A lot of Joe Sixpacks read zerohedge and follow their mindset of impending doom very closely. The site has been more popular than ever.
It just dawned that the people who have been reading Zerohedge in anticipation of the next crisis have been wasting their time for the past six years.
Tyler Durden dangles the carrot of crisis before readers, looking for any excuse – however small – for the market to crash. Every time the market drops >1% in a single session the zerohedge crowd is running victory lapses like they all saw it coming.

>Why do people still read Zerohedge?
ZH provides content that a lot of people find humorous and informative. ZH connects with some who are in the edgy side of finance and and whose dark financial thoughts are suppressed until ZH shines light on similar thinking. Also, Finviz runs as many articles from ZH as it does Bloomberg as "news" so a lot of ZH gets "shared".

Oil is bottoming
Housing is at 2007 levels
Fed rate is 0
Employment is back to 1970 participation rate
Federal debt has doubled under Obama
Christmas sales are down 10%
These are real things. Nobody in the government is addressing them. Zerohedge is that outlet.
We average a recession every 8 years, and it's been 7 since the last one and we haven't fixed what was broken from the last one. Doomsday is coming. It's just being put off as long as possible through FED printing....

It appeals to a higher form of degenerate gambler. Commodities trading is the best (and most dangerous drug) I've ever come across.
Buy and sell lots of stocks at great prices.
What "great price" is depends on the institution. There are different performance evaluation methods.

Will the web development market crash soon? Is it a retarded idea to get into web development?
I don't consider the web development market inflated, am I wrong?
>>996303
this.
sure for shitty development, yeah there's thousands of guys all over the world for cheap.
But for a good quality site, with flash and social media, you still need a good dev, and they arent cheap, those guys make good money.
its all about that portfolio.

No it will not crash. I anticipate it will expand for another 3 decades at least
I am NEET in dire need of a shitty entry level position, and soon. No time to get food handlers to McDonalds/etc is out of the question.
I've seen quite a lot of people on /biz/ discussing lying on your resume. Has this ever gone bad for any of y'all? Do you need to do extensive research on the position you lie about for the interview?
Here is my current resume (1/2) any information on resume lying or just general tips to make me more hireable would be extremely appreciated.

I recently got fired from my job as a customer service guy for not showing up to work because I was homeless. I was homless from 15 to 17 years old too so I didn't get a chance to actually gain the qualifications I wanted when I was younger.

I don't like snakes
discussion on bitcoin also how anonymous is bitcoin, can it be traced if I buy questionable items
Well this certainly is a first. Can you explain what you mean by 'bitcoin'?
I have never heard of it being discussed on this board.
This is completely new to me.
>>996072
maybe. But if you were buying questionable items you would use tor anyway so no.
>>996072
Takes effort to be anonymous. Most people want an easy to use Bitcoin which requires your info.

Every board has these 14 year olds. Nobody here is worth more than $100K. Nobody has proven any official account statements. They just edit e-statements in their browser and take a screenshot. You must be new to 4chan.

There are people who paid money for DVDs this past Black Friday. Think about that.

Fuck off. He's starting a commentary on diseases that are long forgotten and bringing them back out in the public eye. He may act like a dick, but shit wouldn't you? Before anyone knew his personality they hated him for his practices. I think he's being a dick ironically tbqh. I would too. And he's bringing attention to neglected parasitic infections/diseases.

K.. KEEP ME POSTED
What would happen if someone happened to take out student loans, finish their degree(or not) and then left the country without paying them back?
Their credit would be shot but would anything else happen if they didn't return? Because I'm not sure why this isn't a more significant problem. Couldn't tons of people theoretically do this with no repercussions?

You mean last week
I work for a temp agency. I have worked there for four years. Part time September-May and full time from the end of May until the the end of August. This year I'm in between studies, so I have been working full time since May. I'll keep working there for some time, if things go my way.
When I work, it's 8 hours a day, and the salary is the same as if I were an actual employee in the business I'm sent to. It ranges between $16,5 and $19,5 per hour, depending on where I'm working.
I tell them every month when I can work, and they always...

either start working for the companies directly, and cut the temp group out of the loop.
OR tell the temp group you are not okay with them taking such a large cut, and arrange it where you get paid more from your labor.
sounds like the temp group is raping you. Their usual cut is 10% to 25% of the wage.
...and they want to offer me an extended stay from mid January until June, which I am inclined to say yes to. The temp agency don't offer any discounts even if temps stay for a long time - the billings are flat.
I'm thinking that my good relationship with customers, low costs and the piles of money I reel in for them should entitle me to a better wage and a few perks. But I'm not entirely sure how to approach it.
There are two ways I think it can be done:
1. approach the agency individually and try my best to get better terms
2. approach...

Also, I should have mentioned that most employees at the temp agency are not aware of the high billings at all, and I'm pretty sure they ask their customers to keep it on the low. One of the other temps told me he was subtly asked to not speak of salary or billings with others.

I make the same amount of money as if I was a permanent employee in the businesses I work. I don't mind them making money on me. They offer a lot of flexibility while also giving me the opportunity to work a lot when I want...

yeh but I feel like I should use my savings allowance but just leave it in cash, then maybe buy into funds in early 2018
I guess maybe dollar cost averaging is the least worst strategy
