Now that a Hildawg victory is all but certain, what would be a wise stock to buy a fuckton of shares of on monday?
>>1604257
Anything.
Markets are going to the moon after Tuesday
>>1604260
If Hildawg wins? So what should I buy on monday or tuesday before the election?
>>1604262
Yes, if she wins.
Inverse volatility EFT's, banking stocks, military contractor stocks, should all do well.
Are there any gamblers or ex-gamblers in this board?
Share stories and experiences here.
I never met an ex-gambler. Just gamblers who are massively in debt, and desperately wanting to make money.
I'm assuming the ones who are good at it don't waste their time on places like this. They're busy gambling.
>>1603867
>being good at gambling
There's just different levels of being bad at it, and then there's fraud and operating a gambling parlor.
>>1603869
>There's just different levels of being bad at it
Lol, I'll have to remember that line. How common are frauds? I imagine if you get caught, you'd be blacklisted quickly in your city of operation. Running a gambling parlor sounds lucrative as fuck. I remember Vice or NatGeo did a documentary about it. Random alleys in nyc had offices that turned into gambling dens at night. They depicted lots of cash being thrown a round. The show also depicted those thieves to show up with guns and rob the place.
>tfw most people are ignorant of the value and purpose of high end gemstones
Let me give you the rundown. From least to most valuable:
Commercial tier
>White diamonds and artificially created diamonds of any color. They can tell that you cooked the latter in a lab and the former only hold their valuation due to market manipulation.
>Semi-precious stones: they're cheap and the market is flooded with them, but their valuation is real.
Private exchange tier
>Lesser Precious stones: not as commonly traded as those below but non-inflated valuation
>Yellow Diamonds = Sapphires
>Blue Diamonds = Emeralds
>Pink Diamonds = Rubies
Rumored to exist but nobody admits to seeing one in person tier
>Green Diamond
>Red Diamond
These, along with precious metals and political power, are what the wealthy actually hoard. Why am I telling you this? You'll probably never be able to afford them or have any actual use for them, but I just think that you should know.

fuck off with your shiny rocks, schomo.
I'm in my first of year of studying Nutrition and Food analysis so I can specialize later on into being a dietitian, sports nutritionist or something with food production (more related to the ingredients/nutrition rather than the process of producing it).
While I do find the program interesting, I'm worried there is little potential for making lots of money with it. I'm interested in entrepreneurship and would like to start my own business somehow and I'm wondering if anyone here is familiar with the field and knows anything about it.
Thanks!
OP again,
I'm also worried that regardless if I work at a company or start my own business the main factor in being successful will be dependent on the sales/marketing rather than the actual food aspect, which is a bit demotivating.
>>1603407
You can start affiliate blog or something, promoting supplements or cooking books.
Not guaranteed to make you rich, but there are people making millions annually from that kind of thing.
Come up with the next meme food/product, like Bulletproof Coffee
(I'm not bashing it, I drink it every morning and am a ketofag, the science actually works, it's not a meme in that sense. It's a meme in that the Bulletproof guy, Dave Asprey is a great fucking marketer and businessman, and of course it's not entirely about helping people...he is making fucktons of money. He puts a lot of stuff out there for free. Twice weekly podcast, other 'biohacking' shit, a nice website/brand/forums and a general overall good reputation...which creates trust and goodwill, so many people then ALSO buy his slightly overpriced MCT oil and super duper utterly retardedly overpriced coffee...except it's not retarded because all the goodwill he creates convinces people to buy it for the high meme price).
Or look at Alex Jones...to fund InfoWars, he's got into the 'neutraceuticals' busniess. I'm not saying he's a conman, I'm sure his supplements are just as effective as other similar products on the market (however effective that is). But he created a niche. He built his reputation on the show, the politics, so he created loyalty/goodwill/trust with that, and now he's got a while other busniess where he stands out. With the word spreading, people actually decide, consciously, to buy whatever neutraceutical from him instead of the countless other generic supplement companies out there.
Jones and Asprey have created great brands/personalities from the loosely related work that they put out there for free, and so are getting customers BIGLY. People are buying their products because of who they are, not because they think that their products are much better than the competition.
You might have to become a famous meme personality somehow, and build a compelling reason for others to buy shit from you instead of anyone else. You'll have to come up with a golden idea and work your arse off for it though. You can tell Asprey and Jones work long days every day.
Got rich I mean.

