I'm not sure why Google isn't, but your examples are fairly fucking awful. Apple barely dominates, if it even still does dominate, a single category of consumer electronics, and Walmart, in addition to being strangled by the internet, has plenty of competition.

Yeah... 10% market share doesn't cut it for a monopoly.

>>1068461
Yes it's close to worthless

>>1068461
yes its one of the worst possible decisions you can make, unless you just want to network all of college and get a non degree related job, in which case its merely a degree that says "went to university" which is a requirement for many jobs

you can get management or supervisory plus sales or government jobs. its not too bad if its already paid

no certification has a good salary or employment security by itself

certifications are only a means to an end. they will help you get past the gatekeeper who checks your CV when you apply for a job but they don't actually prove you know anything.

however, generic project management certifications such as PMP are a reasonably good bet.

>>1062559

Even if you get a qualification, you're still going to have to start at the bottom of the ladder and work your way up so stop trying to half-ass it. Decide what you want to do and throw yourself at it, none of this "low time investment" easy street shit and expecting to be earning six figures in three years.

>no certification has a good salary or employment security by itself
True, I think of it more like a step booster.
>PMP
Very interesting, though I prefer a career that is less people intensive

>>1062625
Still, it's better pay and a smaller job pool starting as something like a certified network admin than a marketing assistant or financial clerk. There's no magic bullet but I'm looking for an option that would be the path of least resistance so to speak.

Any decent community college should offer the classes to become an electrician in the US

read reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/electricians/)

I'm srs, they have lots of low level info on basically any trade/hobby and happily answer dumb questions.

So basically one of my main questions is,

With penny stocks you either pump stocks like a jew or just learn how to spot a pump and dump and take advantage?

>>1070214

Either one.

Beware: A lot of pumpers prey on people that are trying to "spot the pump and dump"

At the end of the day, the smart take from the stupid.

There is always someone smarter than you, no matter how smart you are.

Penny stocks is a stressful and dangerous (literally) business-

Average Joe that lost his life savings to your pump and dump sometimes decide they want to smack you in the head with a baseball bat and take their money back.

>>1070225
yep. funny you mention that because all these penny stock gurus like timothy sykes.. They do post all their trades and shit, and they DO make a lot of money.. but I bet they do some shady shit like preying on people who try and spot the dump.

So would you say theres MORE of people A , which include people making money off of preying on those trying to spot the dumps. Or more of people B people who just get really good at predicting and "catching" pumps.

Could you please give me a crude quick example of a scenario where a pumper would prey on those who are trying to spot the pump? Or is it just simply that they convince "spotters" that they are a spotter as well and that they really think that stock X will go up?

I know penny stocks is stressful and dangerous as hell, it's very risky BUT theres opportunity to make huge money, the way I see it is it's like the drug dealing world of stocks? Since in the chaotic world of dealing drugs you can get ridiculously high returns if you know what you are doing but you can also get fucked extremely hard AND it's risky as fuck all together to begin with.


I'm still a fucking noob though so maybe im talking out of my ass. I am completely aware that I have a lot to learn. but essentially I want to start fucking around with penny stocks after 5-6 months more of reseach.. just with a couple grand.. just for the fuck of it, just to see if who knows.. maybe pennystocks will be my niche and il learn it very nicely.

Am I just completely fucking fantasizing? Or is this actually in the realm of POSSIBLE it's just very very unlikely. I mean, these success stories of these young guys who went from 20k to 200k or whatever.. They didn't get "lucky" did they..? I mean almost all of them say that at one point they fucked up and lost a huge amount.

What are some characteristics of some of these young people who learned the art of pennystocks.. do you basically just have to know and spot all the bullshit.

It's not really much of anything when you keep predicting it will rain and then eventually it rains.

I can also keep saying "THERE WILL BE A RECESSION SOON, A VERY BIG RECESSION AND VERY SCARY".

And then when nothing happens for years - I can make excuses. "Oh it just didn't happen yet, it will happen you'll see!", and then something small happens and it rebounds, I can say "Oh that's just some small waves before the tidal wave, don't worry it'll be there!".

Eventually 15 years later there is a recession and I say "SEE I WAS RIGHT, WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?". But then again if people had believed me they would've been sitting waiting for 15 years, foolishly.

>THERE WILL BE A RECESSION SOON, A VERY BIG RECESSION AND VERY SCARY


But he gives specific reasons for the recessions, so its a moot point.

>>1070192
>he probably has a better track record than most.

Track record for being consistently wrong as a petulant doomer or consistently profitable for selling his gold to other retarded doomers?

what kind of small business

>>1070142
pesticide manufacturing

I used Quickbooks Point of Sale with a neat little barcode scanner to handle lots of inventory at a tire store.

I believe implementing the infrastructure is quite expensive, so the capital would be high

I bet they have the technology to do so already, but won't because they're making bank already, why change what's working?

There's also a lot of people that wouldn't allow it and politics, I think that's why electric cars aren't fully out yet

depends on how much land their willing to buy and having no returns on just extending their gas burning production. If they are not getting solar subsidies then the answer is absolutely not.

I kid, though, he knows his finance even if he is a neo-Keynesian.

Central Banks being controlled by the same people is true. The stuff about your SSN being a bond number and population control to pay off debts is a crockm

>>1070004
Who controls these Central Banks then? Why isn't something done to nationalize them or make them publicly owned?

>>1069968
The federal reserve is in the hands of an independent entity because politicians shouldn't directly control the source of funds for the government. The funds need to be allocated in a proper, organized way (like a budget bill) so that things don't get out of hand (or into the hands of congressmen). Basically it keeps elected officials' skin out of the game. It doesn't matter who owns it really, as long as they're not incompetent and the government can audit them then things should be fine.

Debt increases for countries because governments don't make enough money. The money they make is poured into defense contracting and other stuff that requires funding while they neglect things like healthcare for their own citizens and paying back bonds (governments have passed laws for healthcare, and citizens meet the requirements, but they are delayed in giving the benefits out. thus creating debt). Most of the US debt is owed to its citizens for exactly this reason. But, a government in debt isn't a bad thing. We just need to keep deficits (continual loss) down and we're good. People eventually get paid their benefits and the country moves on.

He's a 'broker' who is selling investments through the phone as a telemarketer would, possibly in an illegal boiler room. It's not necessarily shady, as sales is a MASSIVE part of the financial world regardless of your role, but it very well could be, and your friend sounds like he sucks at it either way.

I was a financial advisor for two years. I did a lot of cold calling and door-to-door, and that was my bread and butter, but I also got to actually manage client accounts.

Sounds like you have something going on... I'll help.

>Some questions are better left unasked.

>>1069899
Yes and it requires huge amounts of paperwork and responsibility.

Even if you do fulfill it all good luck not getting in trouble for money laundering.

LOL DUDE GET A JOB ALREADY HOLY FUCK

>>1069870

In what? Every job out there wants a degree and no employer even gives me a call. I had odd end jobs where I worked as a dish washer, but that's about it. I don't want to be 40 and have a minimum wage job.

>>1069873

Well at this rate you will be 40 with no job.

Honestly, I hate people that think they are too good to work minimum wage, when their time is worth minimum wage, because they have minimum brains

Get off your high horse
