Is it ever worth it to learn Perl, COBOL or Fortran?
Are there better languages for computational finance?

>Is it ever worth it to learn Perl, COBOL or Fortran?
No. COBOL and FORTRAN are incredibly outdated and perl is a mess. It would surprise me if people used perl in the world of finance.
I'm not sure what you mean by "computational finance," but for analysis Python would probably be the best language to use.

Second this.
Python is the best language for analysis, and one of the easiest ones to learn. Once you're pretty comfortable in it, torrent data science programs from udemy.
Data analysts are heavily in demand right now.

You would be suprised that quite a lot of Inv banks still use Perl. The front end systems are all cutting edge, but a lot of the back office stuff still uses Perl.
Also agree that Python is a good choice.

I'm not one of those "all women are whores" /r9k/ morons, but I will never get a joint bank account. Just to risky, you might love and trust eachother right now, but who knows what's in the future. I'd rather play it safe.

What 2 do if your parents are poorfags with poor financial decision-making?
>Keep telling me about the newest MLM and cryptocurrency and all this shit
>They keep telling me I should drop my Accounting major and just join Amway because they heard some people are making 6-figures doing it
>Keep nagging me about getting a job and moving out and doing chores which further lowers my testosterone via cortisol
>Are voting for Bernie because he'll give them free things
>Keep telling me liberal things they heard on bernie sanders discussion forums
>Keep telling me how capitalism is evil and horrible and that there's a conspiracy to make us poor
>Keep telling me how world war 3will start soon and so money will become useless anyway
>Can't get a job because of their shit since they keep making retarded rules
Fuck man I know I'm living under their roof but why do they have to be like this? I'm so jeally of financially literate parents.
What do I do? I'm considering just taking what money I have and moving by myself to le big city and starting a new life but I have no real job and no gf.
How do you guys deal with your poorfag family?

I guess I have poorfag parents, but I never saw it as crippling as you do. I'm now about to graduate college so I've been living by myself for almost 4 years now, had jobs on and off, student debt.
Just take their opinion as their opinion and leave it at that. Respect their opinions and values period. Do your own thing you don't have to follow their advice.
Parents are not perfect, they are people like you and I and everyone else. Grow up.

Hi /biz/, in another thread I proposed that we hold weekly business discussions for those of us who prefer more... conventional business. The purpose of these threads will be to discuss current business and economic-related affairs.
I intend for the subject of these threads to be decided by majority vote, but since this is the first of its kind I will pick a topic I know a little about (so that at least some of us will learn something).
Let's talk about military aggression in the South China Sea. As you may know, China has been showing signs of aggression in the region. It's been laying claim to various pieces of land - one that is particularly noteworthy is its claim on Spratly Islands - a cluster of islands boasting rich oil reserves. This island is far away enough and is occupied by another sovereignty (Philippines).
https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2016-shangrila/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spratly_Islands_dispute
Obviously, this already spells good news for defence contractors, but something else that is noteworthy is that this area is home to really, really small Asian countries - none of which really have the military capacity to defend any sort of claim it exerts on the islands. Without the American military keeping peace in the region, China is free to use military might to suppress the Asian countries in the region.
We know how Trump has talked about withdrawing the American military from around the world (let's refrain from participating in political arguments here). Should he win, we can expect a rapid increase in business for military contractors - both in the USA and otherwise.
Your thoughts on this?

As the post is the first of its kind, any sort of feedback is appreciated. Too specific a topic, etc.
>>
>>1287966
I more or less agree with yout,but it's all dependent on Trump getting elected. Your topic is also too specific.
>>
>>1287966
Too black and white.
The best outcome for both parties is a continuation of the current agreement. Trump just wants more compensation. Who would pay and who wouldn't? There would be plenty of opportunity to cough up the money before a single soldier was permanently moved.

Rule 1. Always return profit towards the compony.
Rule 2. Only give it away for tax reduction
Rule 3. When you die always give it to your son not your wife or sis.

Warren Buffett will die in the next few years and will give most of his 66 billion of his personal fortune to the Gates Foundation. The Foundation will have more than 100 billion of endowment, most than most countries' annual budgets. Then Bill Gates will die in the next few decades and add approximately 100 billion to that. 200 billion is most than the European Union annual budget, the first economic power of the world. What do you think will be the consequences of such a large endowment?

Candlestick charting guideline:

FAQs
> How is it free?
They invest your unsettled funds after a trade.
It's also pretty basic software.
> When is it coming to my country?
Probably never. They only have plans on an Australian beta ( https://robinhood.com/au/).
> It's been X days, why isn't my account isn't verified yet?
If it takes more than 3 days, try emailing their support. They are very good.
> Is this the right place to pump and dump and/or shill a worthless stock?
No, please go to Stocktwits, Plebbit, or one of our many chat groups.
> What's a good penny stock to invest in?
Don't buy penny stocks you cum guzzling mouth breathing retard.
> I hit sell when the stock was X.XX, but it actually sold at a lower price, am I being jewed?
No, that would actually be illegal. Robinhood graphs are just shit and only show you an average, not-really-realtime price. To get Bid/Ask prices and important things like candlestick graphs, you should use a more robust platform.
> Where can I get better charting or bid/ask?
thinkorswim is bretty gud if you want to go open a second account with real broker.
Otherwise you should be using Yahoo/Google finance or even Stocktwits for your graphing in addition to Robinhood.

Pic related is my resume, what can I do to improve it? Is there any truth to the oft-recommended tactic of putting certain words on their in font that can't be seen to improve visibility in HR systems?

Looks straight out of the 90s
Also, I would suggest making the headings smaller
they're over-stylized as it is, remove the underlining
those shaded arrow bullet points are what really dates the resume
get rid of typing speed, unless you're applying to secretarial positions
I would also maybe remove the part about computer proficiency -- everyone is these days
in the summary type out 8 as eight
