what the fuck is knpd? if that is a stock pick and you think that is an attractive point to display to employers, you should be re-evaluating your resume.

if you don't have education in accounting or finance (i was an economics undergrad but a MSF) you are probably going to have a bad time. if you don't have a demanding quantitative educational background you are going to have a bad time. if you have a wife or other demanding social commitments outside of work, you are going to have a bad time.

and by "bad time", I mean it's going to be really tough to finish it (stats say you won't). you would probably learn some things but dude >>1483484 it's likely going to be stressful and a waste of your time to start it

1. Take the CIFC to get licensed to sell mutual funds for a dealer
2. Take the CSC to be able to sell stocks, bonds, futures etc
3. Take steps towards getting your CFP designation

>>1483073

This is the only place where you can come to share daily blog posts. Knowing someone out there is going to have to read it, or better yet reply to it.

Doesn't necessarily mean you don't have any friends, it just means you don't have someone who understands you.

/biz/ is just a more "upscale" version of other boards because we all have one goal that everyone else agrees with.

Money^ >

While other boards are looking for love/friends/info/fap material, we here know that nothing really matters and we should just make the best of what we can.

I look at this board as a place to spout things you would normally say in your head while talking to a friend who's also interested in /biz/ness related things.

Ex: You & a Friend/Coworker

>"Hey so I have this awesome idea of an app that can blah blah blah.."

You (in your head):
>What a dumb ass idea, how the fuck does he expect to get this app going in the first place?
>He's just going to end up like the others
>Look at him with his iPhone 6s, who even needs that?
>I should tell him to quit while ahead and just focus on school/work
>or maybe he could pull it off if he knew that there's a site called Codecademy
>god I'm hungry af desu
>Mmmfff Stacy's wearing those tight jeans again, fu00king slooooOOOT

You really say:
>Wow that sounds great anon! Do you know any programming languages?

You're still telling him that he should take precautions,
but you're not going into details so you won't sound like you're telling him to give up.

Now some people here can't handle the bantz and go apeshit when someone calls them out on it.
Others just come here for their daily (you)s knowing they will get a response
(trust me, even /b/ doesn't get responses when they spot a troll)

then there's the shills, some people just want money so bad they don't care who they hurt.

>Is there a niche market for programmers with financial backgrounds
Not niche, it's necessary and present. Think of all the financial software and in-house projects companies require. And if they're not in-house, then there are companies that specifically exist to provide financial service programming to financial sector businesses. I have two family friends that got into it and do well with financial services programming and IT and shit.

Don't have a response to your question OP but have a question of my own.

I'm a finance grad who took an insurance underwriter job and have been doing it for couple of years. Now I'd like to get back in finance and have plans of moving to Toronto. Idk where to begin ?

>>1482960
I worked in finance for about 3 years before leaving to go into IT. Finance was so fucking boring and not challenging. So far I like what I'm doing

>>1482926
>retired, ? tier

Independent contractor, I do everything Jack of all Trades style, and invest my extra cash. I'm worth about 1.2m at this point.
Pick my own hours, am my own boss, and I can charge whatever the fuck I want.
Literally Über-God tier.

>job: social justice awareness promoter, god-tier
>education: masters in gender studies, women's studies and liberal arts

my dad is a commercial loan officer and he says it's boring af.

basically he looks at the properties and sees if they will have the ability to pay the money back. if he thinks he can he talks to the board and they give him an interest rate and he makes a bid.

>Penny Stocks are gambling
I'm sure no one on this board will argue with that.

>>1482824
if there were how would the sites make any money

>>1482827
Idiots, hopefully

>>1482829
they already make money off idiots

>>1482646
give blowjobs for a million bucks each

>>1482650

Too much competition.

Next.

>>1482652
do whatever you did to get that 100k ten thousand more times?

You need a tobacco license in most countries. How are you going to make a profit if the cigs aren't bootleg or stolen anyway?

>>1482429
Not op, you would obviously make a profit buying at wholesale price and selling for more lol.
I just recently found a connection myself o wholesale price, even for just 1 carton at a time but eh not sure if nazi atf(e) is serious about small timers. Maybe just a fine and up to a year in prison is the worst I think.

>>1482429
OP here like I said its a legit store, its been in business for over a decade. At my city marlboro reds sell for like $6.35+ TAX, I plan on selling them at $5. I could even make deals like 2 packs for $9 and stuff like that.

Less loans

>>1482410
Costs me more to borrow stock.

>>1482410
Government gets fucked. What they will do is keep interest rates so low for so long that the next crash will be devastating when it eventually happens.

>Will you charge commission to make a trade?
Read my lips: No commissions. Ever.
>How will you generate revenue?
Every time a new meme IPO's, we will sell 100% of the shares to the market. These funds will be used pay our team of programmers, make insurance payments, and cover expenses. We will also build interest on deposited funds. We are NOT, nor will we ever ask for donations or run a kickstarter.
>Is this a ponzi scheme?
Not any more than bitcoin is a ponzi scheme. If Coinbase can get SEC approval, so can we. We want this website to be legit, so we want to take the time to get regulated. Every investor should know that the entire meme market is a zero sum game, just like derivative contracts or stocks without dividends. Every time you buy or sell a meme, you are basically placing a bet on a certain outcome and someone else is making the opposite bet. There is no promise of 9000% profits in 1 week or anything like that, you have to out-fox a lot of people in order to make money on this exchange. If you guys have any questions, feel free to ask.

>Every time a new meme IPO's, we will sell 100% of the shares to the market

how are you going to monitor the web for the creations of new memes?
at what point does something become a Meme, and what is it before it reaches Meme-status?
for example, Harambe was a news story for a few days, then there was a few memes containing Harambe, but now Harambe has morphed into its own meme. What would be the tipping point? or is that part of it, some will get listed and then fail to go mainstream?

i think this is a great idea, nice one on making it happen

>>1482374
don't waste you're time on this, if you know how to program , come up with something that people will actually use, that makes their life better.
this is 100% worthless ofc. there is no underlying value in trading memes.

>They took you without seeing if you had insurance first

Needs more details.

I'm part of a medical group through a family member but they only cover anything after I've paid the first $7000.
