Should I have bought Nintendo stock before Pokemon Go?
There are three containment boards for this shit
>>1375686
no because it's expensive as fuck.
Yes, but only if you had a lot of money to begin with, because it's shares were very expensive.
Not they are soaring, and they are still going up, but only people who bought in before GO was launched will make a significant profit at this point.
Daily reminder that if you've 'invested' in one of the following:
- Cryptoshit
- 2 da moon stocks that are shilled on this board
- ULTRA RARE collectibles
..you've been played by shills.
This thread is here to absolve some of the toxic 'investment' culture on this board through education and facts. I know you guys have a short attention span so I'll keep it brief.
Value investing is the only way to make consistently high returns over the long term.
Best practices:
- Educate yourself first
- Never invest in things with no intrinsic value
- Be wary when others are telling you to buy something right now
>>1375478
Also:
- Nothing is free
So what value stocks are currently undervalued and provide a big margin of safety?
How do I educate myself?
any list of books to read?
any free courses i can take?
also, not to sound arrogant, why should I take advice from you. what are your qualification?
So I'm building a subscription porn site, but need a payment processor. Bonus points if it supports split payments so it could pay my models automatically. I asked this question before and someone suggested WePay, but unless I'm mistaken, WePay and Stripe don't allow adult content. So those are out. If someone knows of another srvice I could implement into my website, that would be fantastic.
>>1375184
There's open source code you can install to do recurring payments fucktard. You're a pleb and you'll always be poor if you pay your processor for that shit. Goodbye margin

Apparently MTG investing/speculating is a thing??? I played back in the mid-late 90's. Apparently, there's now a Reserved List of cards that will never, ever be reprinted. Some guy bought out every copy of a card on this list (called Moat) for around $300 each and the price has doubled since.
I'm considering dropping $10k-$20k on graded cards. It is less than 1% of my funds so it's not a huge deal if I lose it all. I'm thinking maybe 1 each of reserved card that is similar to Moat (early set, non-core, not reprinted). Here's my initial list:

Applied physics student here (holding a BSc in Physics, working on MSc in applied physics) so I've got good math and science skills. Am very proficient in computational/numerical/mathematical modelling, specifically applied to physics problems (so numerical physics, basically) alongside more 'regular programming', and in total I'm very proficient in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, C++, Python, MATLAB, Swift 2, SQL, PHP, Excel and probably some more I can't think of atm. Have some minor knowledge of finance/economics but I'm sure i could pick the essentials up quite easily.
Post your skills and don't forget to help others you faggots! Pic unrelated

Experience with Excel, SQL, SAS, data analysis.

Specially countries like Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, and also the EU itself. Have most of them socialist ideals and hate privatization? One of my french friends said that everyone in those countries is lazy and loves government spending.
>>1374371
yes
it's called social democracy, capitalism but with huge welfare state and protection from employers
it's mostly bullshit, our economy is in the shitter here in Croatia
Spanish guy here. Feels good knowing I will not go bankrupt when I need to go the hospital.
I still remember how when that Evola shit happened, the woman that got infected was treated here for free, while the people that got infected in the US had to bring a ridiculous paycheck. Not even for special cases like that they will make an exception. Fucking lol at living in USA in 2016.

Should I actually invest in trumpcoin or is it just a meme?
Invest what you can afford to lose and let meme magic work

Maybe it'll suddenly raise just like Ethereum back in february, who knows. How much are you planning to buy?
Meme magic bro its bound to moon
Why does the ECB keep the Southern European countries alive buying their government debt? Why doesn't Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, etc, just let them go down the shitter? What do they gain?
>>1372959
>TFW Spain is the european country with the highest GDP growth rate at the moment.
Stop using stupid memes and learn how economics work and specially about economic policies.
tell me anon, what do germany austria and the netherlands share with the southern european countries?
could it be, oh idk, a common currency and heavily integrated economies?
no couldn't be
>>1372959
Cheap ass labor pools and manufacturing, they're all on the Euro so they cannot adjust their exchange rates in order to curb the centralization of power in places like Germany.

Assuming I don't take stupid risks, and exercise caution, is it possible to make consistent money through gambling?
Or am I guaranteed to lose?
Which gambling? If you're betting against the house, the house always ends up ahead eventually.
If you're playing something like poker, then maybe.
Over a long enough time line with enough samples, you will lose against the house. Table limits guarantee this.
I'd say poker is the only game where you could make a profit long term, but you'd need to invest a significant amount of time learning to play the game.
There's a lot to know about how to play what hand from which position while considering the types of opponents at your table. It's not "just math" as shitters will try and tell you.
>>1359030
You are absolutely gauranteed to lose.
Everyone who gambles loses, 100% of the time always and forever.
Everyone who invests in stocks loses.
If you sit on your money, inflation eats you.
If you start a business it will fail.
We're all going to die.
As a side project, I decided to start writing a stock tracking program in Java. My goal is to try to make something that can catch memestock explosions and gradual increases in value as they start to happen.
As the program stands currently, I can add in an arbitrary number of stocks, the software will check their value/volume/etc at intervals, and record changes. My general idea is this:
>check stocks for triggers
>when a stock gets noticed (from a sudden increase in price over fifteen or so seconds, for example), 'buy' the stock and set a moving stop-loss that stays a bit underneath the maximum observed value
>if the stock dips down below the stop-loss 'sell' it
>???
>profit
It would just be a simulation, since I wouldn't have enough money to really day trade even if it ends up working, but still. It could be used as an alert for meme-explosions.
Help me figure out what indicators it should look for and I'll share the program if it works.
>>1377104
Nobody knows which indicators to look for. If someone found out, then they'd be filthy rich and they certainly wouldn't share.
>be shit at programming
>be shit with finance
>be generally shit as a whole
>>b-b-but im the idea guy!
You're literally useless and essentially human garbage. Stock up on knee pads and never make a thread again.
>>1377104
you already have an indicator. unusual stock movement / volatility. Remember that you have to win 51% of the time minimum. Most of your work will be in fine tuning and debugging.
Instead of working against each other /biz/, why dont we join together and make our fellow anons rich?
Together with our combined autism we can shill stocks over to the retards on stocktwits, reddit, etc and make all of ourselves rich.
That's a pretty good idea but my guess is that we lack liquidity. Also, 4chan is too public to do something like this.
Is that legal? Serious question.
>>1377056
I was thinking we could use like a private chatroom to not get too exposed
