I'm 30 and I still have no real optimism that Ill ever have real success that would be happy or what the hell my real passion is. I feel like even if I found a job I'm just always going to be in miserable situations. Hell I even jot a job finally a couple months back but then they laid me off after only working one day because of budgets so they basically changed their mind about hiring people. I get constantly pushed around and then told I'm being picky when I don't want abusive 12 hour / night shift jobs. I have mental issues at times so that doesn't help either when trying to deal with people.

Nah it aint like I'm suicidal or anything. Just want to know from people who's probably been really late bloomers in this regard like me how they finally reached it. Just to know that it really isn't too late for me.
Happiness is all about perspective. I know that sounds hippy-dippie, but it's completely true. There's no such thing as a "fun" job. Everything eventually becomes monotonous and boring. What makes people happy is either money, travel, or supporting their family.
Can someone explain what a derivative is?
>>1471271
Basically anything based on the performance of another asset. A short for a stock is one example of a derivative.
Also use google you tool

--FAQs for Robinhood--
Visit the website first - www.robinhood.com
If you're not into robinhood - http://www.stockbrokers.com/offers
> How is it free?
They invest your unsettled funds after a trade.
It's also pretty basic software.
> When is it coming to my country?
Probably never. They only have plans on an Australian beta ( https://robinhood.com/au/).
> It's been X days, why isn't my account isn't verified yet?
If it takes more than 3 days, try emailing their support. They are very good.
> Is this the right place to pump and dump and/or shill a worthless stock?
You have found the right image board ;)
> I hit sell when the stock was X.XX, but it actually sold at a lower price, am I being jewed?
No, that would actually be illegal. Robinhood graphs are just shit and only show you an average, not-really-realtime price. To get Bid/Ask prices and important things like candlestick graphs, you should use a more robust platform.
> Where can I get better charting or bid/ask?
thinkorswim is bretty gud if you want to go open a second account with real broker.
Otherwise you should be using stockcharts.com, finviz, Yahoo/Google finance, or even Stocktwits for your graphing in addition to Robinhood.

Hi /biz/ In order to get into this course in college I need to write an essay on a recent piece of news on Economics. I was thinking Brexit but that may be too obvious.
Thanks for anyhelp.

Deutsche Bank's collapse.
The white-hot crisis in Italian Banking.
The European Commission's ruling that Apple will have to pay €13bn in back taxes to the Irish government - something the Irish government denies. Ireland relies on being able to grant foreign multinationals favourable tax deals in order to encourage foreign investment in an otherwise tiny and moribund economy. What effect will this have on Ireland? Will the other multinationals there begin to look perhaps to a post-Brexit Britain, where corporation tax is likely to go down?

Thanks dude this is really helpful
Redpill me on cocaine usage in business, /biz/.
How widely is it used by executives, investment bankers, accountants, brokers, and other wall street jerk-offs?
Is it just a meme?
Is it necessary?

Movie BS aside, it's comparable to other drug use by any other slice of the population.
Drug usage and addiction is almost the norm in the US at the moment.
That said, anyone who actually makes it isn't doing drugs: the two are kind of mutually exclusive.
i prefer meth.. longer duration hits.. similar effects to coke.

This isn't the 80s bro. Stop watching so many movies.
did i win at crypto, /biz/?

if thats legit, all i can say is, you did very well anon. Puts my $6000 XMR profits to shame

Anyone know the what the next meme coin will be? Don't say Ethereum or Trumpcoin please.
You've done it Anon. Your relatively successful company has gone public, and your net worth is now through the roof. The stock started trading at $2 and closed at $9, making you an official billionaire!
Now what?
>can't liquidate huge amounts of stock for money while the stock is still pumped high (from first-day hype)
>even if you do it later it'd have to be a pretty insignificant amount of money. Better pray media doesn't catch this.
Worst case scenario you have 95% of your newfound net worth tied up in equity, and some bad news regarding your company spreads. Just like what happened to that Theranos CEO, your net worth is now zero (not literally, but zero in the sense that Forbes no longer cares enough about you to calculate your new net worth).
You can't diversify your net worth too much for fear of people losing confidence. What then, do you do?
>>1472786
Honestly just continue what you were doing to make it succesful enough to have such a good IPO. Start gradually selling your stock and removing yourself from the business, eventually pursue other interests and step down to an advisory role on the board.
>>1472831
Pretty much exactly this.
There was a scene in "the gambler" where john goodman tells mark whalburg to get i little middleclass lifestyle and bank a large portion so that you can live your life from a position of fuck you.
Dont care im my company is headed to the moon, we reach a 2 or 3 mill buyout im the fuck out. Take a 2 week vacation, come back, get a day job, and start investing my money until such a point my real estate or couple other businesses take off and i am confident ibhave asserted myself in a fuck you position.
Then descide if i want to retire at like 40, or get rich af.
Probably just have a small office and work 2 days a week checking in on things and stay semi retired until there is oretty much fuck all for me to do besides choose who gets a trust fund.
0 kids.
Large family tho.
Likely set a small anual payout for us poorfags to get a small boat or car and set up large college funds for the kids with a grade point average requirement.
Dunno. Still got like 15 years till the neices and nephews are out of school.
Meh,
Standard normie shit i guess.
I would have a scrap yard though. Even if it ran at a loss.
I like to tinker...
So /biz/ let's talk about high paying jobs that don't require long schooling training (no management, doctors,..)
There are the memes like alska fisherman and oil rig worker
is there anything similar?
how easy is it to get a job as fisherman/oil rig worker?
all the websites seem like scam
>So /biz/ let's talk about the fact that I have no training and want a job that pays well
Yeah, no. It ain't that easy. Fishermen and oil rig work requires physical strength and skill. I mean, you can train on the job (nobody studies to be an oil rig worker) but your application needs to stand out before anyone even talks to you.
I know several people working at an oil rig. They're all 6'2+ and look strong. Most of them have a beard too. If you run an oil rig you hire a certain kind of person, not just anyone.
>>1472763
What skills do they have besides looking strong?
>>1472767
You have to usually have a background in something. Car mechanic, plumber, electrician... the thing is, employers don't take risks and hire people with a blank resume. As long as you've done something, even gardening or something, that already takes some uncertainty away.
I've got no manufacturing knowledge but I want a prototype made locally. It's a pretty simple mild steel "deep drawn" (I think) kitchen item.
How do I make this happen? Who do I need to approach who can exact plans for a mold/die/whatever and actually make it?
Pic mildly related
just go to a machine shop.. just give them the specs of your item, negotiate prices and they will CNC or fabricate it for you
Or google "custom metal fabrication." This stuff isn't that hard.

Will my own layman's 2d back-of-envelope technical drawing be ok?
