have enough in "traditional" investments - i'm diversified enough so I'm looking for something more unconventional/thinking big but without a super high degree of risk (so not speculative)
5+ year horizon for returns - don't need liquidity that bad.
invest in my business
I suggest you all look into "SEV - Spectra7 Microsystems" and check out their presentation.
VR/AR is the future and the next big thing in our future years ahead...
OCULUS RIFT use their chips and the reviews have been highly praised
Microsoft have grown the development on AR tremendously over the past few years...
Previously, these products were made for hardcore/niche market but with all the upcoming VR from HTC VIVE/PLAYSTATION VR/SAMSUNG GEAR VR/ LG VR will really open up the market to all levels of consumer...
If you ever tried on a proper VR (Not some crappy BOX VR), you know VR is not a gimmick...
Check out this video -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d59O6cfaM0
Imagine the usage of this AR...
The sky's the limit

I'm thinking about buying a small business and looking into some business loans.
Is 5.7% interest a good rate for a small business loan? What is the standard interest rate for a small business loan?
This is in Canada, but I assume it's pretty similar in the US.
>>1171229
I'm not sure what a "good" interest rate is but that % is cutting directly into your NOI so that seems rather steep

He never said anything about a brick and mortar. He could be purchasing inventory from one of those ali sites. Hell he could be trying to buy ETH.
>>1171229
4.5% is more ideal, but I don't feel like your rate is unmanageable. Shop around for rates and make sure your math is right when you make budgets.

at first glance, the SOFTDEV is worthless. Barely any math and bullshit courses like visual basic.
If you had to choose one, do the MECH or just get the most basic courses done and transfer to a real school.

How do you best manage your finances in a marriage without getting cucked?
Of course if you have a girlfriend just split it 50/50 but curious what married couples do if the woman is a stay at home mum with the kids? (Does part-time work or little online money making too of course).
Do you share an investment account together or have your own, do you transfer her a set amount from your pay every month to cover all the expenses and shit she buys? How do you split allocated "leisure spending" money between you? Whose account do you keep the savings in?
>falling for the marriage scam
Just give her all your money because you're going to lose it all in the divorce anyway.
You share all of your finances when you get married and you discuss it and your budget with your spouse.
If you don't like that are you don't trust the other person, then you shouldn't have gotten married to them to begin with.
You are legally one entity when you marry.
Assuming you can afford everything required for both, what's more profitable - running a small hosting company from home, or mining cryptocurrency?
>>1171006
In terms of margins, probably the hosting company. In terms of actual profit, probably the hosting company.
mining is not really profitable unless the coin you mined rockets in value or you have cheap energy
in an ideal world? renewable harvesting to power mining that runs max off cheap grid at night?
Do the calcs bro, you didnt even post your location, capital equity, or electricity costs which are some of the main factors here....
all that said, hosting is changing as a game as compaines become more aware of 'le spooky cloud' and mining is in a massive state of flux (as BTC cant sit still for 5 minutes)

low lending requirements and rising house prices resulted in everyone and their dog getting into the housing market, which pushed the house prices up. Then the low/no income earners defaulted on their mortgages, causing banks to tighten credit and try to foreclose houses and sell them to recover the money they were owed.
College student here. I am currently working as a server to make some "fun" money. Previously I was working a job that was a little more serious and I came to the conclusion that I want to have fun while in school.
Which brings me to today. I really despise being a server. I make decent money as I work in fine dining but the clientele is shit (other than making connections). I dread my job but I love my co-workers. My social life has gone through the roof and I hang out with a lot of cute waitresses. I've only been working here for a matter of months and the only reason I haven't quit is because I don't want my social life to go down the drain.
Do you guys have any suggestions for a fun job for a student? I was thinking bartending at a student dive bar would be my best bet.
Dicksucking
>>1170970

When this reach to wider audiance, I think it would be good to take short position against Halliburton. What do you think?
These huge companies finally get what they deserve. Gonna sell all my shares ASAP.
News broke over 24 hours ago. It's already been priced in.
Nothing is going to come for this. Halliburton will pay a few billion, but deny any wrongdoing in a settlement, sometime in 2-3 years.
Oil will go up after OPEC meets in June. Now is a good time to buy some HAL.
Proof? I already sold my positions, why should I go long again, give me some proof, please.
So /biz/, a buddy and I want to start an investment club at my school (Mid-sized state university.) We already talked to a professor, but need ideas on what we could do.

Who here Data Analyst? Do you like it? What's your salary? How did you learn to work with databases? Share all your experiences.
>>1169494
Not really a data analyst so it might not be exactly what you're looking for but I am a GIS analyst.
I like it a lot but I also like combining maps with data too which makes the job pretty tolerable. I make about 50k.
I have an ArcGIS certificate and I learned R and SQL in college. I'm taking classes for HTML and CSS right now. The job is really cushy. Just sit and work with maps all day. I'm trying to move toward GIS development work if I can.
Up for the potential
>>1169494
Doing an information systems degree right now, hoping to get into data analysis or database administration.
I'm scared as shit that it's gonna be outsourced though, so I'm doing business analysis stuff as well.
I'd also like to get into GIS but I don't know how big the industry is. I'm also interested in health informatics/data.
Does anybody have any experience with selling custom pins/shirts/coffee mugs from those sites that let you buy custom ones in bulk? It looks like an easy way to exploit millennials by selling memes to them. Is it profitable?

- Anyone here have a successful and durable experience in forex trading ?
- What's techniques did you use ?
- With how much money did you begin ?
- Gives me advice for a beginner like me, please.
I am really sad when i read specialized forums in forex, why?
Because all the trading journal I read ends the same way :
They end up losing all their gains and have their account to 0 dollars, after 6 months or 1 year.
I need testimonials from people who really live forex successfully since several years.
http://forums.babypips.com/newbie-island/70214-truth-about-forex-you-cant-become-rich.html
I think this method is the best to learn forex or index cfd:
Depositing tiny amount less than € 200 and try to make it grow until 1000, once in 1000 reached 900 withdraw.
With the remaining € 100, try to grow them again to € 1,000, remove 900 ... etc.
Do it 10 times successfully
Instead of dropping € 50,000, losing after six months, redeposit € 20,000 and lose again after one week.
>>1162468
OP, just based on that last paragraph you wrote, don't do it. You don't seem to know anything about what you're doing.
Alright, I sounded a little dickish in the last reply so I'll clarify.
No way and NO HOW are you ever going to make a 1000% return on forex in any reasonable amount of time and then do it again TEN TIMES like your plan states. The fact that you would even entertain the idea shows how unprepared you are. Pls leave forex to the big boys.

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.

I don't see the hype of guns getting much higher than they already are man. The media goes over the status of gun control every now and then and gets all of the gun enthusiasts up in arms about the democrats taking their shit but as of the past few years it just gets the people up in arms with out much spike in gun sales. If that makes sense.
