Anyways, yeah, is there any way to sustainably capitalize on becoming an internet famous fuck up/degenerate? It seems pretty easy to get a following for being a complete cringeworthy weirdo, so yeah. Read the /pol/ post for some context (in image).
Any advice?

>Milton Friedman in 1982 hailed Chile as an “economic miracle.” Nearly a decade earlier, Chile had turned to policies that have since been widely emulated across the globe. The neoliberal agenda—a label used more by critics than by the architects of the policies—rests on two main planks. The first is increased competition—achieved through deregulation and the opening up of domestic markets, including financial markets, to foreign competition. The second is a smaller role for the state, achieved through privatization and limits on the ability of governments to run fiscal deficits and accumulate debt.
>There has been a strong and widespread global trend toward neoliberalism since the 1980s, according to a composite index that measures the extent to which countries introduced competition in various spheres of economic activity to foster economic growth. As shown in the left panel of Chart 1, Chile’s push started a decade or so earlier than 1982, with subsequent policy changes bringing it ever closer to the United States. Other countries have also steadily implemented neoliberal policies (pic related).
>There is much to cheer in the neoliberal agenda. The expansion of global trade has rescued millions from abject poverty. Foreign direct investment has often been a way to transfer technology and know-how to developing economies. Privatization of state-owned enterprises has in many instances led to more efficient provision of services and lowered the fiscal burden on governments.
>However, there are aspects of the neoliberal agenda that have not delivered as expected. Our assessment of the agenda is confined to the effects of two policies: removing restrictions on the movement of capital across a country’s borders (so-called capital account liberalization); and fiscal consolidation, sometimes called “austerity,” which is shorthand for policies to reduce fiscal deficits and debt levels. An assessment of these specific policies (rather than the broad neoliberal agenda) reaches three disquieting conclusions:
>•The benefits in terms of increased growth seem fairly difficult to establish when looking at a broad group of countries.
>•The costs in terms of increased inequality are prominent. Such costs epitomize the trade-off between the growth and equity effects of some aspects of the neoliberal agenda.
>•Increased inequality in turn hurts the level and sustainability of growth. Even if growth is the sole or main purpose of the neoliberal agenda, advocates of that agenda still need to pay attention to the distributional effects.
What are /biz/'s thoughts on this new report?
Just kill people that work at meme jobs and the world will be developed
Inequality is a fucking meme. Would you rather have everyone become 20% wealthier or the lowest become 30% wealthier and the highest 100% wealthier? Anyone still yammering on about unequality in 2016 is just broadcasting loudly and clearly that they don't understand prosperity.
Hello /biz/ not sure if this is the right board for this... But I need a reliable way to ship to the U.S. from sites that only ship to the Uk... Are there any websites or services that can help me with this... Anything helps. Thanks!
Self bump because I need this
what do you need this for?
Holy shit, does anyone know of anything like this? Seriously are there any companies that do this anywhere in the world?
Thanks guys this just sounds really interesting.

>How to lose your money, guaranteed: The course

Look at it this way OP; whatever you may or may not be earning, it will be multitudes less than what the person who wrote this guide earnt off of clicks, commissions, etc. Sharing a winning strategy without a catch is the easiest way to shoot yourself in the foot and lose your cash cow.
Alternatively, the ones curating and writing guides like these are major players in the market and your fresh blood and fresher money will be an easy prey to them. (The catch from our former scenario.)
Why not put that time into a shill campaign on kickstarter or the like. Steal from the idiots, give to yourself.

That's what I did to get rich
You see this, you money-hungry dog? This is your pathetic life burning to a crisp right before your very eyes. Having more money means nothing. Having more money does not mean you are wealthy, rich, free, or anything else. It means you are a slave. A slave to society, because you're unable to function on your own, completely independent from other people. Most people are weak. They couldn't possibly imagine living life without having everything handed to them on a silver platter. /biz/ is built on this principle of most people being weak. Without the weaklings, capitalism would fail horribly. Capitalism embraces the weak and the lazy, and rewards those who produce for them. The only system that really makes sense is communism. The problem is that so few people realize this, and are easily overwhelmed by numbers and are beaten in wars. Numbers always win. But are the "winners" really right? Or are they just winners?
>>1278711
>implying anyone on /biz/ has money
We're all NEETs or minimum wage workers here. We would greatly benefit from it.
Bring on the communism! Punish the hardworking and give it to the lazy! Woooohoooo

Am I correct that buying bull and bear certificates are basically just betting against the person selling the certificate? I mean, if I buy a bull certificate and the underlying asset is the S&P 500, is that essentially the same thing as me saying to a friend "Hey, I bet you x amount of dollars the S&P is gonna go up"?
Can someone explain this?
>>1278419
First, a question:
What the fuck is a bull certificate?
Most anons here are not proficient in cattle futures.
Yes, your understanding is correct. You own nothing, and have 100% counterparty risk.
They're an excellent instrument though.
>>1278477
Doesnt the institution selling the certificate also carry risk? I mean if my bet is right then they have to pay me, right?
Am I naive for trying to work my way through college or is it much more reasonable to just take out a loan?

