OP here: Just to give you guys something in return - my final project was on evaluating Under Armour Inc. (UA), and it turns out that UA has a ROE, ROC, and ROA of 14% each compared to the 8% market average. The CEO takes a salary of only $20k with everything else in stock shares, so he's been making sure the company does well. It's got a 100% re-investment strategy so the growth stock has doubled its revenues in the past 4 years.

Just some food for thought. May be good to look at as a defensive stock (beta ~0.7).

Keep taking finance classes or just major in it. I'm in my last year undergrad majoring in finance and its fucking great. I genuinely can't wait to start up fall semester.

If you don't wanna major then i suggest 2 textbooks: intermediate corporate finance and Equity Analysis. these two will give you a more well rounded understanding of the markets, valuations, and the corporate side of finance.

Hello I want a job

I'd definitely bring a resume just in case. Then follow the "dress one step above the position you'll be working" rule. So if they have a work uniform you'd be wearing, then probably wouldnt hurt to wear button-down + tie. Do your sweet talking, OP. Come in early during the day for better results. Good luck!

>>1296255
That's an ad for mass hiring. If you even sound a little bit excited to work there they will likely hire you. Bring your resume and your best ass kissing face

So now I'm done, but I have no direction. I have a business management degree composed of high-level math/science, lean/sixsigma courses, and a series of finance courses. I have limited programming experience (matlab/sql) but am very adept to learning it.

What sort of entry level positions would /biz/ recommend? How can I leverage my unorthodox coursework to help me find a role in the business world?

Hey I'm 18 and am going to college in the fall for a major in finance.
I've been researching the markets for a year now and I feel like I'm ready to start investing my money. I have like 4000 dollars.
I just have no idea where to start though.
Also, any advice or long term stocks that you think could help me?

>>1296251
I want to start a business but I'm scared. Anyone started a business before?

>>1296184
Yes, don't bother.
It's basically

>Ask for help

>>1296184
Yes. I don't think it's particularly useful for improving your own social skills but it's interesting to analyse others behavior with it in mind. Especially older people in business.

Yes, learning a programming language is like learning a foreign language. If you don't start when you are a baby, you will never truly be fluent.

Statistically applicants with 'black sounding names' are less likely to be called back for an interview.

I've tried and I never got called back.

Put White and gotten interviews quite frequently. No other variables changed

It won't ever take off, the people who made money out of this coin have been and gone. This will teach you not to believe idiots on a thread without doing your research in future.

Closer to the election. Also when the two remaining marketing videos come out

You're too impatient. We've all told you from the start that this is a buy and hold coin. Either stake that shit out, or play the waves.

We don't want money, we want the shit money can buy.

You are a literal nigger

For better or worse, a savings account or money market fund is the best place. An emergency fund, by definition, needs to be highly liquid so that you can access the monies quickly if needed.

I understand the desire to seek better returns. However, it's best to avoid stocks, ETFs and similar equity assets because the volatility is too high. Bonds or bond ETFs are a possibility, but there is volatility risk there too (not as much, obviously, but enough to be wary).

Another option is certificates of deposit (CDs) which pay slightly better than savings accounts. They're not entirely liquid, however, you'd want to ladder them.

If your emergency fund is equivalent to 6 months or less of your ordinary living expenses, then stick with the savings account. The low interest rate is the simply price of security and prudent planning.

If you've got 9-24 months of living expenses saved, you could consider laddering bulk into tiers. This would increase your returns, slightly.

If you've got 12-24 months saved, you could consider putting 25-50% into a short-term bond fund. It's a bit more risk for a bit more return, but probably safe overall.

Personally, I keep 24 months in cash in a savings account. The additional hassle of seeking a few extra basis points in interest just isn't worth it to me.

Remember: An emergency fund is like an insurance policy. Yes it costs you a little in lost investment opportunity, but it can save your ass if you need it.

I keep $25k in a 40%stock/60%bond mix because I'm not a pussy retard like >>1295838

Unless that it literally your entire investment, in which case you're even dumber.

It's best to put 100 to 200 dollars into trump coin. In a couple of months it will be at the moon and your profit will astound you. But keep in mind this isn't an investment it's just a quick way to make some good profit

Fuck that man. Not so sure how much I trust trump coin. Bit coin value is currently sky rocketing as we know so I'd invest there.

Im around that age. my net worth is around 80k.. Just sayin'.. it aint easy.. took me at least 10 years to save all that up.. Im a freelancer so i dont work full time.

with your $500 a month.. you can save up to 6000 per year.. Should take you 2-6 of years to save up for a deposit on your own pad assuming your income stays the same

I invest in diversified ETF's.. the yields arent anything to write home about, but far better than a savings deposit

I invested in bitcoin a while back too.. although i didnt get rich from it.. Its value has so far outperformed my stocks

Investing will get you a good yield, but dont expect yields above 10% constantly

POO
