What websites do you frequent to kill time?

I'v finished all my work but for some pointless corporate reason I still have to stay untill finish. Fuck the -5 life. If you're young enough and fortunate enough to not have a job yet then never do, being a NEET is 10x better.

Give me some websites to kill time at work.

Advice /biz/?

Most days I feel like my mind is foggy and I'm running at 50% energy. I eat healthy I got to the gym every weekday. Yet I still feel like there's a weight on my shoulders throughout the day. But whenever I take adderall the fog is gone and I feel like I'm running 100% and then some. The laziness and mental fog is just gone. Though I hate the idea of having to take a drug to feel normal. What should I do? Am I missing something?

The last thing I'm thinking is to start running every morning before my classes. I don't do vardio as much as I should but when I do do it, right after I feel some clarity and wakefulness.

I've tried Modafinil. My body outright rejects that shit. I feel like I'm going to faint when I take it and my heart rate is irregular as fuck. Feels like I skip a beat every minute on that shit.

i used to feel just like that, and then i figured out i was often feeling weird because i was smoking a lot of hash and taking xanax a lot at that time. so i cut back a bit on the drugs and now i have a lot more energy and i can remember things better. so maybe if youre doing a lot of drugs try to reduce a bit!

I'm pretty positive I just failed an interview for an actuarial position.

The guy asked me the question "what's one way you've seen the actuarial industry change within the past few years?" and I said something about the Affordable Care Act and he said said "Ok, what's one risk and one benefit that the affordable care act has caused for actuaries?"

And I had no fucking clue how to answer that. I had a long pause and then said something about how to be honest I would need to read and look at it more closely to know.

How do you prepare for this kind of thing?
Interview advice? Why is it so hard for me to get an internship? My background is there on the technical side.

Interviewers like honesty.
Saying you didn't know and that you'd need to look more closely into it for an answer is so much better than bullshitting an answer.
Saying you don't know something during an interview isn't an end all be all. So if the rest of your interview went well, there's still hope for you. Don't worry about it too much, and good luck.
>>
>>988671
I doubt you failed the interview because of that. Most interviewers try to ask at least one question they know is going to trip you up just to see how you will handle it. The fact that you admitted you don't know instead of trying to give him a bs answer actually serves in your favor. Since this is for an internship position they don't expect you to be fully knowledgable. Relax, bro, you probably did fine.

With oil companies suffering left and right, I figured now would be the time to ask.

Who do you think is left standing when it all settles out? Is it time to pick up some stock while it's dirt cheap, or is that stock going to stay bottomed out as bigger companies eventually gobble up smaller ones?

Tell me what you see in your crystal balls, /biz/.

OPEC recently announced that they will not curb oil production, resulting in short-orders on petroleum across the market. Now that the hooks are in, do you think that OPEC will suddenly reverse their decision as part of a clever ruse, perhaps putting a total moratorium on their oil exports in order to collapse the global market and reap huge profits off of some smartly-placed orders? It just seems like shorting oil right now is too good of a deal to be true, and I don't trust those turban-wearing goat-fuckers.

Their goal is to wipe out US shale producers. Unless our government foils their plan by subsidizing it(unlikely), they will inevitably succeed, though they will take a long time to recover
>>
>>988627
So you're saying that there is practically zero risk of OPEC suddenly stopping production in order to cause the price to go back up, leaving everyone who shorted holding the bag, before going back to producing again? Are you sure?
>>
>>988818
The Saudis cant do shit, they need to keep selling the oil, whereas the US shale companies will use new tech to lean up their operations or go bust.We can wait the Saudis out. It is the US who are bankrupting them. Then you have the Iranians supply coming online. We are trying to strangle the Ruskies too.

I recently made a partnership with a large stainless steel manufacturing plant to make and sell metal products. Only problem is I have no fucking clue what to sell.

Help me /biz/

Stainless steel?

Make parts for appliance manufacturers, maybe cutlery, etc. Big companies take bids for smaller manufacturers to make components. Find a niche and do it the best and the cheapest. That's the only way to grow a business in manufacturing.

About 1.5 years ago I started doing "fantasy" betting, which means that I gave myself 100 "credits" that I then "placed" on various bets (was only pretending, kept track on my wins and losses in a word document) and I have managed to reach 14,000 credits since then.

So, apparently I am very good at betting, and I plan to do it with real money soon (of course only money that I can afford to lose).

