How do I become a stockbroker?
>>1072481
Apply for jobs at firms that do that...
What should I study at college if I want to become a stock broker?
>>1072519
Anything from the 80s, because that's where most of the stock broker jobs are.
Hear me out. K? So, i brought for it 50eur and sold it for a 100eur. Not the best possibility, but i shouldn't be greedy. Now i'm out. Dumped.
BUT i learnt just this dawn, that i could buy a contract at https://www.genesis-mining.com/ and they would mine ETH for me, for a year.
I get 3Mhash/sec for 50eur and they promise to change it around to any altcoin if within the year ETH mining won't be possible anymore.
Notable info: as i heard China is not yet trading this ether.
So what do you think? Should i invest my surplus into this contract? Also, i have no clue what 3Mhash/s gets me in ETH.
börp
>>1072365
No.
1) All cryptocoin industries are full of scams. As a rule cash should always flow to you if you don't want to be ripped off.
2) If they can mine at profit they would double down on that and sell their coins not seek outsiders. They either can't make 50eur of coins or they think the price won't be as high later.
tl:dr its either an outright scam or they just think its too risky to do themselves.
Can anyone give me an isight on China's standing in ETh and a predistion please?
Anyone know of a profitable niche that isn't already dominated or super competitive

If I lived in the same shit hole you did that would be an option, and I acknowledge that but that conversation is for a later date.
yes i know of a secret and i will share it with billions of other internet users :^)
Name some things that changed your life for the better.
For me it was quitting league and waking up at 8am every day.
Going to the gym regularly and not soloing large pizzas every weekend

Forex. Fuckin changed my life

How does one express alpha male behavior in the workplace?
>>1061831
pee on people, similar to how your dog does.
I find that knowing deep down that your piles of ether are massive helps.
Also, imagine he has a small dick
Ugh, this should be in the sticky

This is exactly why Bitcoin's marketcap will reach the trillions over the next 10 years.
>>1072168
>Bitcoin
That's a funny way of spelling ethereum.
Ethereum is more than just a currency. It's a replacement for the entire financial services industry.
>>1072168
Anyone surprised? Bitcoin was a Trojan horse for a FED controlled digital currency.
>>1072303
It won't be though. Think of ETH and Bitcoin as a way of them testing the ecosystem with real world data. I don't think that the FED is ready to announce that they have already developed their own blockchain. They need to slowly integrate it in and gauge the acceptance along the way. Bitcoin, ETH, and Ripple are just scapegoats that they can point to if anyone...

Is there something I'm missing when thinking this isn't possible?
Apart from the risk of not being able to diversify your portfolio and bearing the risk of your investments heading south each week how is this not a bad idea?
With the right research and knowledge, say taking the to research a range of stocks that have the possibility of increasing 5% over the next week? It seems possible if you take the time to research each company and have the balls to risk it. It doesnt seem that impossible to find a stock that will rise 5% each given week and sure...

Hard part is getting 5% compounded weekly every week for two years

Then do it faggot. We'll all be worshipping you as a financial god, and you'll be the wealthiest man in the world.
(Or you'll inevitably fail, lose money, and stay a NEET poorfag. One of these alternative is quite likely.)
If you started at 20 years old, by 40 years old you could own
$1,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
So why not?
Is a law degree worth it:
>in general?
>if you go to a recognized/top 25 university?
>if you go to an Ivy/top 10 university?
If it's not useful, will it ever be again?
Easy way to answer that question.
>Did you do high school or college debate?
>Were you good at it?
>Did you use shit tier style methods like speed reading which basically exist to exploit the time limit and dropped argument rules of structured debate but would never persuade a jury in real life?
You will have a pretty fucking good idea if you could thrive in Law if you can answer the above in a satisfactory capacity.

Brother is a lawyer.
I have lots to say but Im going to bed.
Law mostly sucks IMO.
work as a temp in a law office for a few weeks to see if you like it first
Explain to me, managers of /biz/, what do you manage and how?
I see my manager too often in his office, pushing paper, schedules, and emails around. Why should we value you as "Manager" as opposed to just another member with some lead privileges?
Serious question here, no malice involved.
>>1070089
Someone to blame when shiz goes wrong
Source: unhappy manager
>>1070089
Bump. Quit my part time job because I wasn't up to deal with my manager for another half-year.
From what I know about my manager (and other managers I've talked to), they usually started out doing the work they were managing, which is why they are in that position in the first place.
They mostly deal with keeping customers happy, and also vouching for their employees and service. It's not as physically taxing, but it's the dealing with people that gets you.
>>1070089
>another member of our team with lead privileges
Isn't that what a manager is?
I'm 18. How can I make a 1 million dollars before I hit 30?
Start with $1000 and make a 100% return on 10 stock trades

buy some ethereum
>>1069755
even if you pick a good stock it could take years for it to double
How dangerous are CFDs and do you trade them?
Bump. Interested.
I did some CFD's for a bit.
Fees and spread made it kinda shit unless you got a good run. I used massive leverage but cause im poor fag.
I once traded without a stop loss and it just pulled me out of my position when all my cash to cover margin was gone.
Not dangerous if you're careful, but as they say, leverage in finance is like speed to a car, it gets you where you're going quicker, but if you crash its so much more worse.
Its just another financial tool but is removed from the reality of the market as...

I think they're only traded in the UK, mainly because the Stamp Duty Tax renders trading actual equities pointless. They may even be illegal in the US.
>>1070392
Is it true the places that run them aren't regulated the way brokerages are, meaning you can get raped by a bunch of crooks? I think I read that on one of the threads here.

I agree with this guy
I know this article is satire, but could I use these strategies to get rich like Trump?

>>1072433
Didnt even read the article but trump is fucking absurd. If I could get a "small loan" of a million dollars from my dad and then inherit his real estate empire when he dies im pretty sure I could manage to not fuck it up either

Don't be so sure.
Abuse other people's money and get rich yourself? Of course it works, just look at how many would vote for trump.
As long as you can live with destroying others lifes you can go for it.
So I've started working on a personal safety app. There are a lot of bad ones out there but mine has one feature that the others don't have. Recently I found out there is one company doing exactly what I have planned on doing and on top of that they came out of Tech Stars Chicago which is a pretty decent accelerator program that coincidentally has one of my old bosses on their advisory board.
How do I judge this situation? Is their moderate success proof that I should continue development of my app or does it mean I have no chance? They've secured deals...

What does your app do?
Dont give up
>>1072421
it's an alarm that will alert someone that you're in trouble if you don't disable it. email, text, robo-call. it's the same as lifeline response's time mode (they're the competitor that i just found out about - i think because they focus on b2b primarily).
>>1072429
wat? I don't know, that sounds like it could be pretty annoying to the average consumer. I have to continuously enter my phone and disable it every so often or else my phone calls for help?
Am I missing something here?

is this a good idea?
>>1072339
im you at 19. What would you have done differently? Also bump.
>>1072339
No. Web anything is shit. If you have a genuine interest in that stuff find a decent job inside a company then work your way out.
Its perrenially undervalued, there are low barriers to entry so supply is high, it looks easy, it takes artistic talent or extensive AB testing and in general a company can farm it out to a contractor for sub-minimum wage.

>No. Web anything is shit.

OP you're better of learn C++ or Python.
Every other programming language is oversaturated driving wages down
