>these shoes right here were hand made by a poorfag 6 year old child in forced indentured labor by a Fortune 500 company
Is this justified /biz/?
How was force used?
Yeah I mean it does suck but otherwise there would be no factory there and he just wouldn't have a job, not really solving anything.

You're right, we need to bring those jobs back here instead of allowing other countries to take them.
Has anyone been keeping up with this show?
Thoughts? DISCUSSION THREAD.

This show is great. I'm digging how they contrast Lewis with Giamatti in that Lewis is the loving family man and Giamatti is the sexual deviant. Other shows usually try to make morality so cut and dry where the billionaires are portrayed as evil businessmen and the prosecutors are usually the saviors of the people. I like how this show doesn't do that but gives a more balanced viewpoint that lack of business ethics does not always mean moral corruption.

shitty try2hard dialogue.
Are there any recent shows that are similar? The world of finance for instance? Bonus points for some level of corruption.
I love "/biz/" related tv and movies but a lot of them are lousy.

Question.
Historically, the average return on US small stocks (bottom 10%) has been almost 20% per year, as opposed to the value-weighted return of the whole market, which is about 12% per year.
Logically enough, the standard deviation of the former is twice that of the latter, but on a long-term scale (20+ years) that shouldn't matter.
Pic related.
Why doesn't everyone invest in small stocks? Are there index funds specifically for these kind of stocks. What am I missing?
I'm pretty sure that graph is ignoring the comapnies that went bankrupt at some point after 1926.
>>1105425
I don't think so. That's from a university course, not from some random website. Why would they ignore bankruptcies?
Btw, the numbers I gave are arithmetic averages, geometric averages differ by less because of the greater volatility in small stocks. The difference there is 12.8% vs 9.9% which is still a lot.
>>1105425
Survival bias. It's quite difficult to track failed companies the earlier you get. You have several competing stock exchanges then, especially for the small companies who often weren't listed on the big exchanges, and the data isn't as reliable.
Having said that, I am a small cap investor and I believe with a common sense approach, ruling out risky companies and focussing on ones with excellent - not just great but exellent - fundamentals, you can do pretty well.
Small caps are more likely...

Anyone else lose bitcoin because of this bullshit?
Cryptsy, a huge bitcoin exchage, said it was attacked by some sort of trojan and lost a bunch of coins.
I lost like 0.03BTC but it's still a piss off. Anyone know anything about this?

The point is that this a huge exchange that closed all trading and withdrawals. I'm sure someone lost a significant amount

>What has happened that produce this millennial narcissism?
People like the one in your pic.
US pop culture glorifies being rich and famous regardless of whatever moral values (Or lack thereof) you have.
People like Kanye West, Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus are not only shitty artists, but also shitty human beings and role models. Milennial society is often full of narcissism because that's the sort of value that's taught to them by celebrities.

Sell everything and everyone in your life (be creative, there have to be some asians nearby who will take people for money) and move to Germany; they're taking all refugees right now.
Redpill me /biz/. If the globalist shills want universal basic income then it must be bad. So why is it bad?
My guess is that the circulation of money / economic growth depends on banks making loans to worthwhile businesses, many of them small ones. Now that technology stagnates (or businesses stagnate for whatever reason), less loans are made, and there is less growth and consumption, which is unacceptable to megacrops and government bureaucrats who want GDP growth at all costs. So now the globalists just want to redistribute money to every citizen, 90 % of them dumb plebs, so more money can be spent on Coca Cola, iPads, Big Macs, and all that dumb shit that doesn't really matter (compared to a loan to some guy who wants to start a new business, which is actually worthwhile in the long run).

Well that is how it's going to happen.
Good luck doing it in the US.
You'll never be able to roll back enough of the other welfare programs to make it feasible.
A large number of boomers and professional welfare recipients won't take kindly to having their welfare lowered to the BI levels.
Andy Hall lost 35% reportedly on Astenbeck's oil trades. People chimed in that maybe Andy isn't the "oil God" everyone likes to say he is.
Analyst sees the negative comments about Andy on Seeking Alpha and loses his shit.
Calls Andy a "God". Calls critics of Andy "checkers players in a chess game" and says Andy will deliver "pain" to people on the other side of his trades.
In oil trading you go from "hero to zero" pretty fast. A pilot who crashes a plane into the ground might have been a great pilot...

these guys are big time gamblers - unlike a HFT shop or even a trend follower their trades are for longer holding periods and are basically big directional punts

I want to get into freelance writing, and writing op-ed articles seems like a good way to start.
What websites are known to accept virtually any op-ed articles, as long as they aren't blatant spam or nonsense?
