Millionaire fastlane. I'm no millionaire, but of everything I've read it makes the most sense to me.
You can find a free .pdf, but if you like it enough you should buy a physical copy.

Really I don't read many books on business because I don't think that most successful entrepreneurs started by reading books on how to be successful entrepreneurs.
>>
EVERY FUCKING DAY. EVERY, SINGLE, DAY.
Every fucking time there's a new "what are some /biz/ books you guys recommend?". Seriously just search the word "Books" in the archive. It comes up thousands of times.
I'm convinced it's one person posting it every fucking time.

Holy shit TurboTax sucks this year.
Anyone else had issues with them? I've done my taxes for 4 years with Turbotax and never had a single issue.
Then this year, I have spent 18 total hours on the phone with tech support going over the online program trying to get my taxes filed. The final result was me mail-filing both tax returns, and the return says I owned a farm last year. Holy shit what the fuck happened?

They have sucked for years. And they've gotten to be so expensive that the suckiness is not worth it anymore. I switched to TaxAct because they are cheap. These programs are just glorified calculators after all. I'd do my taxes by hand again before I'd use TurboTax again.

Why is this kind of blatant theft allowed? Greedy bastards.
We ought to just take the money back that the fed handed these assholes and use it to balance the budget.

Can anybody point me in the direction of the best automated brokerage service out there??
Is this just a meme? I'm NOT the most stock market savvy person even though I've been educating myself for the past few months. I've seen gains of a few hundred bucks, but the main gain I've made is that now I am enthusiastic about setting aside large chunks of my money to invest.
I'm young and I can afford to take risks right now. Are there actually any GOOD automated brokerage services where stocks are purchased for you based on a risk factor you set??

What you want is an ETF.
There are one or two "automated investment services" but they're mostly bullshit. ETFs do the same thing, with less woowoo and more regulation.
>>
>>1102628
I thought ETF's are just sort of like a fake stock that follows the trend of something? Like a commodity or something.
Can you explain what you mean please?

It sounds a bit as if you were supplicating.
Try to use less "I" do it more unpersonal. And I personally don't like this sentence: "Please consider..."
Good luck man

Write more about what you've done previously in relation to what you can bring to the role and don't say things like "Please consider" or "I believe ___". Instead put something like "I appreciate your consideration" and "(Preexisting knowledge in X) to apply to the role of Y"
My bad work experience aside, this landed me a job in big ticket sales and I wasn't short of interviews.

What I meant was in relation specifically to the supervisory role since I assume you haven't been in management previously and saying you believe X skill will help you doesn't sound as good as just saying X skill will help you if that makes sense.

Ive been in ASTI for months when we thought it was going reach .30 a share.
I bought 300 shares at .18, then 400 more shares at .14
Now it is down to .08 a share and Im beginning to think I'll never get any of my money back.
Its 90% of my investment. (Poorfag)

Is full time day trading from home a meme or can you make a comfortable living doing this? I'm looking to get into a well-paying trade and study economics and financial markets in my spare time. The idea is to hopefully not be retarded after some years when I have saved up a decent capital base to start trading, and try to turn it into a full time job. Is this realistic if I work hard or is it a pipe dream?

You can do it OP, but look in to financial modelling and software a lot before trying it. Also, you'll need a shitload of cash to try it.
>>
>>1100788
I'll probably use those stock market and forex simulators some sites have while I'm learning, I don't see any reason not to mess around with it.
Any specific software I should look into? And define "shitload of money"...will 100-120k capital cut it or am I delusional? Either way this will be quite a few years off

