Makes sense. I think if I had done that, they would have fucked me even worse.

If it helps I have an email where the guy states he still owes me the $100.

I'd honestly just egg their car and house or something and move on with my life.

I'm not a Keynesian, but here's a good summary: http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2014/09/basics.htm

Take out all of the shitty Austrian memes, for instance here: >>1705947 and get a nonbiased understanding.

In its most simple definition, Keynesian economics believes that it is the job of the state to prevent recessions through fiscal and monetary stimulus, but mostly the former (monetary stimulus is more a characteristic of monetarism- the system championed by Milton Friedman). Keynesians say that the state can afford to do deficit spending and, in a certain manner, it can. Think of the US government's debt a bit like a Trump building project. Trump may have gone bankrupt before in the past, but investors will throw money at his projects because of the Trump name. The same is true, essentially, for US government debt under Keynesian thinking.

Most Austrians will counter Keynesian thinking by saying 'Well if the state has to spend a dollar, then it has to come out of the private sector"- an investor has to buy a bond that he could've spent on something else, or it will have to be taxed, which they also could've spent.

Keynesians would counter by saying, first off, the private sector may not always want to invest. An apartment complex may not be built during a recession because the company building it is unsure of whether there is sufficient demand. If the government builds it, then jobs get created and eventually you get people in the apartment.

Second, on top of this, there is something called the Keynes multiplier. What it says, basically, is that for each dollar the government spends, more money than that is put into the economy. So if the government builds the apartment, then people move in and shops can develop around and you can have consumer spending in those shops. The shops may be built by the private sector as a response to the demand created in the area by people moving to the apartment.

What kind of high-end finance job?

If you're referring to investment banking - mostly miserable. You're well paid but you will be working 6 days a week 7 am until 10 pm every day without being given the time to take leave (unless you really fight for it) until you become more senior.

How much do you think is median salary?

>>1705461
Median salary at bulge bracket investment banks i'd guess is around ~$120-150k. Keep in mind that bankers generally only gain around half of their compensation from their salary and the median all in compensation is probably around 200k.

The starting compensation straight out of college is around 100-130k all-in depending on who you're working for e.g. GS generally pay at a discount to market, BAML typically pays at a premium.

>Do any of you rent? Why would you do that, when buying a home is effectively free because you get all your money back when you sell?

it's free if you are lucky and you can sell well, and had no maintenance costs in the meantime and paid for it out of your own pocket not bought it on loan. if if if...

>>1705158
You're ignoring-
property taxes
maintenance and repairs
possible depreciation due to many factors
natural or man-made disasters
the ability to move on short notice for say a job opportunity

There are lots of reasons to buy or rent, it's not as black and white as you make it.

>>1705158

I'm also interested since I could have earned money with an old blog. I'm now interested into making a new one that will be a gold mine but I am still unsure about it

>>1704456

I've been meaning to start one soon so I'll just throw a couple of pointers that I've written down from people who have been running a successful blog for a while. First off, quality > quantity. No set amount of posts is going to make you any cash if you're writing uninformed drivel. You need to write clear, informative, educated articles but still not bore your readers by swarming them with facts and numbers. Preferably, write about stuff you're knowledgeable and confident about so you spare yourself the hours upon hours of research you'll need to do.
Find your own niche; writing about video games and movies might be fun and easy but it's too common, everyone's a game/movie critic nowadays so carving out a name for yourself there could prove very difficult

>>1704456

Yes. I own a blog that gets about ~30k uniques per month. Make about $500-600 USD per month. Have about 30 posts up. Niche is Apple hardware, software and general how-to style tech tips.

When I was working graveyard shift as a security guard at a motel I'd have to clear out rooms that trannies set up to meet johns every night. Trannies are big in the hispanic community I guess. Whatever they make its enough to fund their operations because they were all post op.

>Do they make more than real girls?
doing what? prostitution? no i dont think so

>>1704385
Ewww what's the point? Pre op is better as long as she's passable

of course, it was too gambly but i would have won :(

Iconix Brand Group Inc - NASDQ: ICON

Price: 9.34
Market Cap: 527.78M
P/E: N.A.

Iconix is a brand management company that licenses brands to retailers and manufacturers, mainly in apparel and clothing. Iconix buys the IPs of name brands and earns royalty on the gross sales. This makes it an asset light, cash generative model. It's brands are highly diversified across shoes, male/female wear and internationally.

>why is this a bargain stock?
Net income past 5 years
2011 - 126.11M
2012 - 109.41M
2013 - 128.05M
2014 - 103.72M
2015 - (189.3M)

In 2015 Iconix recorded a massive negative income of 189 million. Iconix dropped from $15 to $7 and rose back to $9 now. But if you dig up the financial statement, the loss did not actually happen. What happened was it took a massive $400M write off of its assets (brand names) which is deducted from the income. That year it actually earned a record $211M. The market eventually slowly got hold of this but right now it's trading at an incredible P/E of ~5 average earnings of past five years and 2.5 for last 12 months.

>Where is the margin of safety?
Iconix has a steady earnings record of ~110M. It's management has proven competent, generating ROI of ~10% and ROE of ~20%. It's also trading at an extremely low multiplier mentioned above. This combined with its business model of royalties providing a steady income that isn't affected by business shocks and ~60% margins, means the income could decline by 60% before trading at the low P/E of 10, which is low compared to the S&P trading at P/E 24.

Another riskier margin of safety is the book value. It is current trading at 0.73 P/BV. However, this is 80% intangible assets of estimated value of IPs. If the underlying business of brands does go under, the assets will be worth nothing too. However, this is unlikely to happen given the diversification of brands. And people will always need new clothes and shoes.

>tl;dr
Panic sold induced low p/e stock.

/sfig/ is a bunch of speculators trying to predict market movements. /vig/ is for investors going long on good fundementals at low prices.

Although shorts, hedging, distressed bonds and arbritrage are welcome if combined with intelligent analysis.
