I am on the same boat the only difference is that I know my business will actually be profitable but I can generate money and I am unemployed, I need to plot a scheme to relieve some sucker's from their hard earned dollards,I am starting to understand why those demons on wall street end up losing all their morals and even soul

Biz please listen to this when it comes to your "big idea"

Of people who become rich:
>99% will just form a business selling a product or service that already exists
>1% will come up with an entirely new product or service like the Snuggy, Scrubdaddy, UBER, etc...

Ideas are usually a waste of time!

>i live in the south and the same cars go for a lot more money up north.

*Wrong*
From someone who knows this business I know that the opposite is true, the further south you take them the more they appreciate value, if you take them all the way down to Mexico you can sell a clunk for real bucks.

You're dumb and don't even know your own market

are you selling them to a car lot? Do you have a place to live while you sell several used cars?
Just wait until you are done with your car, take a road trip to chicago, spend a week and sell it then take a train home.

>>1793962
i have property that i can store the cars on, so i'm not concerned about having a place to keep them.
it's just not practical trying to drive a dozen or more cars back and forth by myself.

You'd get caught fast. Meet one alumni who matches to when you should've been there and you're ruined. Yes, almost all Alumni are online in their own database. Why would you pretend to have gone somewhere, that's retarded.

Very stupid idea. Once you get the reputation of being from a particular school, other people from that school are likely to seek you out. All it takes is meeting one real Harvard grad to expose you, then you'll be socially ruined.

You opened a brokerage account with 13k a year ago and havent contributed since? See if you can put at least 1k into the account at the end of each month. Also you are pretty heavy on the US tech stocks, try diversifying more, even a total market index would work, even though a lot of that would still go to amzn ms etc.

Also plz tell me this is in a tax advantaged account

>>1793748
still there holmes?

>>1793947

I'm well diversified, thanks. US tech is ~ 25% of my portfolio, which I'm comfortable with. US is around 60%, MS
is morgan stanley, not Microsoft. I have 15% Europe, and 20% EM exposure as well. This is not far from weights of MSCI all country index. Index Investing is good if your aim is wealth protection. I have little interest in it at the moment as my target is more aggressive and is riskier, and any kind of index investing is pretty stupid actually in this situation.

I was asking about options trading, and if anyone has targeted such aggressive returns as doubling wealth in 6 months.

This is not tax advantaged, and i will pay 25% tax on capital gains, there is no way out of it.

Seems like Thai to me.

Sick dicc for Bitcoin. Hodl it until $10000 per coin. Profit.

Max out your roth and 401 every year.

You have a reasonable income, so don't invest for cash flow, you don't need it. Invest for equity growth

Rental property had been good for me

>>1793818
I am looking at potentially buying a very lucrative property from a family member for around 150,000 would it be worth it to take out a loan as a >25 y/o individual and take out a loan and buy it to rent out? It'd be rental ready, and the house passively makes at least 5k a year from people parking on the lawn for events

>>1793823
You think renters will like having cars parked on their lawn?

you will be making crop seeds that produce infertile crops with superior yield and resistance.

you will only touch a mammal when you feed it to some mice.

You should try /sci/ before thinking about making money. Genetic engineering is not that simple and you can't just "give yourself viper eyes". That's not how it works, and investing in things without even knowing how it works is extremely dangerous.

There was a thread about biotechnology, and the general consensus is that we won't have organic slaves because you have to grow them during years, feed them, train them (think about dogs) to do basic shit. A robot is way more simple to build and can be programmed at will : once you have the required configurations for your task, you can copy the program on thousands of robots. You can't do that with organic beings.

start a search engine

There are hundreds of seo tools and search engines that do that.

They just have bots that crawl the web and save every link.

>start a search engine

How can an individual use search engine and deal with big data from the wide web forum?
Can you explain little bit more specificly?

Bump. Anyone?

Pay per impression is usually less profitable than per click. And I dont think adsense offers it.

