I feel like such a fucking pleb when it comes to investing. Like should I even bother? I am just a chef for a university. Not a big timer.
Should I bother investing in anything? People also say investing requires you to already have money to make it any where. Is that true?
>>1673850
Yes, investing is for everyone. your 401k is a type of annuity investment.
Investing is not just day trading, its putting your money in companies you believe in over the long term (20 or more years)
>>1673860
I understand. So what are short term gains from investing? Or is investing long term only.
>>1673881
The faster/larger profits the riskier.
Long term is the way to go my nigga
I am in a bad position. I don't want to get sucked into the whole money power sex debacle but I am sick of feeling caged in my own life.
I crave... power? I don't know. All I know is that where I am at in my life right now is not where I want to be. But money and power can deal so much damage to you if you let it.
How do you not let money change you. I am sick of living like this but is money and power the way to go?
Money is the Mc-mansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after 10 years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries.
This is a meme.
You're using the "I'm gonna get addicted to making money and getting power" meme.
This is an excuse for being lazy and not getting of your ass to become rich.
This meme only happens in movies.
"I'm not gonna do anything now because when I start I won't be able to stop and it will consume me"
Yea right, try getting rich, it ain't that easy bub.
>>1673776
>How do you not let money change you
1. drop some acid and understand that 'you' don't exist in the way you imagine and that 'you' are constantly changing
or
2. be too stupid to understand this and thus never change because stupid people don't learn new things anyways.
either way it's not up to you.
Fuck this and fuck my life. Slaving away 8-9 hours a day for some rich piece of shit is fucking horrible. I'm 21 years old and I see no way out. No matter what I do Ill waste my youth and good years on bullshit.
As a fucking commoner I'll lose my opportunity at the rejuvenation therapies when they reach the market.
Not to mention most jobs I can work are fucking degrading (sucking dick as a cashier to entitled fuck customers who think Im their personal servant).
Are there any satisfying jobs out there at all? Even the high paying jobs just seem like slavery. What kind of life is that?
At the point where I'm literaly considering making myself a cripple so I can get disability money (if thats even a thing) and just live my life playing virtual reality games and closing myself off from the rest of the world.
I dont know what kind of job would make me not want to kill myself.

Are there any metrics or statistics that show employees who have a bar stool or leaning post are more productive and less fatigued?
I'm a supervisor at a factory and these poor people stand for 12 hour shifts always walking with limps or barely lifting their feet because they are so sore.
How do I prove to the plant manager that giving them a stool or leaning post would produce better results? He's old school blue collar with if you're sitting you're lazy and not working mentality. Even though all these people do is push buttons to operate machines.
>>1673661
Change your stance?
"Hey, I have statistics that fuckers who stand on their feet 12 hours a day end up as cripples. Stop being a little bitch or ill round up some employees and we'll start a class action lawsuits filled with complaints about how our feet hurt all the time and our boss was a bitch nigga about it." Usually works for me.
Do they get breaks?
Why don't you just bring in the stools without saying anything to him. And if he asks just say it's a project of yours to see if it increases output

Regarding hiring process/post interview.
When they say, "we will let you know as soon as possible"
Now, i know this is mainly reserved for chose candidate (i imagine he/she finds out the moment interviews are over) and the rest of the bunch with a couple day/week lag.
I had in interview for marketing/pr position on Monday, now is Friday, haven't heard from them yet.
>>1673583
So what is the question?

Did they notify their "perfect" candidate yet?

When I run interviews I interview everyone before I make a decision.
Why does DRYS suck so much and why is everyone who bought it so stupid?
As it just turns out, Economou has now officially committed to "make DryShips great again:
>"We are delighted to announce a series of positive developments for the Company. We appreciate the support shown by our Founder to restore our balance sheet. Following the closing of our successful equity offering and putting the New Revolver in place, we will have total available liquidity of between $119.0 million and 129.0 million that will not only give us comfort to fund operations but also gives us the opportunity to evaluate the possible acquisition of assets at distressed values. We believe that given where we are in the cycle in both the tanker and drybulk markets, we are faced with a unique entry point to acquire vessels in these sectors at historic low prices. Together with the support of our manager TMS and the revised agreements that provide for full scalability, we will make DryShips great again.

How do i bullshit my way to getting a volenteering gig? I froze up on the phone interview because I couldn't give a reason why the company would want me over anyone else.
Also bonus question: How do I get over my social anxiety to get gf and a job?

Talk about your talents and how ambitious you are. There is always someone better. What they want to hear is that you will get along with their weeb personnel, policies, and structure. You still need to know your capabilities though and throw that in there somewhere.
>second question
You need to get off your computer and hang out with people with similar interests. If you want to hang out with people with dissimilar interests, you need to start with those you are comfortable with before you go with people you aren't. It is usually best to have a friend in every group.

Why would a voluntary role need you to pass an interview? You feel like lending a hand, you turn up and contribute to the best of your ability. Turning what ought to be an exercise in goodwill into some dog-eat-dog pressure cooker is bullshit.

Infinite Jest.
So I'm thinking of putting approximately 20%of my portfolio into peer to peer lending.
On the particular site I'm looking at, even the highest rated borrowers will have to pay me 8% (after fees, too). If I diversify my money across various risk levels it seems very likely that I could achieve consistent 10% returns, at least.
I've read up on the usual risks, but was hoping some people on here could redpill me, or give their own experiences with P2P lending.
The default rate might increase if economic conditions get worse. Bonds with similar returns have a really bad credit rating (non-investment grade) for a reason
>>1673071
>The default rate might increase if economic conditions get worse.
True. But can the same not be said for companies within an index fund? Obviously a whole company going under is less likely that some loser defaulting on his 15% loan, but the opportunity to spread, say $1000, over 40 different borrowers I feel mitigates this to a pretty considerable degree.
>Bonds with similar returns have a really bad credit rating (non-investment grade) for a reason
But is it really fair to compare personal loans to bonds? Bonds are inherently very low risk low reward. The website publishes default rates, and an A1 rated borrower (9.99% before fees) has a default rate of 0.08%. I don't think you could find a 10% bond with a rate anywhere near that low.
Why jump in at 20%? Why not start at 5% and see how it goes?
