Don't make this type of inquiry. It'll only disappoint you. All anyones says is how hard/impossible their field is, and it's all bullshit. Yes, you need to work hard, but if you put in the hours and have any semblance of talent (and no major mental/physical disability preventing you from succeeding in said field), you will make it. You can be whatever you want to be within reason.

If you're going to be doing what you're doing for the next 40 years, you might as well be passionate about it.

I'm just scared of failing my engineering degree, despite actually being passionate for the field... thanks for your input though

You're not going to fail if you put in the work. Millions of people have done this before you. Do you really think they are superior to you? Be proactive. Talk to your professors. Tell them about shortcomings/what you're struggling with, and let them know that you want to be as good as possible. If you are proactive with a professor, you really can't fail.

Is this really a way to sell product to companies?

I heard he refused to pay for his hippy granddaughters art degree.

read the article about LTCM going down by michael lewis, talks a bit about how he got out of solomon brothers because all he cares about is his reputation, for the same reasons he stepped in when LTCM was floundering and looked like a hero but was just making a shit ton of money, did the same thing with GS during the financial crisis. hes a completely ego-driven psychopath just like you'd expect, just really got at hiding it and staying modest. still a genius tho

>>1046496

He's a reptilian.

>>1046235

He didn't because none of his retarded policies have been implemented yet.

He's mostly a harmless idiot.

>>1046236
But I was reading a thread on /pol/ where they linked stories of him wasting billions of dollars on random things, and he's only been in office for like a month.

Why does he keep doing that? It seems like he's an infiltrator or something. No one can genuinely think to do some of the stuff I've read he does.

Well it's only beginning in terms of how bad it will get for Canada, but no one government can be blamed for it.

Canada has been getting ruined for at least 30 years, mostly by Liberals. Ontario is the most mis-managed economy in the world.

I've been wanting to try putting together a soda kiosk at the mall that sells unique custom flavors. I would have one of those carbonation machines and a bunch of syrups to create the sodas with some glasses from alibaba to hold them. My girlfriend is on a ketogenic diet so she cant have sugar, id like to offer several sugar free versions to appeal to niche crowds as well. I would probably have a few Ice creams as well, vanilla in particular to make floats with the sodas.

How viable would a kiosk like this be to turn a profit? Should i sell other food products? Could I bottle the stuff at home with a funnel or are there stricter guidelines to handling to be allowed to sell it? Any input would be great. Ive been wanting to get a kiosk for some time but the price per month is pretty high if its a flop.

Well..
Most sodas are dirt fucking cheap. So if it's anything that is hard to find. You could of course sell it for more then your average Coke. I think it sounds pretty awesome if you can get some cool maybe foriegn sodas.

Did you even read the articles? It's a minor sanction against individuals and companies responsible for the missile test. The rest of the sanctions are still slated for removal.

The bottom has finally arrived. I'm long.

No brand is inherently "better", as long as it's a recognized producer and includes an assay.

If you decide to sell, nobody is going to pay you a premium for a Valcambi bar over an APMEX bar. If they trust the content, they'll pay the same per oz no matter whose name is stamped on the outside.

>>1046179

No because owning physical gold is retarded, and therefore any minutiae associated with the activity are also retarded by proxy.

>>1046232
Why exactly do you find it retarded? Don't you think it is a good security for future? Savings for a dark day

>>1046133

I think the amps would sell better than the guitars

But I would do something else altogether, maybe cutting boards, serving platters or a tablet case if the size is right

>>1046138

Is there a way to warm tortilla chips in them?

Lol
Country with entirely different economic circumstances to USA uses USA currency and you make no reference to that particular countries cost of living etc. and make the assumption that dollar for dollar you're worse off no questions asked

Ausfag living in USA paid in Aud - mate, I'm the definition of fucked, you're rolling in cash in Ecuador

>>1045926

Saw a similar article a few weeks ago.

http://www.cnbc.com/2015/02/06/ecuador-becomes-the-first-country-to-roll-out-its-own-digital-durrency.html

Ecuador is dropping the US dollar in favour of a digital currency. Would be prudent to do some research.

>>1045930

If you read the thread fellow Ausfag, I'm asking for advice on how to minimise costs regarding to the actual exchange of my salary, as its something that needs to be done regardless of the circumstances or economic situation in Ecuador.

possibly info on things like...

the buy/sell spread?
frequency of exchange?
economic predictions for USA and implications on USD?
Economic predictions for NZ and implications for NZD?
Futures???

I'm sure people on biz have something to say

It was produced for the masses. Most of the populace is unaware of basic finances. It provides a "humorous" means for detailing some rather interesting characters.

>>1045877
Unwatchable? I watched the whole thing and laughed my ass off. It was pretty dead on. Coming from a finance guy, although I loved Margin Call too, this movie was even more realistic.

I don't remember people blaming the immigrants and the poor the housing crises

I use my bank, as a broker.

>I don't give a fuck about fees and shit, as long as it is reliable and I have a better insight at were my money is, I am fine with it

>>1045601
Well, I am not a broker.
Also banks in my country do not have very good electronic platforms and require bunch of bureaucratic bullshit in order to use their platform. I am looking for more democratic version.

>>1045564
You can use your own bank

I make 30k with only GCSEs living in London, but I'm sure it's possible.

You could join the armed forces. Your disposable income will be higher than somebody on 30k+ even at low ranks, providing you're deployed. Volunteer to go abroad.

Do we even have any females on /biz/?

>>1045458
Doubtful.

You can afford pretty much everything with that money. Must feel amazing to not be limited by money ever again in your life.

When you look for vacations you no longer at the cost, you just choose what sounds best. Instead of playing a shitty used guitar you bought on craigslist you can buy the best equipment. Etc.

>>1045462

Isn't there some kind of joy brought buy researching things for value , communicating with people who have used equipment as compared to just buying studio grade equipment straight to your place?

>>1045468
Maybe a little bit but I reckon it's heavily outweighed by the pros of not being concerned with money ever again.

The difference between:
>Ok well I have $2000... Let's see what kind of vacation this kind of afford me if I filter by <$2000 inclusive resort + planeticket on vacation site...

>I am just going to vacation in wherever I think is best from personal and online reviews, do whatever I want and how ever long I want there AND whenever I want because I do not need to wait for a certain time to save money

That feeling must be fucking amazing. To go onto a car dealership lot and pick your favorite car out of them all instead of saying "O-ok just show me the used ones for under $5000..."


I really wish I can experience the feel some day, but probably not. I am tired of looking at sales for food instead of just buying whatever I want and whenever I want.

>Tfw you only buy the highest value food generally instead of the most delicious

;-;

>>1045431
I don't, but I'd be interested in hearing why someone else might. I know there are a lot of bears on here, maybe one of them will have something of interest to say.

Do you expect another 20% on top of what's happened since December or 20-30% including the last two months?

I anticipate 20-30% drop in the S&P, but I am positioned to capitalize, based on cash reserves, on up to a 45% drop in the S&P (I'm a conservative investor). That is on top of what has already occurred. I think that most of the commodity devaluation has already been calculated into the market values we are seeing right now. So, I anticipate an minimum
Overall of 20%, a maximum of 30% but based on my understood ignorance I am prepared to benefit from up to a 45% decrease in the economy.

Disclaimer: I won't pretend to be an expert on macro-economic trends, I am a value investor who heavily researches the specific conditions of any company I invest in. I am just trying to accelerate my returns with some macro-economic insight.

Self-bump in hopes that someone has something useful to say