Supposively there was a tripfag named "pimple" in the rgt threads who is on track to make billions
>>1603038
He was lying, he's just like the rest of us but with a huge enough ego to use a trip
*sigh
What do you define as 'rich'?
Is there room in the Defence industry for small business or is it a closed shop?
>>1606145
there are thousands of defense contracts reserved just for small business.
keep in mind that "small business" usually includes companies making up to $30 million per year though, so you may be competing with some very big companies for very big contracts.
what's that website from that one movie where the government posts all their contracts up and you bid on them?

I have applied to 10 places since August and only 1 was able to do because it was a physical appilcation and they only do in-person. The rest was online and no respone. I just want to earn some money so i stop being a brokefag. Other than that, I don't know what I'm doing wrong and some advice would be helpful for the situation.
>>1605989
You smell like stale milk. everyone knows it even online. You'll probably never get a job
>>1606001
Don't know what that is sonny, don't got anything good to talk about, then piss off
>>1605989
>I have applied to 10 places since August
>since August
>I just want to earn some money
You apparently don't want it bad enough or you would have been putting in AT LEAST 10 applications per week.
For starters get the idea of working at any specific place out of your head. Apply EVERYWHERE.
You sound like a lazy piece of shit that needs to get his priorities straightened out.
If you REALLY wanted it, you would have done a lot more.
I have $5,000 excess from student loans, and I want to put it somewhere reliable where it can grow steadily.
It's currently sitting at a local credit union with really shitty interest rates. I can't remember the specific number but my account makes like $0.82 a quarter. Do you guys have any recommendations for online banks that have better interest rates? Or do you just have any advice what to do with this money in general?
Educate yourself.
>>1605666
>I have $5,000 excess from student loans
Pay down the rest of your loans with that money, please...

Im gonna be in college for the next two years so I would like it to get bigger if possible, but that is what I plan on doing with it in the end.
What's a good resource for learning how to start a business?
Something with actual inforamtion and not the bullshit fluff that most how to books get filled with.
I want to know what point of sale machines to buy, how to wiring them up to my bank account, what security to contract out to for my finances, what armored car I use to transfer my physical cash to the bank, and I want to know where to find the laws I have to obey as far as who I can hire, also I want the scoop on taxes and registering, I want to know that reall good sshit mane you know what I mean.
don't tell me no bullshit now ya heard.
>>1605538
>What's a good resource for learning how to start a business?
working your way up to management in someone else's business.
>>1605538
Almost all of that stuff is unnecessary for someone just starting out.
>>1605542
>you don't need cash registers
>you don't need to get registered with the IRS
>you don't need to move your money to the bank
>you don't need security cameras
>you don't need to know the laws you have to obey when conducting business.
I said no bullshit now yall gonna have to leave now.
What are some hard truths about being successful that people are reluctant to say?
I'm not successful but I suspect that successful people work so many hours that they aren't "well rounded". Even though you get, for example, an investment banking job by being a normie with extracurriculars, they make you work so many hours that you have no life.
>>1605499
The number one trait of successful people is PERSISTENCE. The ability to get back up and try again even when life kicks you ass again and again determines how likely you are to reach your goal.
>>1605499
>successful people work so many hours that they aren't "well rounded".
most people's definition of success doesn't include working long hours.
just sayin. If you're working 80 hours a week you're probably not successful yet. If you spend more than a couple hours a week making money you're probably doing it wrong.
>>1605521
>F500 CEOs are not successful
what a wasted life i'm living!! im a genius damn it. I got nothing to pour my genius into. do you know how good I am? I could be a billionaire. everyone who meets me loves me. I'm gonna go my whole life having nothing to pour my skills into. thats the ultimate torture. anyone been where I've been?
>>1605309
I used to. Then I found something to pour my time into.
Now I think anyone who says they're smart but don't have anything to show for it aren't really that smart. The whole 'smart but lazy' thing is a cancer.
>>1605309
YES. I've just realized my problem lately: I am the "Jack of all trades, master of none".
I'm intelligent and educated, I speak two more languages besides my first language and I'm an INTJ based on multiple personality tests if that says anything to you.
But I was struggling in all fields of my life and now I've realized that what I need is specialization. I'm gonna sit down tonight and write down all of my interests and pick 1 (Ok, max. 5!) and I will be a master of them. I know that it's gonna be hard to choose (since I think there will be more than 50 categories on my paper) but I can't live like that anymore.
>>1605324
Agree and it was killing me in the last 10 years.

Guys, I've shorted the Mexican Peso by $300,000,000 in February on the basis that Trump will win on Tuesday.
I am doing it right?
>>1604946
>america-mexico agreement builds "wall" (metaphor for comprehensive border control)
>mexican based cartels lose their income source
>america-mexico coalition eradicates weakened cartels

you know, trump isn't as dumb or selfish as he looks.
