Is technical analysis still a valid approach to getting results in your portfolio? I know it was popular in the 80's and 90's but it seems fundamental analysis and price action trading have become the norm.

How do I get my shit together. I'm sorry if this is the wrong board for something like this. I guess this is more /adv/ but I suppose there's a little biz too.

Everyone has a list inside of their minds, a list that keeps track subconsciously of all the things you want to own in life, or experience. Things like, your dream car, or a car, your own house, a dream house, a dream vacation, a dream pencil sharpener, etc etc etc.

What are some of the items on your list? You don't have to give them all, but 1 or 2 would be great. I'm just wondering what /biz/ aspires to have someday, and I want to see how different many of us are in terms of wealth accumulation.

It can be literally anything, a trophy wife, a Lamborghini, a special fish, a helicopter, a date night with Rosie Huntington Whiteley, literally any thing or experience that you want to one day make a reality.

Why in the fuck did my wife's mortgage vanish from her credit report?

>ex husband signs her on (2003)
>3 years later, still on the same loan.
>5 years later same
>10 years later it's disappeared. Gone. Not reported as closed, it's nothing.

I've got docs from 2 years ago showing the loan on her report, and ones from this year showing a blank canvas.

What in the fuck just happened?

120k just up and vanished.

ex did NOT refinance (first stop). Nothing crazy credit wise. We check our credit weekly and noticed a rather large chunk had disappeared.

Thoughts?

Hey /biz/ are there any good trading simulations that are NOT real time, but have real life events so it doesn't just feel like I'm guessing.

Chipotle stock is tanking.

Would it be a good idea to buy alot for cheap so I can sell them after a decent rebound? Never traded before and business/stock market is a foreign language to me

wouldn't it be cheaper to give universal basic income to all citizens than trying to keep current welfare systems?

Any opinions on countries implementing universal basic income?

So I often see clickbait lists that purport to contain the best places to live with low costs of living. Except... they're all in Texas or the South, and often with a small (sundown) town feel. Which is a problem, because I'm black. So where would be a good place to live with a low cost of living for a black person?

Pic hilariously unrelated.

Hey guys,

I'm in a rut there.
I've been working on my business for 4+ years. That's a long time. We've had a rough patch, despite a great start, we're not modestly profitable (still a small team).

We created this right after college, so we were complete NOOBS and made shit tons of mistakes.

Here is the thing: I'm CONVINCED our startup hasn't reached 10% of it's potential. All of our metrics are good, except we don't have enough users (around 100k only, we're targeting 1M).

I'm just a bit burned out by this whole thing, but at the same time I refuse to give up. I'm quite stuck and not sure what to do. I'm considering raising an addition round so we can finally move faster (and make the moral better).

Any entrepreneur here who's gone through the same thing? If you quit, when did you quit? Do you regret it?

Let's talk roads and Internet.
Why does the government build roads? Why doesn't it build fibre networks in the same way they build roads? In today's age access to Internet is almost as important as access to the freedom of movement roads provide. I'm not suggesting that government should be an ISP, but building and maintaining essential, high speed connections between every human settlement shouldn't be left to monopolistic for profit entities who intentionally stiffle competition and provide subpar services whenever they aren't forced to do so by competition. Compare it to highways, government should build main backbones that are modular and future proof (growth projection for the next 20 years, let's say) since the main cost is human labour, not cable, and lease the connections to any individual or ISP for a fixed cost and leave the last mile distribution to them to compete over.

Could this work? Why not? Any better way of handling this important infrastructure? Large companies do this very inefficiently (US, Australia).

I'm a student renting a condo/duplex. I have two roommates who might actually be retarded. They leave food in the oven or stove and leave the house while is still cooking. I'm terrified all my shit is going to go up in flames one of these days. The owner of this place does have insurance and we each signed seperately. But if the place goes up in smoke. Do I get any compensation or do I get shafted and all my stuff is gone?

Tl:dr idiot roommates. Maybe big fire. Is my stuff covered under insurance that owners have? They didn't require us to buy renters insurance.

Also I live in Alabama if that matters

Anybody have a similar experience to me?

Long story short, I was a drug addict, decided to get on with life and due to my past I have large gaps in my resume with only 1 'professional' reference, and even then I am unsure if they will give me a positive review though they have said they would. I have worked more jobs then that but unusable references (long story).

I'm 22 now, and I have gaps in my resume with no real references (I do have decent personal references for what it's worth) making life very difficult. I've been struggling finding work for over a year so I decided to go back to uni (ausfag) and am considering joining the military because of my (seeming) lack of options in terms of generating an income.

I have no criminal record, it is only my work history that is terrible for my age. How should I approach this? What do I do? I'm dying with boredom, I am fairly skilled (learning in my own time) but with a shit resume, I'm fucked, aren't I.

I'm trying to get volunteer work for something on my resume but it's a struggle even for that. Plz halp
