I'm applying to 8-15 universities. I have Aspergers and will be using this as a primary point on my applications. My scores are 1590/2400 SAT and a 2.6-3.0 GPA.
A big important point to why I'm doing this at all: My grandmother has agreed to pay for my entire university education as long as the school isn't total garbage, and I want to go for physics, computer science, engineering, math.. I haven't narrowed it down yet but I will be able to once I'm there.
I've made a bullshit list so far but I need to get this show on the road ASAP as the fall semester starts in about two months and my mother is kicking me out of my childhood home if I don't get into anywhere.
>Arizona State University (decent programs and not impossible to be accepted to, extremely hot though)
>University of Pittsburgh (I live about 30 minutes away)
>San Jose State University (because mechanical engineers and electrical engineers from SJSU are the largest group that work at Tesla, which seems like it would be cool to work at, and desu it's really easy to get into here and i almost consider it a safety)
>Purdue University (well known for engineering but not as hard to get into as Georgia Tech)
>University of Washington (Seattle seems nice)
>University of Minnesota-Twin Cities (seems to have decent programs)
Feel free to fuck my shit up and tell me what I'm going to do wrong or right. I have one shot at this. I either get into somewhere and go to university debt free or I'm kicked out. Thanks for any help.
am white btw
look into UIUC imo
I applied to Purdue engineering with a 3.7 GPA and 1950/2400 1350/1600 SAT as a latino and didn't get in. I think you're being a bit hopeful with your choices, especially given that you want a STEM degree. For most colleges, it is significantly harder to get into the STEM program than it is for the general program. Try taking the SAT again, your SAT is low. Kill it with your grades senior year, especially first semester. Apply regular decision so the colleges see your first semester grades before deciding. I'm talking straight A+s, man. If you want STEM you have to work for the chance.

>Try taking the SAT again
can't as it's done until the next test in October which will be too late. I'm not in high school.

I met a guy on a street corner during my lunch break a few days ago and he told me his business is doing really well and he's looking new partners. Today we met up in a hotel lobby, and after chatting a while he gave me a copy of Kiyosaki's book "The Business of the 21st Century," and told me to have it read by the time we meet again next Sunday. I googled the book and it's about Multi-level/Network marketing aka pyramid schemes, so I think I might be getting scammed. Should I see this thing out, or tell this guy to fuck off?
>>1348463
working from experience with MLM schemes, they're an absolute scam for nearly anyone who isn't in the first layer or so of recruitment.
they'll tell you you're selling something, travel club memberships, telecommunication/internet plans, weight loss ect. but you're really working in recruitment. more often than not MLM schemes will have a membership fee for "sales representatives/recruiters".
don't get involved, you wouldn't make minimum wage selling whatever bullshit product they're peddling and more often than not the recruitment aspect of it won't make you any money either. the only people who make money in these sorts of schemes are the ones who found it and buy into it at the very start.
>>1348463
mlm are bullshit. run and don't look back.
>>1348486
> more often than not MLM schemes will have a membership fee for "sales representatives/recruiters".
This. What that guy isn't telling you is that you will become a captive customer beholden to the organization once you pay your membership. The organization will encourage you to use your own money to buy product from yourself, thereby, giving money to your upstream (your recruiter, and his recruiter, and his recruiter, etc.
If you really want to make money off a MLM scheme. I recommend you buy a bunch of "how-to-sell" sales books, inspirational books, tapes, CDs, whatever, and sell those at a MLM convention. That's where the money's at.

