Are you obsessed with success?
You see, personal success comes in many different forms and your concept of being a success might not be the same as mine. If you want to be successful in your life, then the very first thing you should do is to take the time to decide exactly what “success” means to you. Never mind what it means to anyone else, what does it mean to you?
To some people the epitome of being a success is earning a lot of money. In fact society seems to base the whole concept of success primarily by how much money a person earns. But society’s definition has more to do with flash than it does with substance. Many so-called successful people are very unhappy in their personal life. So, we need to ask…
What does success mean to you?
Get clear on what success means to you!

I'm obsessed with closing $100k or larger contracts.
it's like cocaine, except it lasts longer.
that feeling you get every time you increase your net worth by a hundred thousand or more. The feeling when you can honestly say you're a multimillionaire and can buy whatever you want within reason.
success is just a feeling. Doesn't matter if other people know you feel it. You know.

Have any of you relocated for work?
I recently accepted a job 2 hours from home and will be moving to the area (Philly). My job starts in about 2 weeks. I don't know the area well and I'm thinking of just getting an Airbnb or a temporary room for a couple of weeks while I look around and find something permanent. Anyone have some advice on relocating?

Lot of landlords are going to demand to see proof of employment, so be prepared to show them paychecks, and the job offer. Not as big of a deal because you're only going ~100 miles, but you still should tell them some details
The more upfront you are, the happier they will be to work with you.
>>1569093
>Philly
>Don't know the area well
Don't get shot.
>>1569181
>Don't get shot.
Yeah lol if I can make it through my first year here without being stabbed I will consider it a success.
>>1569171
I've been bringing my offer letter with me as well as my bank statement to show to landlords. I'm up front, just say that I'm starting a new job soon and I have savings, hasn't been an issue so far.
How pissed would you be if the feds shut down bitcoin & kept all the assets?
They could never do that.
>>1569092
But they could though...
>>1569094
how do you think they will pull that off?
How long does it take to learn how to be a quant?
>>1569082
College, graduate school, many hours on your own learning to code and learning to backtest, internships, etc
source: trade full time, couple of intern quants in the office
>>1569084
What do you mean by Graduate school?
There's a huge difference between a one year MSc and a four year MSc + PhD.

Depends on how badly you want the job, how good you are and what programs you can get into. Honestly it's pretty fucking annoying when you guys post on here wanting an exact, cut-and-paste path to getting a job. Everyone does it differently. Some guys have never set foot in a college but make millions trading. Some guys have been in academia their whole careers, afraid to test their skills in the real world. Firms will recruit PhDs and they'll recruit from undergrad. Depends on every person's unique situation.
What percentage of your investments are in emerging markets, /biz?
>>1568927
Is weed an emerging market? kek
But if you speak about countries, not enough. I need to invest in Eastern Poland.
>>1568927
90%
VR, AR, AI, consumer robotics, advanced materials, alternative energy, alternative computing, etc.
>>1568927
15% or so.
It's quite a lot, but I'm young and expect them to grow faster than the rest, mostly on account of their rapidly growing populations and vast mineral wealth more than anything.
Global multinationals are my main chick doe.
/biz/ - come clean.
Ya'll were right about POT, RIC, 1CR, HUC, Pink pumps.
Now people are saying EXP.
How do you dicks know this?
>>1568796
You really haven't noticed that these are pump ops which get brought to /biz/ as part of the pumping, have you?
>>1568807
I do realize that - but what source are they looking at? What's the original news source?
Like, who first said EXP?
>>1568829
I don't think /biz/ knows. Someone picks up on the hype on crypto forums. Then shills here. The goal is to get as many people as possible parroting the same thing. It's like /biz/ is a pickup pump group if you're lucky.
Is eToro a good online broker to use?
>>1568771
sure
just remember to deposit as much as you are okay losing
They are the worst broker.
Your orders won't hit.
Always be skeptical of any broker offering a bonus - it's because they know they will get you.
Use an ECN broker such as Pepperstone that uses Metatrader.
Source: I started with eToro, and learned the hard way.

Could you elaborate on that?
>21 years old graduated college three months ago.
>have a decent job that pays around 50k before taxes
>finally in a position to start investing
>still living with my parents, planning on moving out next year.
What should I be doing /biz/? My employer doesn't offer 401k matching so I plan on starting a Vanguard account of some sort. But I don't know anything about investing. Also I don't know how long I should be saving before I start looking for a place in the city. My student loan grace period ends in march of next year. Should I start repaying that now? What's the deal with my taxes how should I pay less of them?
Shit was so much simpler when I was poorer.
Start reading. Business magazines, classic literature, biographies, non fiction. If you don't understand investing or geopolitics you may as well still be called a child or woman.
First,you don't move out. Stay with your parents 5 years more minimum. Invest it all in a fund. For example vanguard. Then move out and live off interests and start applying your profession exactly as you were meant to. Investigation or self employment.

Okay so after ignoring you guys about cryptocurriencies for months, I've finally looked into it and done my homework. The open blockchain technology seems amazing, but can we talk about it's implementation problems?
First of all, do those who run/own the servers have the potential to disrupt the network? What about these mining pools who are quickly consolidating power? If huge companies own the servers and transaction power, this gives them leverage over this "decentralized" system. I hear other problems such as unsustainable power use, etc. I'd like your hear your thoughts.
>>1568561
First of all, do those who run/own the servers have the potential to disrupt the network?
every time someone makes an exchange, it goes to a block, a block is a group of every transaction made. miners will atempt to solve a logical problem, and while doing so they complete the transactions, and if they are lucky they get new coins as profit. when the block is mined they brodcast the solution to every server on the blockchain and its added to a huge file that is the same everywhere. so one server/mining pool/single miner cant disrupt this process. the only way to do so is if every single file in the world had been changed exacly the same way at the same time, and even so i belive the math behind it would nulify the transaction. About power, there are new technologies like the ones used in brust coin that uses HDD instead of GPUS. i dont know the math on what will happen when all the bitcoins are mined, this is an unfinished experiment, i think that depending of the price of the bitcoin when the mining has ended the price of the transaction fees can worth more than the cost spent on eleticity. Case thats not true, i dont know what will happen with the bitcoin, that could end or delay the system of transfer validation alot.
just buy 1credit on poloniex. you will make bare p's
What are the Pros and Cons of credit card fraud as a business?
Is it worth pursuing? It seems much higher profit margins than 8% from index funds or speculating on cryptostocks.
No downsides

Opened up an account here because some anon told me it was safer to just invest here then anywhere else. I don't know what the fuck I'm doing. I want to play it safe so what do I buy and how? Vanguard ETFs? Is there a stupid idiot guide on how to Vanguard in general?
>>1568427
you'd be better off doing a 3x bond etf.

Why would you give a cat xanax?
And in human dosages... surely that would kill it
Put it in mutual funds, etfs etc that pay a decent dividend, and live off the interest and dividend payments. At just 5% (which is a very average return), you will make $35,700 per year before tax.
