Why would anyone invest in regular index funds when they could invest in leveraged etfs that cover inexes?
i mean historically index funds have by far the best returns with little to no risk so why not multiply your earning by 2 or 3?
sure theres a little extra risk but it seems well worth it to me.
>>1370436
Post some so we can see how well they have performed the last 5 years. Also I could be mistaken but I don't think EFTs X2 or X3 are meant to be held for long...

Seems reasonably good but a 10-20% drop in the market would probably eat up all those gains in few months. Would allocate 15% of my portfolio to it but only after a significant market drop.

Isn't this gambling? Won't Paypal or whatever payment processor take his $?
>>1370375
Beats the shit out of me. The original (you can google it, was million dollar website or million dollar homepage or some shit like that) where the guy had a 1k by 1k grid where he sold each block for a buck.
How much monthly/anual income would it take to be considered financially successful? Wether it be by passive income, business or job or a combination of all three.
I'm currently making 5k a month net profit from my business.
10k* my bad, also thats in dollars
"successful" by your own definition, maybe $500,000 per year
Rich, it would be 1 million per year
>>1370324
I consider anyone financially stable to be doing a pretty good job with finance (they never need to borrow money, whether from friends or the government, and have savings in case of an emergency).
I consider anyone that's become financially independent on their own to be very financially successful.
Whats the difference between a professional and a "normal" person in any inudstry not just business.
>>1370308
Usually the difference is between pro and amateur, in which case a professional generally has it as his sole source of income and/or can teach it at a level that improves amateur skills to professional levels. Normally there is a 'pro circuit' for such things, like motivational speakers or certain comedy clubs or concert halls of a certain size.
Really it's the point where game recognize game.
>>1370308
I can tell you on my side of things.
I'm a fisheries manager, been doing it for 10 years in WA and AK. The difference between a pro and a normie is time on deck. If you don't know how shit goes down on the water, you cannot effectively provide technical/policy analysis in order to regulate.
So I suppose a more generic way of saying it is knowing the industry from the ground up. not just coming in laterally from something akin to college or OCS.

Professional: I have 10 years of experience in PIC RELATED.
Normal: Eyo, lemme get some fuck.

How well does having two versions of a product work for sales?
>>1370112
The example you provided has done well by Nintendo. The differences between the games were not major and so the workload was not much bigger than it would be if only one game was made. People who were going to buy the game would likely only get one, but theres the case of collectors or just big fans wanting both, meaning a bit extra profit. The only caveat i can think of is printing cost, but they might've just printed what they were going to and split it evenly between the games.
>>1370143
Minor differences but it was essential to have both vesions for 100% completion, thereby driving the social aspect Nintendo were trying to encourage. I'll bet it drove hardware sales too, e.g. instead of sharing a gameboy with a sibling you now want one each so you can play together.
Are there any online jobs that I could make a livable wage doing if I were to, say, devote eight hours of my day to it like I standard job?

Can confirm. Especially if you have a black guy willing to mix it up every way possible.

Brush up on some of their top merchandise so that you can sound informed. Make sure to be able to tell them about the latest line of products coming from Hot Pockets and Mountain Dew
Told you to buy Nintendo before Pokemon Go
>>1370003
Well you were right but imagine if you were wrong? It could have been a flop and still might be a flop. I played it and honestly its not even a pokemon game. You mostly go around and throw balls at pictures of pokemon. The series was about strategy and this is a super casual game which cant be possibly interesting for very long. The game element is too small. Wait until the hype is over and lets talk about nintendo stock in 3 months.
>>1370003
If you can afford to buy in Nintendo I don't think it's a bad option in the long haul. Potential to make a lot of money if the NX does well.
>>1370045
that's a pretty huge if
Is anything in the health field that you can achieve with a 2 year degree going to be obsolete soon with the way Medicare is going? For example,
>PTA's
Medicare doesnt want to pay them when they can just have a regular PT do it.
>OTA's
Pretty much the same thing
I dont even know whatelse. But what is recession-proof in the health field? Personal trainer? I just want to be able to do something that has a positive impact on somebody's life that I can pass in school without having to take bullshit hippie courses like general education.

Well women take up all the 'assistant' jobs and RNs. Paramedics are jobs EVERYONE fights for.
Healthcare is a big ass field but unless you're a doctor, you're going to top out pretty quick.
You can get an associates in electrical engineering and make bank working on hospital equipment like x-rays, MRI's and all the other shit.

Can anyone explain to me why buying makes more sense than leasing? Everyone says "because you own the car", except by the time you have paid the car off, it's usually worthless and worth only a fraction of it's private party resale value as a trade-in. What exactly am I missing here..? Or is the buying > leasing thing just a meme?
Pay cash for a used car with 60k miles and sell 10 months later for more or less what you paid for.
Repeat.

This, and don't crash it for fucks sakes don't crash it! Also, if you're in a rich arab country and happen to know a few rich family's like myself, you might be able get a bargain of one of em getting rid of one of their many super cars. I got offered a 458 Italia for like 85k

I've just inherited £200,000. A wealthy aunt passed away and left me and my mum and sister her money.
I have no idea what to do with it. I want to invest it for my wife and kids, but honestly have no idea what to do with it.
I've always been quite poor. Shopping for clothes at 2nd hand shops and sometimes going hungry so my kids are always fed.
I'm a farmer. My wife is a police officer. So we don't earn a good amount. It's enough to live. I grow wheat and farm sheep for wool.
I seek advice. What should I invest in? I have no clue. I want my family to be well and secure.The money is in my bank account, but I want to invest it in something.
Please give advice.
I'm about to inherit 250k. My plan is:
25% VTSMX
26% VYM
24% VGTSX
17% VBMFX
8% VTIBX
Feel free to do research, but those four will give you a nice diversity of Nation/international and stock/bond.
Whatever you do, don't let the shitheads here convince you to put it into garbage like Etherium.
I'd Suggest buying a property near you and renting it out. One which you could buy, and do a bit of work to to increase its value and rental income would work well. Best of luck, from a fellow farmer!

>grow wheat and farm sheep for wool
That can't get you much at all. Perhaps you could use this money to diversify your farm away from these and grow cash crops too?
If you'd rather not bother with that, why not just invest the money in a FTSE tracker fund on hl.co.uk or on fundingcircle.com? The tracker fund will vary in price but give you about 3-4% return per year in dividends. Fundingcircle involved lending money to small and medium sized business. I'm returning 8.2% on it since signing up two years ago.