And depending on your niche, your audience location, your ad placement and so on you can earn anything from 0 to 30 dollars per 1000 views. But I guess for a good site it can be 8 dollars.

A regular site probably has 1% or 2% clicking, so you have 15 clicks. Each click worth 20 cents for example. Then you have 3 dollars.

>>1793588
Really? I thought pay per impression would be way better. I can't see anyone clicking on ads, even 1% seems too high lol

can and does happen

dont sell high value items until you're established so ebay plays well with you when you need them to. in 5 years I've only been successfully scammed twice.

ebay has stepped in and taken care of me multiple times over the years, despite the crybabies you hear saying otherwise all the time.

I assume the more active / "verified to be a good seller" you are, the more they take care of you.

Shipping insurance + signature confirmation is enough protection to save you from most possible issues. They can't claim they didn't get the item (signature) and if they say its damaged you can point them at insurance and insist they need to open claims - then if they demand to refund and pull a switch *you* should be able to open insurance for your now broken item (since it *MUST* have been damaged to shipping since this buyers being honest wink wink). Not sure but i'd imagine if you had those two things ebay will also stand up for you at that point as well

besides that you can take lots of alt precautions when selling high end items (video of item and its functionality/condition, video of packaging / handing off to post man, security labels, etc)

if the items valuable enough to warrant those types of things then you should do them every time

beyond that, a good tactic i learned from a fellow ebayer some time back and have since used successfully:

"I'm sorry to hear your purchase has been stolen/damaged, we will gladly take the item back to resolve the issue immidiately for you. Please package the item and send it to us exactly as it is now, we will need to ship it to our damage loss and fraud center to open investigation as to what happened in order to determin the origin of the issue and take legal action against parties involved if necessary, as mail fraud is a federal offense. Insert more formal blah blah here"

scammer was originally raising hell immediately, never heard from him again after that response

>>1793440

only accept wire transfer

meet in person, sell locally

PayPal usually sides with the buyer just avoid that

>>1793517
>PayPal usually sides with the buyer just avoid that

this is a common misconception for ebay/pp

correct statement:
ebay/paypal usually agrees to let the buyer get a refund and return the item in question

if you add tracking then the only alternative option a scammer has is to do a switcharoo or send emptybox/brick, recording opening of the package + making sure when you sell it you have defining characteristics pointed out in pictures to have an argument if a switcharoo is pulled

Rule of thumb: Do not buy an item unless you can sell it for 3x what you paid for it.

Example: Item sells for $15, do not pay more than $5

This rule applies for items which can be send first class. Heavier items require a better cost:sale price ratio as shipping items Priority is much more expensive.

first off this is a retarded question you should be able to figure out on your own since its based on your own habits, goals, comforts, and capabilities.

this is a bad rule to follow for startups, small, and even medium operations

typically I'm willing to buy in to anything yielding 10% return if its under 100usd

there is no real, hard cap or rule for investment allowance based on value. It's more about "do I have enough open bankroll to work with?" and "how fast can I move it" (single items) or "How long until I break even" (qty items) that makes me decide what I'm willing to put in.

If I have 1k that I'm okay with tying up (no other inventory options or uses for it at the moment) I'll happily buy something thatll turn a 100 dollar profit in a month, or if I will break even when I sell a small portion of them then I'm all game

I'm willing to spend 10 bucks for a 50 cent profit if the workload is nothing more than "throw it in a box and print the label" as long as it moves fast

I typically come out with a 50% profit margin or better on the high note, 10% on the low. Sometimes I make a buck, other times I make a few hundred bucks. A few gem transactions have yielded thousands.

I'm not prejudice when it comes to money

Protip: Its easier to make a profit and ship 1 x $100 item than it is to make a profit and ship 10 x $10 items

I'm a dropshipper and deal mainly in clothes. so my statement above means fuck all to me because I can't sell, lets say a hat for $100 but I can sell it a few times at $10... but its something to kind in mind down the line
