?
>Look at the job market, salaries, work locations and your family connections. Do these make the major you're interested in practical and doable? If yes, great. You can do what you love and stay job secure. If not, you can take the risk of doing something you might find out you're not as interested in as you first thought.
>Now that you've weeded out the shitty stuff, look up some syllabuses on the majors you're interested in. Do some coursework for 4 months at the least and see how it feels. Now this is important, DO THE WORK. If you can't manage yourself for shit then you won't get anywhere. You're better off fucking up in college and learning from your mistakes than forcing yourself to do something you don't fully appreciate to begin with.
>Read the textbooks, do the research, write the essays, find exercises with answer keys and do them. What you're doing in 4 months of paced, dedicated work will reflect what you'll do in 4-5 years of college. Did you enjoy it? Did you appreciate it? Etc. You can reflect for yourself
>Mix up your knowledge sources with youtube, podcasts, articles, forums, etc. Don't just stick to the books. Archimedes had fun doing what he was doing, he wasn't doing it because it was practical or "important to society" (conjecture on my part)
What kind of system would you choose or what kind of approach would you choose to check on the employees every week, if they are doing their workload and how much have they progressed? I've been assigned with a project to create an excel sheet which others can edit so the boss will see the work done and the work to be done. But I am unable to come with any interesting idea. Thx Anons
Most companies have these things called "Meetings" weekly or biweekly and employees can email important updates to their supervisor. Your boss sounds like he just got the job from daddy.
I don't understand the point of using excel here but I guess we still have ancient methods of document control too, so I'd approach it with a automatic weekly sweep of signatures and dates with a visual cue, and give every employee their own sheet linked back to the list. If your boss really is a stupid cunt just have everyone upload an image of a progress bar made in paint.
>>1142143
that sounds like a nice idea, but on meetings we mostly find out that the work does not get done or some are lacking behind, this is the kind of a boss which has a lot to handle but doesn't share a lot of information so he wants to have everything under control, but then he lacks a way of checking the employees. Thank you for your thoughtful insight. I was thinking of creating a task list on the company's server where everybody would check what tasks are done. but so far i find it useless
>>1142145
sounds like a great place to work wow
just remember you're somehow higher than everyone because you were assigned to check on them. do you offer workers cyanide pills?

>inb4 to promote the advancement of science and technology for the benefit to society and mankind
Bullshit. All they are producing are millions of graduates (mostly STEM wannabes) for a few thousand jobs available in the economy, with student loans they can never ever hope to pay back and when most jobs will just go to the "muh enterprising and oppressed immigrant" anyway.
>Few thousand jobs in the economy
Do you really believe that?
I'm tempted to tell you to go back to pol/r9k and whine there but you probably created a thread over there too

You are ridiculous.

How do you tell when to buy during the dip? How do you tell when to sell b4 it dips?
>>1141889
Research, luck, insider tips or very fast action to catch things at the very beginning.
But if people could reliably predict fluctuations 100% of the time there would be no speculation, only pure profit all the time for everyone.
Don't need to buy at the bottom dip. You just need to be where it's low.
>>1141889
Watch a stock for a few months. There are 10% swings in just about any stock. Ignore those. You'll know the dip when you see it.
Patience.
And remember, a wise man once said, "I've never bought the bottom and never sold the top." Don't be afraid of missing the bottom or top, there's plenty of money to be made in between.
Hey /biz/, would you ever start a business in Cuba, with the embargo soon ending. As a Cuban American raised less than 150 miles away from Cuba, I feel like working with my mother country would be a fulfilling job, providing capitalist, higher paying jobs to an impoverished people. What do you guys think? And what businesses would you think would flourish in Cuba?
selling cheap stuff like chinese smartphones to quickly connect people together
also anything cheap really, and juice carts too, it's hot there
>>1141647
So you'd say importing cheap Chinese cell phones would be a good idea? I agree wholeheartedly, but now I'm curious if there's infrastructure for mass cell phones, and if they have carriers available to the public.
Juice carts is a good idea.
>>1141641
I guess it depends more on how they feel about you opening business there. Tourism will rocket so there will be money but most people don't like out foreigners coming in to profit. Carpetbaggers are seen as bad to a lot of people.
Making 21k annually and upped my contributions to 10%. What else can I do to increase?
You have to be an idiot to contribute anything other than the maximum possible to your 401k unless you have loans to pay off. Anything past your living expenses and loans should go straight into it. It's basically free money.
You could contribute 11%

Hey /biz/nessmen I'm new here but I've noticed a lot of talk about ETH, since I've been broke up until now and busy with uni I didn't pay it any mind because there's nothing I could do about it, but I recently feel into a few hundred dollars by chance. I want to invest at least some of it in Ethereum or whatever but I'm not sure how, can someone give me a quick how-to, or link me to where I can find one? Thanks mates
>>1141273
Look, usually I'd sit back and let people lose their money but I feel the broke and don't want to see you fall into this trap rn.
Don't buy eth. Its too late. Its a classic bubble. Seriously, look at a long term chart of bitcoin and compare. You really don't want to get into it right now, the risk of its collapse is so high.
There are dozens of other coins you could invest in and get a decent yield. But I wouldn't touch eth at all at this point, the whales are itching to dump. Btc itself...

Hey /biz/, how much cash do you have on hand in case of emergencies? I feel like I'm pretty risk averse, so I have about $20k that I do nothing with but leave in a money market account.
Is this too small? Too big?
What are your opinions on this?
Also I saw an interview with Mark Cuban and he said he keeps all of his money in cash and only invests when he sees an opportunity to make money. This seems pretty damn stupid to me but he is a billionaire so what do I know.
So on another note, is Mark Cuban an idiot?
20k is to much invest 10k and Mark Cuban is a faggot born a couple steps from home plate
conventional wisdom is to keep 2 months living expenses in cash and invest the rest
>>1141327
Doesn't 2 months seem like not very long though? What if I have a medical emergency or something?
