As you may know, you can make money in stocks by dividends or by growth of the stock price. Companies either plow back their profits so they can grow more or pay out dividends to their shareholders to reward them for investing in the company. So they have to make a choice whether to please their shareholders or grow more. Some big companies decided they are giving their shareholders value by growing as fast as they possibly can by not paying dividends and thus plow all their money into their own companies for investments...

e.g. Google never paid a cent of dividend

I would rather a share go up by 10 cents than get a 5c dividend

And I'd rather get a 15c dividend than have the company grow by 5c.

Do you realize how arbitrary that thinking is?

>ML
ML?

I was considering doing a PhD at Monash with their stochastic processes department. Would you count that under stats? Or do you mean applied statistics?

I got fired from my last job (casual employment so they just didn't message me for more work again) because I didn't snitch on some guy that was talking shit about the bosses brother.

greentext what you did so we can get a grasp of how badly you fucked up. it could be anywhere between actual sabotage or a little slip, which would change the answer

>be me
>handle orders for multiple retailers in the textile industry
>received multiple emails with vague references to orders
>forget to process a bunch because they got automatically forwarded to my spam folder (fucking hotmail accounts in 2016)

this all happened a month ago

i forgot to process 4 large fucking shipments and those clients are all ripshit since our company is an intermediary that finds them the best price

essentially the commission on these orders is ~$35k which we lost for no reason than I forgot to check my spam folders.

this isnt the first time its happened but its the first time something of this size slipped through the cracks.

RV's depreciate really fast. They can also be tough to get rid of. If you want to buy one, you better be thinking of how long you are going to hold on to it and how long it will serve your purpose. As for price, look up a bluebook equivalent and make an offer. When you're negotiating never accept the first counter/offer and never reveal the your bottom line. Which means never reveal how much you would pay for it.

Is there a reason you want to be in a park? You would save a lot more by boondocking for free in a more mobile RV or van.

That's...interesting?

As I thought about how wise it was to post a question like that to 4chan, it sounded more and more like the plot of a bad sitcom. I'm still interested in the economic effect but now there's the question of how unhinged the 'comics r cereal bizness' crowd might get.

Lawyer the fuck up, hire an accountant to setup a business structure so you don't retain liability, and start experimenting. Keep me updated, OP. Got any thoughts? Just fucken do it mate. You have a disruptive business model right here.

It's just I have no idea how to start or would go about "advertising" them online. As far as I know, the company that owns epipen has an extreme monopoly and will probably smash me to bits if I so much as try to save lives and wallets.

I guess finding a lawyer would be the best first course of action though. I'm
Sure there's plenty that are versed exclusively medical and medication

>>1462684
you'll need a medicines manufacturing license, qualified staff, proper premises and equipment, procedures for standardising and ensuring quality.

a lot of the hard stuff is already done for you as you'll only be assembling the product and not producing the drug. so the major concern for you would be the cost of the above and the registration fees.

also epipens are intended for the public what you're intending to produce are prefilled syringes which wouldn't be practical in emergencies in a public setting and hospitals wouldn't purchase something they can do themselves.

if there was a market for this i would imagine one of the many generic drug produces would be doing this already. i assume they only produce the bottle stuff because most medical staff would just fill their own syringes.

do your own homework you fucking undergrad pleb

>>1462620
Do your own homework. But:

New(-ish) careers:
- EV car engineers
- High-frequency traders/programmers
- Phone app developers
- Drone engineers
- E-discovery specialists

Future careers:
More or less impossible to say because you'd have to know where the markets are going and what inventions may come to light.

Literally every company that emitts stocks has a "investor" section on their website where they have an in detail report about finances and also what their goals and investmens are.

>>1462604
Shit well can you give me an example. Sorry I jsut never saw it

>>1462617
Just typ "Comany name investor" and the first hit on google will be their investor page.

Example:
http://www.gm.com/investors/index.html

There you just look for the pdf that contains the information you need.
like

It tells me on page 14 they don't care about taxi anymore, they are planing a lease/rent network in the future and their partner is lyft.

Of course some of these are bullshit bingo but for example when I read the Atari summary I knew they have no fucking idea what to do except selling old francise names one after another.

Some companies even publishe the Q&A where investors ask the jucy questions and this is probably what you are looking for.

Oh fuck, I just got the greatest idea.

>>1462585
Then pls tell me, I'm curious.

considering there are a lot of ones that use voice synthesizers and are popular, you can just use those. However those are only for touchy subjects like politics and anti-sjws. never seen that done for anything outside of those.

Yeah you should be getting a degree in a non meme field.