I think a little bit more might be better. And I'd recommend vector vest.
I can't believe I'm asking 4chan for business advice but here we go, I guess.
I started a subscription box service about 18 months ago. My original intention was to use the subscription model as an advertising vehicle for an online shop. I'd benefit in two ways: 1. because subscription boxes are super popular right now it's really easy to collab with big number bloggers, and 2. since I'm buying a lot of the same shit in bulk I can skip going to the wholesalers and get things directly from importers, bringing my costs down.
Well 1 1/2 fucking years later I have a pretty steady box business--it's not at the top of my category but it's steadily growing and I'm making an okay profit (about $3k net last month). The problem is that the boxes have a terrible fucking margin and more and more I feel like I'm wasting my time. I'm not happy because I'm spending like 80% of my time packing boxes or picking items for boxes or writing stupid product descriptions for boxes, and I'm only making like $5 per box. Sometimes less.
The field I'm in is actually a very high margin business, and the extremely great value that I've provided with the subscription box is the reason that I feel like I'm growing, but I feel like I'm just cycling money and inflating my volume while creating very little actual wealth. Plus, because the boxes take up so much of my fucking time I've basically neglected my online store, which was supposed to be the whole point of starting a box business.
I had a sudden realization today that I am really fucking unhappy with my business but I'm equally scared as I am unhappy. I don't want to lose my current revenue stream but I also feel like what I have going isn't sustainable.
Wat do.

Hire a mexican to pack the boxes, maybe still do the writing since no hable engles or whatever it is. 36k a year puts you above most americans, and you don't even have to suck any boss cock.
If hiring dumb labour to pack the boxes is unattractive, you could try to offer a higher margin box, or sell the business to someone.
>>
>>1100511
Actually you could also offer a higher price but similar margin line of boxes, like a deluxe pack. Your margins will still suck, but you'll be making more net profit per box anyway.
>>
Expand Nigga!
The worst mistake you can make is to sit on your business when it's time to grow. Hire a few people, pay them .25/box or whatever, the rest is all profit for no work. Now you can spend time finding new markets and growing even more.
You're lamenting your good fortune. Go for it!

Towin here. I lost most of money because a stock I had did a reverse split, but the simulator did it twice, so I lost 80% of my stock. As I'm sure you all noticed, I'm currently in last place.
So here's what I've been wondering. Should I try to spend as much money as possible on ridiculous shit in an attempt to get as low of a score as possible, or should I try to work my way back up, despite the setbacks?

Hi /biz/.
I am in need of help. I have autism and I can't get a normal job. I tried it multiple times but every time it doesn't work out. I don't want to live with my parents much longer. Is there any good way of making a normal wage at home for someone like me? I don't want to apply for welfare. I really hate the idea of it.

What sort of autism? How bad is it? Do you sperg out or can you focus on a task?
You could do something in ecommerce if you have the resolve and focus to teach yourself. Also depending on where you live you could just get a job with an employer that offers 'equal opportunity' and they legally can't fire you for anything related to your condition.

- 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.

For learning maybe. But with a tiny amound like that you need to use a lot of leverage to make any substantial amound of money.

Can you guys help me figure out how to help my mom?
She received $350,000 in inheritance from her parents, and she's been living off that for the past 9 years. She's been very smart about it, she doesn't spend a lot and tries to make every dollar count, but between food and rent and transportation and other miscellaneous living expenses, she's down to her last $50,000.
She has a medical condition that makes it almost impossible for her to find work. When she is working, her jobs all tend to be minimum wage since she has no real experience in the workforce. However, she's not eligible for any kind of welfare because she has so much money in the bank, and she's not eligible for unemployment or disability because she hasn't worked long enough. She'll be eligible for social security next year, but she'd only be getting $300 per month because she's worked so little and a lot of her jobs were off the books.
She's getting really worried about her money running out, and it's making her increasingly depressed and emotionally unstable, which just makes it even harder for her to find work. I'm really worried about her too. I'm a broke grad student and I can barely afford to support myself right now, I can't support her too. I feel like there has to be a smarter way to use the money she has to secure her future, maybe through investments or something, but I don't know what. Can anyone with experience managing a big but constantly dwindling pile of money help me out?

I tried to tell her that years ago, but I couldn't offer any specific ideas. She did briefly try to invest in stocks, and managed to make a few thousand over the course of several years, but had to cash out her investments once she started getting desperate for money. I still don't know what she should've done, even back when she had several hundred thousand.
Is she basically just fucked now?
