I'm an 18 year old in my first year of college as a Finance major. I've always been incredibly interested in stocks and want to know how to learn more. What books/documentaries/programs do you guys recommend to help me learn the ropes of trading? Vocabulary and just the way of things. Thanks guys.

Who's to say you don't suck at maths or handling money in general? At least wait until you've passed your first year before you start shovelling money into your area of expertise.

I'm not necessarily trying to invest currently. I just want to learn about it and maybe do some simulations.

Would you not suffer due to its crash?
How would you go about betting on Americas loss.
Why not their loss be my gain?
It's not falling, it fell. Chill the fuck out
Today I decided to wait things out and lost about 20k €
Will I regret this? What do you guys think
Amazon, Tesla, Commerzbank, Facebook, Porsche, China Ming Yang, Vale, Grammer & Kandi in my portfolio
Also, timestamp for good measure
I was about to go 100% cash and clear all positions in order to enter the market later on but sometimes I am a lazy fuck

Never read it.
Just want to say trump is really good at word play to convince people.
80% of his words are one syllable, less complex, comes across as smooth and not unnecessarily elitist
He always ends his sentences on a key word, even if it means the way he starts his sentence is a little bit weird e.g problem, disaster, solution, wall,
He doesn't prepare speeches at his rallies, so that way he seems natural and honest because it wasn't spewed out by an assistant
He also shows great amounts of ruthlessness so that way others fear him and give in.
He is really a smart guy, he may come across as stupid initially, but, if we look deeper we can see that he is doing everything intentionally.
He also takes the most exteme position without breaking a law, so that way he can remain in the news cycle 24/7 getting free publicity

I recently became a stay at home mom. Is there any real money to be made in blogging and where do I begin? I have a blog that now has 5 posts and some Amazon affiliate links but it isn't fancy. I do not want to invest money in it before I know it can make money.
You will never make decent money doing that.

How attractive are you and are you camera shy?

You are better off by doing porn, like webcam shows.
With that you'll be able to make some decent money.

You little shitbirds with your fucking man-bobs and your goddam tribal tattoos and your fucking beercans in your earlobes need to listen up. Stop having your genitalia pierced for a minute and knock off sending nude snapchats to other fuckheads sporting duckfaces too.
I'm going to predict your fucking future:
1. You're young and invincible. No one gives a shit if you're living in your parents basement jacking it to brony porn or if you're a fucking hedge fund trader who doesn't know the difference between discount and mark-up.
Apply yourself and you'll make some money in life.
2. You will make money until you are about 50-ish and then some dick who was conceived in the dumpster behind some Nobu somewhere -- and is now managing your work -- will decide that the company is "going a different direction" and your high priced services won't be needed. Here's 2 weeks pay. At that time you are fucked.
As you grow older, your business contacts slowly leave the playing field and you become dependent on referrals from people the age of your children. You won't find a job. It's over.
But.......when you were working you lived on 50% of your income, partied with the 20% and BANKED 30%. You will have done this for 20 plus years and you had the dividends re-invested. When the shit breather lays you off on that fateful day, you notify the online broker to start sending you the monthly/quarterly dividends. You'll have that, your IRA, your investment properties and you can sit back and still try to get a job but don't count on it.
TL;DR? Put 30% of your take home into various investments for 20 or 30 years and you'll never have to worry about being 52 and having to be interviewed by a 28 year old who has never seen the movie "Bullitt" or knows that Paul McCartney was in another band before Wings.

I'd rather play poker with my life and live like an idiot until I'm 35. Then hope to hit the jackpot with some product and be able to live nicely while putting generous amounts aside for retirement at ~70

