In this thread we propose business ideas, ventures, and hypothetical scenarios not directly related to securities trading.
Venture: Amazon has just bought out Walmart. You are the CEO of an LLC that has been charged with restructuring and managing Walmarts assets and creating a new business model based on lateral transitioning.
You have a large salary (500k starting, with a 250k raise every year you spend in the black) and get paid large quarterly bonuses based on performance, but if you spend more than 2 years in the red you lose your contract.

Oh come on, this isn't homework, this is something I thought of myself.
I don't have any money and I didn't major in business.

I'm about to get my first mortgage loan, and I'm wondering how much negotiating power I have.
It'll be a fairly small loan of $115k, and I have about ~$130k between retirement, stock, and cash. I could dump it all into equity and have no debt, but I think I'd rather stay more diversified and liquid.
But BoA has been bothering me for a while trying to get me to move my stock from Schwab to Merrill Edge, and it got me thinking, how much can I leverage moving my cash around to get a better interest rate on my loan? Ie, threaten to move all my cash + investments to the bank that offers me the best rate.
Has anyone tried this type of negotiation before?

As a business owner I've found negotiating with business owners/officers is a pretty good way to wind up paying more.
I mean yeah, I'll give you a lower rate to start with but then I'm going to hit you with all kinds of fees to make it up. I'm also not going to tell you any of the ways we could save money on other aspects. And the secret is my first offer isn't really my lowest rate anyways, I save that for people I like. You may get it if you push, but if I don't like you, you can be sure I'm not going to be helping you save money. And I don't like people that threaten to take their business elsewhere.
if you can find a better deal somewhere else, do it. Don't waste my time telling me about it.
>>
>>1516402
Sure, I wouldn't open with a threat. I'm already pre-approved, I'd start by seeing what rates I can get without negotiation and then play them off each other. Then I'd probably go to BoA and ask them to do better than my best offer, with moving my money from Schwab as a carrot.
None of the people I imagine I'd be talking to would have a personal stake in the outcome (unless they get a commission based on the loans?), so I doubt they'd give me a worse deal to spite me if I moved onto the stick, threatening to take all my money to the bank that offered the best rate.
It'd be a bluff anyway, unless I calculated that the amount I'd save over the life of the loan would actually be worth the hassle.

Thanks, but I had the was wrong about this company. If you are really asking me this I will have to work with people I can't work with and because I won't be working here I can speak freely, these people they will just bitch around your company until it crumbles or they will take over the place and you will jump from your office.

>teach them personal finance and responsibility while they're growing up
>at 21, give them ~$300,000 or whatever the equivalent is at the time
>they buy a $100,000-$150,000 house, some 3 year old Toyota Camry jap shitbox for the full depreciated value, and put the last $150,000 or so in the bank/wherever they think is the safest as an all-purpose emergency fund
>get whatever job they want, have full benefits, out of the rat-race at 21 being that they already own a house, car, and have money in the bank, totally free
If your parents did this with you, I guarantee you'd be a totally different person, and a much happier person. Not having to deal with this fucking rat race bullshit of working until you can afford a house or a nice apartment, a car, actually have money in your bank account... it's just such a waste of time. Imagine if your parents were just smart and taught you how to be responsible while you're young, and them just take you out of the whole rat race game at 21. You can spend your life doing what you want to do outside of work and never worry about bullshit like mortgages, loans, any of that fucking bullshit.
I'm 21 but I think I'm going to do this with my kids. I'd have a fucking heart attack out of happiness if my parents did this with me and I'd never let them live down how much I appreciated it, freeing me from this hell. I won't have a house or a car, or $150,000 in the bank until I'm like 30 fucking years old.
So it goes.

I need some help.
I have two videogame stores in my city and I sell games online as well, business is pretty good. I got an invitation to a "business session". Entrepreneurs will gather together to trade contacts, opportunities and etc.
Each business will have a table and I just don't know what I should bring. I thought abut some freesbies, but how the fuck am I going to give a bank president a videogame poster?
Help me out, bros. It's a chance to expand my business.

Ugh I have other problems to worry about other than money, a job, college, a house. Can we skip over those, please? Good let's say I have 1.2 million dollars now. Enough to live for 100 years if I only spend 12k/a year.
I want to kill/handicap just 2 people in my life, the ones who gave me autism, a shit life and made my mother hate me and make me feel like an accident and a retard.
I have... crippling depression and autism. I cannot feel happy even if I am rich.
I'm not just introverted. My mind is goddamn empty and wired like autism. My left hemisphere won't connect properly with the right hemisphere.
If I hear another ignorsnt asshole say "you're just a whiny lazy bitch with no problems" I'm going to kill him. He should try living with autism.
I never enjoyed life since kindergarten. I'm just lying to myself that I'll ever be happy with friends, money, accomplishments.
Other children are born normal and rich with a functioning brain that allows them to easily socialize, storytell, connect with others, organize themselves and overall feel happy and accomplished out of nothing.
Me? I'm lucky if I don't have a heart attack trying to buy groceries or talk to a person without my brain shutting off.

Forget intelligence, imagination, talent. I'm not even average, I'm in the minus. I'm an unhealthy person who is kept alive only by his conscious thought. My subconscious is either not here or not connecting with my conscious properly.
I barely sleep and eat properly and the constant self-stress will eventually give me cancer. I'm growing white hairs at the age of 20, not even from the sideburns, but from the center of the scalp.
I never asked to be born. I wanted a new life since the age of 4. I wanted to be born socially empathic in a house with 3-9 other intellectual friends, living together, playing in the woods, creating games together, becoming accomplished at an early age, having a normal life without meeting shit people and without struggling through everything and losing and becoming mentally insane.
Is that too much to ask?
