play that meme dice thing

Satoshidice or whatever

>>1499180
No gambling please.
I "invested" in Monero, Shadowcash, and Blackcoin(sold all of it already) and made a bunch of beginner/technical mistakes that cost me 0.15 BTC.
I'd like to get them back as a challenge for myself and a learning experience.
I think that they will both go up, and I think I'll just buy $250 of Ether to sell on devcon and maybe hold a half if devcon goes well.
Any advice? Critique?

>>1499199
That's just speculating but more exciting and drawn out, dude

It's the same as using satoshidice

I love Robinhood. The only benefit other brokers offer, from my experience, is they provide research and tools. The only reason I switched to TD Ameritrade was due to the ability to set a trailing stop so I'm not having to constantly reset my stops.

>>1499194
Robinhood is literally shit tier

Use td ameritrade or interactive broker

>>1499198
How so?

Because if they supported large farm-usage vehicles they'd be protractors.

Because contracting is basically its own little world depending on what field you're in, and most contractors hop from job to job in the pursuit of profit.

Also because it sounds really cool.

>>1499129
in the US I think it generally means someone that builds and repairs buildings.

if they do some other type of contracting they'll usually stick that part in there somewhere.

As part of senior level international macroeconomics and finance classes we were seeded with 100k of the business school's actual money and told that we had to play the forex market with it. Here were the rules:

>Be the top two in your class in terms of profit and you make an A
>Profit but fail to be in the top two and you make a C
>Fail to profit and you fail

I was one of the class's two A's. I COULD trade forex professionally, but I would never want the stress of doing it for a living and so I'm in another line of work. BUT the endorphin rush that you get when you when big after the adrenaline rush when you take your position is crazy, and I can see how people get addicted to trading as both a profession and a lifestyle.

I want to do forex trading so fucking bad but I need more vyvanse.

>>1498954
I watched a couple youtube tutorials and started reading this book, Asterisk: The Future of Telephony. Recently started a new job where I will be working with VOIP systems and I know nothing about this, so trying to get a mufuggin education n shit.

Also I went to Home Depot and got potting soil so I could transplant some of my herbs into cute little planters.

got to start somewhere

learn to play PnD and learn to short.. thats how polo pro's make money off retards

>>1498904
It's easy to money on polo. One way I do is go 2% on every coin that is currently approx down 10% to up to 5%. Hold those coins for one week exactly and then sell them all regardless their price change. I usually invest one bitcoin and buy 50 different coins. At the end of the week I'm up usually .1btc to .77 profit. This stragety works becuase the past 6 months the markets have been warming up to the world of altcoins and money is constantly been flowing in from btc marketca and you rarely see coins drop 40% but you see coins rise 100+ often.

>>1498961

This is pretty interesting. When you mention down 10% or up 5% do you mean from their previous day's price point?

>>1498901
I love you op

This needs to be a new /biz/ meme. I fucking love it

you'd need a pretty decent amount of views to do it full time, perhaps 20k+ per video with 2 videos a day

the real money to be made is with paywalls on your personal site and selling tutorials or online seminars with that type of content

>>1498898
I thought about this recently. Professor Messer or Mike Meyers have great businesses running just teaching for certifications. I recently entered the IT field and was thinking of starting a blog as I go for my certs. Would probably be worth it.

>>1498910
>paywalls on your personal site and selling tutorials or online seminars
Udemy and Coursera do shit like that, except they get a percentage of sales because they have the hold of the platforms.

Yeah of course. If you work for a large company there will usually be open positions. Some companies like Macy's actually encourage movement so you can get a good scope of the company and know how other departments operate. I remember interviewing with managers there who had worked like a dozen different positions within the company. What are you doing and what do you want to do? Give us a little to work with...

>>1498903
hi thanks for the reply.

so essentially i have an offer for accounting with a small firm. i'm a graduate so am considering taking it as it's all i have, even though i would prefer finance/IB/asset management or anything more "front office" but i just don't have the experience. i need a foot in the door, so to speak.

so you mentioned macys and how they encourage movement. macy's are a kind of department store, correct? does this apply also to banks/financial service companies too? they promote that kind of thing?

in doing accounting i'll have to do some qualifications (most likely ACCA, maybe CIMA) so i was wondering how that'll play into hopefully moving into finance later. what would be the earliest i can move out and what would be the best way to do so?

>>1498982
From what I've seen, you will have a ton of options if you can stick with your first job for a couple of years. After graduation, expect to settle into your role for 2-3 years. You're not going to have your "dream job" right away; nobody does. Get a little experience, maybe a certification, and then move wither up or out. In finance you can become a senior analyst in ~5 years, then associate, etc.

A lot of finance roles will recruit from accounting majors, in fact they often have the hard skills that finance guys lack. You'd be surprised at how bad some finance majors are- they barely passed their accounting classes and think their job will be Wolf of Wall St II. I've worked with some real idiots who can barely read a balance sheet.

Yes, Macy's is a department store. I would say that this attitude depends totally on the company culture. For instance I worked at a small boutique firm where there really were no other roles apart from analyst- we only had a few sales guys and they were 40 years older than me. It depends on the organization.

My best advice to you would be to take your accounting offer, stick it out for a few years, and build up your resume. Then you have some ammunition (experience, references, certifications) to branch out and move towards something you will really enjoy.

why?

I didn't realize it said TUESDAY, duh.

Anyway I hope Netflix goes over $100 so I can get out. The market is being too irrational.

yeah, yeah, black tuesday, black monday (worse), black whatever.

They're not subhuman. I don't agree with them, but they're people.

They want their day to day anxieties alleviated, and to feel that they're being dealt with respectfully and with consideration. Just like everyone else.

Head over to /pol/ and ask them.
