Because confirmation bias, evidently.

Why are all pot smokers dirty hippies who wear rainbow beanies?

Because they're not.

You, in all likelihood have met little to no "rich people". The only ones you've seen are the ones on TV or on the internet - those ones are generally egotistical and assholes because they're playing a certain character OR because that's the type of person it attracts.

You've probably comes across tons of very "rich" people everyday, they just dress normally and act normally. That guy training at the gym quietly in normal-looking clothes? He could be a millionaire, so could any of them.

It's not like they'll be wearing a rolex and driving a Lamborghini, that's just showoffs.

>specifying mil+.
>Implying $1 million qualifies as rich in the US now.
Maybe if you live in Iowa. Half the houses around here are over that.

WTF, why did it happen?

Yeah yeah yeah, same as Tableau. I still think it'll level off to like 150 by May. LinkedIn is more valuable than typical .com meme shit so I don't think this is a canary in the coalmine.

They released quarterly earnings and their forecast for next quarter is pure garbage.

>no replies
Thats what I thought

Why would we reply to this?

It's retarded. Yes a small percentage make some money, but why play such a risky game when you can "set it and forget it" instead of actively fucking around with the stuff to AT BEST earn marginally higher than the market.

High risk, low reward.

>>1074950
Your literally proving that day trading is shit by saying "muh 5% get gud".

Also too much work to barely beat the market, then pay outrageous taxes.

Go long on solid companies and make real bank with cap gain taxes.

Jeff, quit posting about yourself. Go take a glacier hike in Patagonia or something. Not everyone in a blouse is wired. A genius would not have been caught.

He fucked up the thing that would actually have made money, and instead made a whole lot of bad business investments and tied to cover it up with shitty accounting. Hack.

Anyone /poker/ here?

Well cucks? Anyone poker or what

Hello fags

It was pretty cool how Fidelity was open about it. There's still some VC backed companies that are fulfilling their valuations, but that's probably 5% of this list.

It's looking like a blood bath and Wall St is trying to cover it up with "poor performance, premature product cancellation and difficulty scaling globally" which is a cop out.

There is no way a missed forecast, can justify such a large fall in the stock right. It's crazy.

>>1080778

I think the organization's outlooks are relatively weak, too. It was interesting seeing Tableau getting raped so hard with a forecast of 1,000 new employees in 2016. Tableau actually sells something that's beneficial compared to these other organizations that have a point solution.

It's about to get real rough in the tech world. Real fucking rough.

they basically aren't beholden to shareholder interests. it's supposed to be a "union" ie those who have accounts are members, but i wouldn't say they're not out to get money. they usually just have better rates, low/no fees, etc

navy fed's pretty good as a whole. had them for decades

>>1080756
Close buddy from my squadron had been with them for over a decade, and despite his rock solid history, they refused to give him a loan during a difficult financial time to help him out.

I walked away from them and haven't looked back.

When I was in high school I asked some lady that came in to talk about banks about credit unions.

the best answer she had was that banks usually have larger resources. I've looked up and down for the downside of credit unions and I really can't find one.

>Hi /biz/, tell me what event was life-changing in the way that it got you way richer

When I got a job.

Started working

Started keeping a budget and stopped spending all money on shit at the gas station tier shit

Got rid of expensive vices.

So there's no trick to get rich fast without working?

What enjoyment will you be getting from it that offsets having to deal with people's disgusting mouths and being bit by children all day?

>>1080508
their smile after all procedures?

I think the best enjoyment is realizing u made somebody really happy.

And $$$?

>I feel too sluggish, how do I become hyper/energetic all the time?

You don't. You have to optimize what you already do and/or acquire discipline.

I studied tax law. And I firmly believe the American government can stop that practise by passing a single bill. In fact, all governments who complain about international tax schemes can fix their problem in a week.

But they don't want to. They are afraid the business might leave their country. So instead of fixing the problem themselves, they intimidate smaller countries, or so called tax havens, to adjust their laws. They want small countries to scare their business away so the big ones don't have to.

At the same time, the UK and the United States, who both complain about tax havens, have their own little tax haven states and Islands. But those aren't a big deal of course.

The reason why companies often pay so few taxes in the so called tax havens often isn't even a problem caused by the tax havens themselves. It's the incompatibility of two tax systems that gets abused. A lot of businesses settle in the Netherlands for example, while local business in the Netherlands pay fairly high taxes. But in the Netherlands a mother and daughter companies are seen as one, so you can easily transfer profits between the two. So people put daughter companies in all kinds of countries and funnel money between them through their mother company. Does that mean the Netherlands is a tax haven? They don't even profit from it, so not really. But getting rid of the system would mess up their entire tax system.

But if the USA passes a law that would be incompatible with funnelling profits away then the problem would be solved instantly. Or if you focus on paying taxes at the cash register instead of at the top. You really don't have to bully small countries for it, but that's easier to sell to the public. "We can't do anything about it, it's all their fault."

They don't want their property taken, or converted to something that is easily taken.

Money used to be gold then Roosevelt took the gold and let people keep the paper promissory notes and called that money. That's kinda (is) like theft, so they don't want a repeat of that.

Having said that, I don't hold the position you said in the OP. I am not, however, totally autistic and have access to an internet search engine.
