This online toy store is opening a retail location in Austin TX over the weekend.
Here in PA, retail options are constantly shrinking. We've got 2 Toys R Us and 1 Spencers-like chain shop (that won't be around this time next year) within a 40 mile radius. All of the other chains and independants are closed.
The convention business is a mixed bag. Seems to be more shows popping up but little money being spent.
Are these guys going to make it? If so, what makes Austin different from Harrisburg or Pittsburgh?
>>1087568
Disposable hipster and/or trust fund income for toys. Austin has lots of retail like this. Look up Toy Joy. Its an institution there.

So my old family business was real estate, dating back to reconstruction post civil war. My family were considered carpetbaggers ( They were ) and made a killing off the low property values In the south at the time. Sadly my grandfather fucked all that up, giving up 200k In the 1930's after a moral argument with his father. My great grandfather was pro nazi and therefore pro isolation while my grandfather was a patriot and left to go and fight the nazi's for three years and staying In occupied Germany for three more years creating a rift between the rich In my family...

I intend to restore my families greatness. Cypto bullshit won't help me do that. I want to have buildings with my surname on them as my ancestors did. I want to control half of a city's property as my great-great grandfather did. I have no interest In settling for anything less. I shall bring back glory to my family name or die trying. I just want to know what any real estate elites here can give me some sage advice. I need some Trump-esque bois In here to school me on how to start at the bottom. Sadly...

> with no start off cash
Your mission is admirable, but you need some capital before you can start flipping properties (which is probably the way you'll have to go until you get serious cash).
How do you figure out if there is enough market share in an industry to consider starting a business in that industry? And/Or how do you figure out if a market demand is being fully or adequately satisfied?

Macro or micro level? What are you trying to do

micro. Just trying to start a business in anything. Want to figure out how much more room for supply there is in any industry.
Im nor sure if anyone here is familiar with a plant called "kratom", but its this southeast asian tea leaf, related to the coffee plant, that gives you a nice opiate-like buzz. Its legal in the USA, aside from a couple of states that have banned it for god knows why. Theres dozens of sites selling it online in either small quantities of powder, or bulk by the kilo.
My question is this:
Im in southeast asia right now and will be traveling through some of the world's best kratom-growing regions in Malaysia. If I could find a quality local grower and convince him to ship kratom back to me in the US, could this be turned into a profitable business?
The online competition seems pretty pretty competitive. It might be possible to start selling locally at first to all the smokeshops in my area, but I imagine that wouldn't turn too big of a profit. One other thing thats kind of discouraging is that the legal status of this stuff in america is a grey area and basically the govt has the power to shut it down at any time and have been threatening to in many states.
Worth attempting it or no?
>>1082688
The FDA will sieze it at the border, look up June, 9 2015.
There's a huge market established already. Good luck seeing an operation through like that while touristing.
Side effects associated with chronic kratom use include loss of appetite and weight loss, delayed ejaculation... SOLD!!
now to see if my work allows it

I want to claim my US tax back. However, I'm currently in Ireland and no accountant here wants to touch it.
Can any of ye guys recommend a good online site that will help me claim my tax back?
Much appreciated

Are you planning to spend your back taxes on ethereum by any chance?
Well, probably not.
But i might if you tell me how you go about getting your taxes

So I've been toying In my mind about getting Into the stock market, however I don't know what books /biz/ considers decent. I know the Art Of The Deal must be bullocks because Trump could've invested his money and gained interest and would've been up several billion from where he Is now doing absolutely nothing. With all of these scams on how to trade and what to trade I really just want a book that'll break down the fundamentals of economics and the stock exchange and perhaps a book that details all the jargon and helps to figure out what stocks are...

Should buy ETH. Its not available on the stock market. It's much better than every stock.

I'm using TurboTax online and I just did my taxes. Earlier in the process before adding in the the extra stuff, it gave me an estimate of what I'll be getting.
I added my mortgage interest, insurance, etc.. since I bought a house late 2014, and the number at the end was the same exact amount it quoted me at the beginning.
I even added work expenses such as work boots for work, vehicle registration since I live in Nevada.
Did I just mess up? I didn't complete it yet, but I"ve gone through it to make sure I did it right, but at the end,...

ETH is like an attractive girlfriend. You spend all this money on her just so you can pump and dump her.

Wew. You just went full retard.

I'd much rather just pump and dump yours after a night.

Then you fall in love and end up holding her bag for the rest of your life.
Is a software focused comp. eng. worth it for someone who doesn't find tech inherently fascinating? I think the computers and the Internet are powerful tools that can do a lot of good but at the same time I'm kind off fed up with the constant 24/7 distractions they present. Programming is interesting but only when applied to great and important things. I can't seem to identify as "an engineer" but the non-tech alternatives seems weak as everything's becoming more tech-oriented.
I guess my question is; do these skills transfer to "softer...

You can work in a variety of fields granted that wherever you live, your uni/college has heavy math in the course.

>am I doomed to work with computers my entire life?
probably, but not necessarily with hardware or anything.
I mean, everything uses computers, unless you're in labor or maybe a trade you're going to be using computers, engineer or not.
that said, they call me an engineer at work but I don't do much tech oriented work at all. mostly screwing around with a business application.

I'm aware that in 2013 there was a big shitstorm among major banks (especially Canadian) regarding trading cryptocurrency online and their hostility towards traders (shutting down/freezing accounts, flagging for laundering etc).
How hostile are these banks currently this year? Should I forewarn my bank that I am interested in trading cryptocurrencies? If not, what's the common solution for digital currency traders?
>>1087507
No
Unless you are trading bitcoin as a business they don't need to know shit