Family business. Been in it since the eighties. We had 15 cars at one point, and then diversified. We held onto those and I'm fucking enraged... Worse thing is that the public sees the whole industry as two guys (power hungry jews that own around 100 cars each*) as THE whole thing. I'd like to screw them over too. But when they say Ok, fuck cabs, take ubers (I would do it too if I was on the other side) they forget the 90% that are owners who invested in permits for retirement, or have a single cab as a source of income.
It's like if you owned a shop and I got the same goods, sold them next to your shop, didn't pay rent or taxes AND got that shit from china without paying import fees.
All I can do is stand outside and scream REEE UBER GET OUT while the gvt. walks up to them an scorns them on how illegal the whole thing is.
*One of them actually went out on TV and said that Uber was LITERALLY taking the food away from his kids, while dressed in a raggy adidas treksuit to look like a driver. The guy is a millionaire. PR Disaster. They are literally retarded.
Also, funny story. Mayor said he simpatized with the plight of the taxi. He understood what the decreasing prices meant. He went out and got 50 more cabs on the road (electric cause muh enviroment) the next day.
Anyone build algorithmic trading models? I've been playing around with it for about 6 months now -- just learning the basics and enjoying the challenge.
I've been writing mostly in Python (Quantopian) but do know R fairly well.
Any suggestions on books/forums/general strategies that you might recommend?
As I have been mostly focused on stocks, I'd like to know if anyone has built a model to trade cryptocurrencies? Anyone had any luck?
Appreciate any help/advice you can offer to a newbie!
Protip: computerized guessing is still guessing. You're gonna lose.
>>1338029
True. I wouldn't ever risk anything that I couldn't afford to lose. Also would never go live without years of good backtesting + forward paper trading for 1+ year.
Mostly I enjoy the intellectual challenge that it presents.
Hey OP. I'm interested in this as well. I'm actively researching quantitative analysis in order to build a crypto trading bot. I haven't done enough research to be of any help to you but I have some books I've downloaded, though you may have heard about them already.

How do I find them, though, is the real question.
Why does the price of bitcoin decreases on the halving? Isn't it meant to go up since the production of bitcoin gets lower?

Sup, I have 4000$ in my savings account and I can invest it all. I already have an emergency fund of 5000$.
I was completely /biz/ illiterate last month and Ive read a lot about stocks recently, and I wanted to know /biz/ advice about some techniques.
I thought about investing 1,000$ in four different small-cap businesses expecting a very good growth (hopefully kek) in the future, and buying anothers company stocks everytime I reach a thousand in my saving accounts. The maximum I could lose is relatively small while what I can win in return could be very big, if I invest in the right stocks. Is that a good idea ?
I also thought about investing in the stocks with the highest P/E, because it basically means the investors with the most money/experience are investing in these stocks too, for future growth. Would that be a good idea, too ?
Again, I dont know much about stocks so that may sound fucking ridculous, I dont know.
Thanks for you help, and if other noobs have questions dont hesitate to contribute by asking them !

My retirement investments are in index mutual funds / ETFs, but I like to speculate with penny stocks. Does /biz/ have some recommendations?
Pic not related.
Specifically, I am looking for companies that have a clear business model / product, a low market capitalization, and a lot of potential in a 10 year time frame. It needs to be a business that I can understand.
An example of a company I bought in the past was Ocata Therapeutics. When I bought them, they were a stage 1 pharmaceutical company that developed a stem-cell based retinal transplant to cure a couple of forms of macular degeneration. It was highly successful in animal trials. After the stage 1 trials were successful, they were bought out by a private company. I doubled my money, but I was really hoping to hold that one long-term.
Any suggestions?

Can you be greedy and frugal at the same time?
Yes you can.
Example: Jews.
>>1353515
Yes.
Greedy in making money, frugal in spending it.
You just defined Judaism.
What are some businesses you suspect are pulling some Enron shit?
All of them.
The people who ran Enron were stupid and got caught doing what I'm sure are standard business practices (extorting incompetent governments, reporting selloffs as regular profits)
>>1353421
Exactly, this is one of many reasons libertarians loathe corporations.
>>1353457
I thought libertarians loved corporations and hated the government? With libertatian ideology every company would be an Enron. Legally.
I'm not so sure that the fed controlling money supply and rates is a good thing. Rates are super low and still the stock market is falling. What should change?
