People will say no if asked in such a way, but my experience is that it depends. Most people prefer someone who is pleasant and friendly and agreeable even if it is a put on personality and or a little excessive. I've been in the retail world for a while and have learned when someone is being fake nice but at a certain point it just becomes part of their personality with some people. It's kind of sad.

I hate being patronized. I hate fake smiles. It's the sign of a liar or an incompetent.

I typically know 5x as much about a product as the representative a vendor sends me, and I know jack about the product to begin with. Thankfully I have the discretion to tell them to get the fuck out of my office and send me an engineer who will actually be working on the product. They aren't as good at lying, even if they are inclined to do so, and actually know the product. Butter them up with some premium coffee and I can actually get shit done without marketing equivocations. Saves weeks of time pissing back and forth.

Compare marketing.
>Can you do (obscure subset of tasks)?
>Of course! We can do (something vaguely related to that)!
>Round and round with no, I mean this, that's what I said. Stop being overly broad.
>Product can't do what we want
>Spend months waiting for it to get fixed.

to the guy writing the code
>Can you do (obscure subset of tasks)?
>Hmm... We can't do that without rebuilding (such and such) module, but we COULD do that.
>Makes sense. What would that take? How long? How much? ,etc.
>Without getting too specific, we could probably do it in a month. We'd need to partially rework (other module) as well since it depends on (such and such).
>Oh, we don't need (other module) at this time. How long would it take to get things running without that?
>2 weeks. Well maybe 3 weeks because (person)'s working on (other project) for (other company) and he knows that part of the system better than I do.
>I understand. When can you start?
>Product does what we want, and the schedule is actually realistic.

Seriously. Fuck marketing. Fuck insincerity. Being professional doesn't involve being a yes man. If you can't do something, just fucking tell me and stop wasting my time. I don't need stuff yesterday. I want to know when I can expect it so that I can plan around that.

It depends on the person. Some people just (naturally?) respond to overly nice sappy bullshit and some don't.

Age, region, and personality all figure into this.

Also some people, more than anything, want you to kiss their ass. Some of these people care more about getting their ass kissed than getting a good deal.

Also some people are so obsessed with corporate buzzshit that they will not even hear what you are saying un less your are synergizing initiatives dynamically.


Tldr people are different. One of the best sales skills is to know your audience

If zinc seems too risky for you, consider buying Lucara (LUC.TO) The company is offering a special dividend of .45 for every share owned (so a guaranteed 450 on top of its regular dividend) because they felt bad about their shareholders getting burned when the Lesedi la Rona failed to sell. Check Lucara 's stock chart and you'll see that if you're a long-term investor, it's a very safe bet. (In fact, diamonds are a secondary hedge for millionaires when it comes to market insecurity.)

Lastly, if you want a very stable long-term investment that shows potential for quadrupling in the next 4-5 months, take a look at organigram (OGI.TO). It's a cheap marijuana company that hasn't had a news story in a few weeks. Whenever one hits, it's price bumps up. It's also set to explode once Canadian marijuana legislation is brought to light in November.

Disclaimer / credentials: I have positions in TV and OGI, but not in LUC. So far, I've made almost 3000 in four days on a 10,000 investment.

>Would it be cool if a website/app existed that listed every notable country in the world, along with a way where you can learn about the history of each country's history?
You're describing wikipedia.

>>1395748
Yeah but this just has everything mapped out orderly all in front of you

I believe this will get more people interested

It would be cooler if it helped you learn the languages of said country to

What is the difference between VIX and VXX, and which is better?

>>1395755

VXX follows the VIX index, as do VIXY and UVXY.

$UVXY can destroy you so be careful

at least you're getting paid internship. some cucks do unpaid internships

Indeed is usually my go too for professional work. Monster, use the paper, walk into PwC and ask them for a J O B.

>>1396049

PwC being Pricewaterhouse Coopers?

FUSEX - 30%
FGOVX - 30%
FRESX - 20%
FEMKX - 20%

Maybe some vanguard instead of fidelity. And let that sit for a few years. Automatic reinvestment.

Cut all the bills in half.

Sale of inventory on cash is just:
Dr cash
Dr COGS
Cr sales revenue
Cr inventory

Can you get a safety deposit box that's not in your name, and if so, is it legal?

I just want to pay 10-30 years in advance, get a key and nothing else. Zero association with my name.

bump.. anybody familiar with this?

>>1395084
So far so good. We won't really know until another recession hits.

>>1396116
are small, up and coming financial companies being effected though?

how does a start up afford the team of lawyers required to analyze it?

Also, do you know why republicans hate it so much, aside from just saying "DODD FRANK" to sound smart?

>>1394984
It cant.

"Bitcoin can fix Obamacare" what the fuck?

>>1394984
Create an insurance company with low fees (More people) but have little cover and have a good set of lawyers. If you are going to do this I would like to be part of this.

>>1395040
Im going to be part of doing this but i need a good list of reasons/ solutions to bring to the USA attention i have connections and people willing to listen

Mom is a bullshit meme besides for the top beginning group. My ex made 11k through luck with WG and was their top female. Their alerts are shit if you actually learned how to trade FOREX. Taxbot is Meh and the general quality of the people you meet is Meh as well.

Express your skepticism to him. When he tries it anyway, because they always do, let him learn this lesson the hard way.

>>1394798
Hah, I had a friend who did the same. Miraculously he got his money back in the end, but that's all he did.

Explain it to your friend that the only way he's making serious money is if he can shill this shit to enough people. Unless he has a really good plan for roping in enough suckers he shouldn't try on empty beliefs.

Have him defend his plan to you, don't push too hard, enjoy the outcome if he does go through with it.

Yes I also look at developing countries and imagine the potential there. Even soemthing small like say, buying a shop, I dunno, any shop it could sell baskets or computers or cigarettes, whatever, ina country like Kenya.
>9% growth year on year
That shop it going to make money.

Is this like buy low, sell high?

Are you living in a 4th world country

>>1394566
No. I just fear getting no customers so much that I'm read to work at North Korea/Zimbabwe wages.
If I get no customers during the very beginning of my freelancing career, I will feel inadequate.

>>1394566
Also, should I send copies confirming that I study math and CS at uni to the customers?

50€
why would i need so much cash?
