Was anyone actually expecting a hike? I don’t think one is ever coming.
Good riddance. May Devry, University of Phoenix and similar schools go down with them. Why folks choose these schools over community college then just transfering to a university is beyond me. Oh that’s right they don’t want to do 4 years of schooling for a university degree that actually holds weight in the work force. They want that quick 18 month course. Too bad most employers look at those for profit school degrees as a joke. Those poor people that sign up for these schools thinking they are bettering themselves.
Only to find out degrees from these schools ain’t really worth shit. No one tells them that when they graduate that they’ll also be competing for jobs with the guys and gals that got degrees from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT and shit. You wont be working for Microsoft, or any fortune 500 company with a degree from these schools. Just some small off brand company paying slightly above the minimum wage.
More people need to look into trades and certifications rather than degrees. Not everyone is cut out for college. And short cuts like these for profit schools give those who aren’t cut out for college false hope.
i agree with you, especially with the election coming up, but the way they were selling gold and the way the 10 year treasury yield was rising over the past month, people were positioning for a hike.
I wish I knew how to do more advanced trading (options etc etc) because I could make a killing just betting against the fed.
Me too. My learning game needs to level up.

VIX and the like?
Was reading th user comments on this article. Pretty interesting
What are ya opinions on this his idea of don’t save money, instead hedge/invest it?
Also I recently got hired directly with the company I was contracting at. Should I jump on the 401K plan? Honestly it sounds lame. Can’t touch the money till 65??? The fuck? I’l be an old man that can’t really do much with it outside of pay for medical bills to keep my old ass alive. There has to be a better way to save for retirement. I want to retire by age 50 the latest.
If they do a 401K match I would at least put in the maximum amount that they match because otherwise you are missing out on free money. 401k is a decent way to invest, but you have to really watch fees and how the companies charge for certain things because you get nickled and dimed to death with fees.
I was always taught unless you have a job that matches it, don’t do it. Their are better places to put your money to grow, their isn’t many places that’s gonna for sure double your investment.
So what are good ideas if I’m already using my employer matched 401K? Another IRA, mutual funds or something else?
Depends on your goals and your income, but generally you want to do an IRA after you maximize your employer match in your 401k.
Gamble on Wall Street…
CNBC states that Netflix and IBM are up…
I think right now is a time to take money out of Wall Street, not put in.
That’s just my opinion though.
I don’t like risks though and the near future has too many variables with high risks.
Maybe look into a business venture?
yea netflix beat on their quarterly earnings, first time in like 2 quarters that their subscription additions in the usa beat the analyst’s estimates, stock popped 18% after hours.
I would pull stock. This presidential election is gonna cause problems in the near future.
i need some advice
im TO’ing a local that’s 2 tourney’s in so far. and 8 showed up for 1st one and were preping for the second.
entry fee is 10 dollars and grand finals would win 50 dollars, second wins 30, 3rd wins 20 meaning we need at least 10 entrants to break even.
next one is in a month (nov 13) so basically, would you be willing to pay 10 to at least win 20 at worst if you win something? and should we risk getting less than 10 entrants to be losing money?
EDIT: also we did conclude that we got that 1st 8 due to a lack of time for advertising. (we only had 2 weeks as oppsoed to the month in advance we doing now)
The Nov elections are driving this crazy bull market in US weed stocks. Canadian stocks are going a bit crazy as well due to the pending April legislation. It is absolutely nuts rights now. I pulled most of my $$ out of everything else and put it in weed. Hahaa. This insanity will not end well. Must be sure to exit before the bubble bursts.
