does anyone else still keep a penny jar for all their change? I rarely use my card expect for stuff like grocery shopping and big purchases, I still withdraw cash from the ATM for most smaller purchases like lunch and have 3 full jars with coppers & silvers.
why aren't you /penny jar/ anon? do you not want to save for your future?

I only use credit cards with rewards.
Why aren't you getting free stuff, anon?

Try getting pre-approved by any of the major companies. Can't hurt.

Stupid fucking goyim lmao!
>>1385281
good idea OP. everyone on /biz/ should be hoarding headsets, mice, keyboards and montiors. You never know when you need to collect dust. If the world goes into chaos you have something to barter with.
honestly the only reason why you should collect this shit up is if you are going to start your own business

Sell them on ebay or craigslist, dumbass

I'm pretty sure his company expects everything to be returned, even broken things
You're a Free-market Capitalist, right anon?
Of course.
I dont know how anyone without at least a somewhat capitalist mindset makes any money at all.
>>1385192
Subscribing religiously to any kind of ideology is what morons do, you need to cycle between fiscal conservatism and fiscal liberalism in times of economic affluence and crisis.
>>1385207
Economic crisis sorts itself out very quickly in the free market though. Government involvement prolongs it.
It's no coincidence literally every developed nation got this way via capitalism.
Just look at Chile as a fine example.

I'm with one of the top 10 biggest banks in my country and I was very lucky to get a job there some months ago, I guess.
The problem is, it's HR and I hate it. Given the fact that banking as a sector is going down the drain since the crisis, I really, really should be happy right now, because payment is ok. Not great, but considering live expenses here in the city, I'm doing good. (fun fact: There's virtually no bonus.)
This really puzzles me, because everything I heard about HR here on the board is true:
- It is circlejerking, every...

How much cocaine is consumed?
Never encountered this desu. But I know for a fact that this city has one of the highest drug related crime rate (especially in terms of cocaine) in my country.

If you are in different dept then why do you have deal with HR?
What should I do for a living? I'm a Business student, but I don't really have a passion for it. My grandfather was a very successful business dude. Worth a couple million, I don't really know. He has two homes worth a million each, I don't know how rich you have to be to do that. I grew up pretty normal and live a pretty normal life. My parents never even finished college, and don't make a ton of money.
Besides having my school 100% paid for, he doesn't spoil me like he could. He grew up poor, and doesn't really spend money on anything...

So I read in the other thread about shorting, you loan stocks off someone hoping that they'll go down. I get how the financials work of it but what does the owner of the stocks get out of it? why would he want to loan you stocks? maybe an admin fee but what, is there a cost over the months or something that you're doing it as part of the loan? and how do you set it up, just through your broker?
so you loan the stocks and they plummet, why have they got to get them back off you? wouldn't it be better if they just "forgot" about it and not give...

Good thread. Novice at this stuff, but here's my understanding of it.
interest accrues as long you leave the position open.
they can't just forget about it, any more than you could forget to pay them back. you enter into a contractual agreement with them so any breach of this agreement would lead to legal action.
>>1384894
not a prob, everyone starts somewhere
like most things, because the person lending you the stock is getting something out of it - you're paying for borrowing the stock.
generally, the people that are lending the instrument you'll be borrowing are long term holders - actuaries, penson funds, investment trusts, etc. They've got it sat there, accruing, dividends, etc going nowt. You wanna borrow it, sure - 5% please.
and that's about it
no offense, if you're a small...

>the person lending you the stock is getting something out of it
Actually, they're not getting shit.
The brokerage is the one getting paid, the owner of the stock (you, if you hold longs) gets nothing.
Wat does /biz/ think about the Permanent Portfolio?
That's horrible even by biz standards
>>1384883
Try 100% in stocks
>>1384883
Pretty fucking terrible. You should be able to find simulated portfolios that are planned like this - the one I found made a 12% return over 4 years.

Biz, what should I major in, IT or CS? What are the pros and cons of a career in each? I want to make big dick money
>>1384862
No one is making big dick money in either.
If this were 2002 sure, but even if you could get hired you would be lucky to be making 30k starting.
All of IT is being outsources to India because we don't have enough people willing to work for below minimum wage.
Everyone and there mother has a CS degree so unless you have connections your not getting a job at all.
If you just care about money go study petroleum engineering.
>>1384866
Petrol consumption is going to drop over the next fifty years so that sounds like bad advice. There are plenty of decent employment opportunities in both in my county (New Zealand), so fuck you