What kind of things do you need money for? Rent? Food? Everything? or just like books and school related things?
Just curious because I'm currently working part time but living with parents. Will eventually transfer off to a state college that might be too far to drive from parents to class everyday. I don't know if I will have to work to pay rent over there.
>>1278382
Been working full time the past 2 years to cover entire tuition+related expenses
I'll be living with my parents the whole ride. Just trying to minimize every expense where I can.
>>1278542
That's the best way to do it. Wish I would have worked more. College kids who take loans and don't work are fisting themselves.
is anyone interested in a non-memer skype group to discuss strategy and actual finance/economics?
none of this sick stock picks-i have no idea what financial statements or valuation is bullshit that is rampant all over this board. no crypto shills, no penny stocks or anyone that would even consider these things serious investments. no fags that would recommend buying something just because it looks like the price is low on a chart.
rules would be no retards, only people with actual money in the market and serious interest in investing. additions to the group would be prescreened and adding people who want to learn would come after a solid base is formed.
>>1278267
you'd have a better chance with this on reddit. /biz/ is full of either uninformed newfriends or actual competent people, but, who are too high/drunk out of their minds to contribute anything useful and are simply here just for a laugh
Would be interested. Rather do telegram than skype though

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.
May is almost over. Post your past month.
>>1278246
I think robinhood should check out https://www.tradingview.com/
It's free if you sign up and its basically ThinkorSwim tier so you don't need a second account.
>>1278294
Nice comeback dude!
Anyone else think reading message boards or StockTwits is useless? I mean I watched all the hyped stocks fail last Friday and now today, there were a couple of cute ones but the only one they weren't talking about doubled in value.
Its not even trending at 10:30am pst wtf.
I think it makes me a worse trader because I am sometimes using lists like these and its splitting my attention like 30 ways.
I'm a finance student, currently 2nd year and have 2 years till I graduate. I don't really have a clue how to invest, since I none of my immediate family has done it since they think the stock market is a zero sum game and every gain I get is someone's loss and thats immoral.
I save about 200€/month and it's just sitting there. I'm thinking of putting 3/4 of that every month into a mutual fund. I can't be bothered to do my own investments since I don't know jackshit about personal investments since I'm barely over 20. Anyway, any advice is greatly appreciated, but I scouted a few major firms that promise on average anywhere from an 7%-15% a year. Personally I think every promise above 9% is a red flag, but what should I really be looking out for? They say there are no withdrawal costs and entry costs are up to 4% (sorry about the terminology, it isn't my first language). Anyway I'm looking at minimum 10yrs, probably a bit more, since entry costs come to 0% if you stay for 15 years. This is long term, so I have no problems with that.
TL;DR what should I look out for when "investing" my savings with a stock broker agency?
dont invest with shit cunt brokers or youll get wolf of wall streeted kappa123
Steps to investing in index funds:
1. Open account with internet broker.
2. Select an index fund with low, low, low fees
3. Buy the cheapest index fund
4.???
5. Get between 0-15% per year and no locking up your money.

What does /biz/ think about this book?
Is it anywhere near the hallelujah reviews?
The only good part of the book was his idea of testing the business by accepting orders to nonexistent products and displaying "out of stock" message, just to see how many people actually buy.
The one gem in the book, IMHO.

Well, do those reviewers now work 4 hours a week? If so, then it is indeed.
This man, the man with the 4th highest recorded IQ in the world, ranked it in his top 3 books.
if that is not an endorsement I do not know what is.
Some of the specifics are a little dated but the process is still key.

can you give an example of what you mean, a link perhaps?
i have seen subscription services for coffee and whisky, things like that but i don't know if that is what you are talking about.
surely the big issue would be inventory- how much to have, where to store it, can it be re-used?
How do I improve my people skills and my general social/bullshitting skills? We all know these are good for business.
I'm a fairly quiet dude, I've been this way my whole life. People don't dislike me, they know I'm a hard worker but I'm not outspoken.I can only be outspoken to people I've known for a long time.
I used to be relatively outspoken as a teen and people loved me for that but now that I'm older I've gotten quieter.
I fell for the golfing meme and I've been getting good at it, I heard stories about how the golf course is a great place for business deals and social skills but I'm still not that good at socializing in a business setting.
How do I become a top tier schmoozer?
practise.
>>1277214
If there's one thing men respect its bull shitting. Golf is an excuse to bull shit with the guys. Remember while bull shitting keep it short, slightly vulgar but not to vulgar and make it worth a chuckle. Remember if they wanted to talk to their wife they wouldn't be golfing. It's also good to note that you can bull shit whit pretty much any man high or low. Try practicing with a mechanic or construction worker.