>On academic probation while in college for EE(Electrical Engineering)
>Haven't even gotten my grade back for this semester but my school is auto sending academic dismissal appeal dates
I could be dismissed or maybe I might be kept on but in both scenarios I still owe them 2000$. Can't sign up for classes and can't transfer to another school (All the schools in my area are in the same system)
>inb4 get a job
Got a seasonal job and just got fired from it. I barely got 150$ from the entire endeavor
Now I am on Indeed sending out applications like a mad man and not getting any replies.
What the fuck do I do?
Along with "entry level" jobs I've also applied for junior EE/paid internship jobs. But most have high requirements. Should I start looking at some IT positions(And which?).
>>1023097
Why are you such a fuckup, OP?
>>1023097
This is probably the worse time to be growing up in such a shit economy. Even to be a mail room clerk they want you to have a 4 year fucking degree.
To clarify I am in my 2nd year and have 47 credits
>>1023099
Its a pretty long story mostly a combination of shitty school advisement and administration
>doing fucking great in school
>Be advised by adviser to take a course to be full time because thats how you get the most financial aid
>Take class and continue on
>Almost a year later see bill for 7000$ on my school portal
>Go to financial aid office to figure out what happened
>They tell me its nothing and I am covered
>Bill goes down to 4000$
>Go back to office and they tell me its being taken cared of
>Stays on there for a long time so go back to office again
>Suddenly they recognize the problem but its a problem in another office completely
>Get the run around
Long story short That class I was advised to take wasn't in my major. The biggest discrepancy was that the school didn't recognize this problem until AFTER the class was completed. Charged me for the class after the fact then never told me about it.
They sent me to 4 different offices a day as they all pointed blame on another. I got the runaround for months. Then they sent me to debt collections which added 500 to that 4000. Which was hell paying off. I basically emptied out my savings for it.
All the running around during finals week, set me up for a D in every class.
>Academic probation
So then I went from being an average student to being a broke student with no financial aid (probation), and the only way to get out of probation is to pass another semester.(This whole thing was a fucking trap, catch 22)
Now I may or may not be getting dismissed from school, still broke, and 2k in the hole with no way out.
I know its cliche to say none of it was my fault, but I was clearly fucked by an administration that in no way tried to help me
Hey /biz/! I am a student musician looking to go professional. Is a degree worth the time/money? If not, how can I start making money off doing covers/standards or originals? Also any networking tips?
First step:
Kill yourself
a degree doesn't really make you any more successful but it will help if you ever want to teach or be on faculty.
I hope you have financial support because paying rent on a musician's income is not really possible in most cities.
are you a pianist? Your best bet is the lounge piano stuff, learn standards, pop tunes, crooner stuff. Polish the arrangements.
>>1023001
Your best bet for not starving is going the way of music education with side gigs.
Is that why you are into /biz/?
>>1022855
There are plenty of wealthy gold diggers though. Think Melania Trump. Think Kim Kardashian. They were raised wealthy, which contributes to their youthful appearance. A lot of world class models have high education. Some women love an older man(with money of course), it doesn't mean they're poor.
>>1022855
No, I just want more power.
I am into /biz/ so I can be like soros or some shit, I could care less about females
I used to be heavily into politics. I was going to join the military, and then go into politics afterward.
But then it dawned on me that the system is shit, moreover i became more nihilistic in my philosophy.
I want to be filthy rich so i can truly say i don't give a fuck, and do what i want when i want.

I had recently read that business majors are amongst a group of majors that study the least out of all majors
As a biology major who actually spent a lot of time studying throughout his undergrad maintaining a 3.85 and is soon applying to dental school I wanted to ask you businesscucks the following:
-How hard is business REALLY? I can imagine from an academic standpoint it must not be that difficult but rather the "difficulty" in making it in business is connections/ability to perform/outside the box thinking/personal drive
-As mentioned above do you guys really not study that much?
-Are the people who major business smart dudes? Ie. GPAs above 3.7 in high school with strong critical thinking skills kids who are doctor/engineer material or mostly C student alpha dumbfucks who think they can get rich (I've noticed a lot of gymbros at the uni major some kind of business so I figured these fucks must have a lot of free time on their hands)
Regarding MBAs I've heard that many MBA schools prefer to accept non business majors as the curriculum has mostly shifted towards teaching analytical skills and some critics argue MBA grads enter real world business situations unprepared, is this true? This leads me to my next series of questions:
-How hard would it be for someone with absolutely zero background in business but good grades get into a top tier MBA school
-How hard is the GMAT REALLY?
-Say I wanted to get an MBA along with my DDS. How hard is Bschool? Difficult because of the content of the curricula or because of a 9-5 daily class schedule since most kids are used to picking their schedules and course load in their undergrad?
-Would it be difficult for someone without a business background to thrive in Bschool?
Once you get hired what's the working MBA life like? Are you spending most of your day slaving away at a cubicle for a Fortune 500? Is the work truly difficult or just long and arduous?
First time poster here btw, fuck me gently.
>>1021686
> hard
Easy compared to economics or the math side of economics
> study not much
I think most business students at university level work for like 15-20 hours on week average compared to some majors that need to put in 30-40 hours of coursework on average it is pretty low.
> smart dudes
I think you're putting too much emphasis on grades they don't necesarilly mean if someone is smart or not. Then again I'm not from US in my country if you get all 6's (C's) that means you're passing units and doing a great job. Back to your question; no people in business aren't that smart in my opinion people who do tougher degrees often have more intellectual capabilities just judging from the conversations I had.
> how hard to get into mba with different background
Depends if you've done the mathematical prerequisites for the mba, mail with university about it
> gmat
No clue
> doctor of dental science & mba
It's easier to just pick one
> thrive in Bschool
No not really, you just have to read a lot and analyze
> long & tedious jobs
That really depends on yourself and where you're going to work if you're going to work for a boss.
>>1021686
As an undergraduate, we had a saying at my top 20 US university "b-school pre-school". Not only were the classes significantly easier than pretty much every other school within the university, but we studied less and didn't have classes on fridays. A good business school will also facilitate networking and setting students up with jobs.
People who go to business schools can be very smart, but they're usually there because they want to make money.
Biz student here. I pay foreigners to do most my school work and spend my free time either working or learning a new skill. I'm pretty fucking lazy though and probably very ignorant