Anyone else here doing this?

Seems interesting, OP. What sports are you betting on?

Hockey and Football, mostly.

I registered at a betting site and if a bet gives let's say 1.6x if won, i take my "bet" and multiply it by 1.6 when I win.

Ok, so I've got a friend who daytrades commodities from home, who keeps telling me that what he's doing is the same as what traders in companies are doing.

Is this true? Because it fucking doesn't seem like it to me. Fundamentally, what's the difference between trading from home and doing it as part of an actual firm?
16 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
The difference is partly psychological. At a firm you're not trading with your own money.

He's also using much less money and doesn't have to be wary about liquidity.
>>
>>988464
I see.

Would the firms be using special data and tickers unavailable to me as a home trader?
>>
>>988572
tickers are just security identifiers.

they WOULD use special data, and have access to more financial products, info, etc.

Gold has been plummeting for 3 years when will be a good time to buy it
25 posts and 2 images submitted.
>>
>>988408
never
there is fed policy which is propping up the price of gold
the banks have been getting rid of their physical holdings since being allowed to physically hoard gold is part of the fed policy, designed to drive up price.
with record breaking demand from three countries, russia, china, and india, one would think that gold would go up, not down. yet, we see gold going down and down with each new record being broke.

what it really means is that there's a lot of supply of gold in the open market, instead of being hoarded up by the banks, who are selling their gold to the three countries. eventually, the banks will deplete their holdings, the fed will reverse their decision, and gold will eventually drop back down to under 400/oz.
>>
>>988422
How long will this take
>>
>>988426
not that much longer. gold dropped from it's peak a couple years back. under 1k will be a new norm, and then under 500 will be a new norm, which everyone will have forgotten about gold at that point. id say one to three years.

im also under the belief that the dollar index will rise to 120 and maybe higher.

I am 19. I am going to put my money in a ROTH IRA for 6 years compounding yearly at 1.4%, 5 times in a row, which means 30 years. I also plan on contributing $500 monthly to it.
So, when I am 49, I will be at $222,559.38

That's dumb as shit. My checking account has a 2.5% APR so long as I make at least debit card purchases a month.

Just put it in a Vanguard Target Retirement 2045 (or 2050/2055) Mutual Fund.
>>
>>988330
You can't put 500 a month in it. You can only put ~450 to start with.
>>
>>988345
You should be saving that money instead of spending it for a higher APR, silly.
What's the logic? What's a good rate if you don't get to save as much money as you could have?

Hey /biz/! Any successful swing traders out there?

I'm a web dev who's been investing for quite some time, and now feel confident enough to start exploring ways to trade while I work. I think the sweet spot would be where one can combine both fundamental and technical factors (the latter mostly for timing) but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Most blogs usually have these super specific magic patterns which "always" work, as in:
>long straddle the usd/eur when it's raining outside and the williams %r is below its 62/311 ema, its literally free money
and while they surely work to some degree, it's seems full on retarded to cherry pick one of these patterns at random.

Talk to me anon - how'd you start out?

So now I'm trying to find a part time job in a relevant field.

Do I have a right to be a little peeved? I appreciate they want me to know the grind, but it's annoying still. I feel like it's wasting their hard work by not giving me any (I've never asked for a loan from them in my life), and wasting my time trying to teach me things I know.

I'm not shying away from the challenge however. Just want some opinions on it.

I go there before work (And even on off days as of late since I don't like being at home wasting time all day) and I sit and read whatever catches my eye. Learning the basics of PHP at the moment, even have a notebook and junk.

When less than 20 people own 90% of Bitcoin, how is that better? It's virtually the same.
>>
You forgot to add "Volatility: high"
>>
>>988144
>>988154
Wrong. You pulled that number out of your ass, since there's no way to know exactly how many people own what in Bitcoin, it's all speculation. In any case, there will always be elites, that's basic human nature.

The difference is in Bitcoin elites come from visionaries that saw the potential since the early stages, and got naturally rewarded by this in a non violent way. This elite cannot manipulate the total money supply at will, and run under a decentralized and open source system.

The "old elite" was made with blood, and runs under a closed source system that can manipulate the supply at will. Volatility is a side effect of not being controlled by this cancerous, old elite, enclosed system.
In any case, volatility will naturally decrease as the marketcap grows towards a trillion dollars over the next decade or so.
