My mother just won $36,000.00 from a court settlement case she had. She was supposed to get a lot more from the insurance but unfortunately the guy who crashed into her died, and the insurance company decided to tender the full limits.

Another mining project you might keep an eye on: Nevsun Resrouces. NSU

I have about $1000 in them though it hasn't done well since I bought at a bit over $4 right before the commodities crash in mid summer. Geologically it's a good resource with room for future expansion. It's primarily copper and zinc deposit with still decent gold, silver and lead. It's high grade and extraction costs are pretty low.

Downsides are it's in Eritrea so some risk there, also the deposit is tilted so you have to move a lot of extra dirt compared to a flat lying deposit. Also since Cu/Zn/Pb demand is related to industrial activity, China and the global economy in general are something to consider as well

yeah. the price before the huge runup to 100+ trended between $17-25, likely we're going to return to that channel for the time being.

Unbelievable.. if the worlds MOST TRADED COMMODITY was climbed above and stayed at $100+ for so long, and the price has now 'corrected' $30, that tells me that the price over $100 must've been artificially influenced.

KEEP FILLIN THAT TANK, GOY!

that's like 4 cents worth lol, not really. sorry man. definitely hoard it though, someday it could be worth 4, maybe 20 dollars. could be. who knows.

if you want to score on crypto i'd advise buying some peercoin, putting it on a paper wallet, and forgetting about it until the price is $5+. If you're going to invest in crypto at all make sure you own some Bitcoin as well, it will be leading the pack for quite some time. Best of luck.

other coins that are good holds, in order of reliability (in my opinion ofc, reach your own conclusions):

XPM - 1/10th the market cap of PPC and will probably trail its success.

BTC - Just hold some.

NEU - Looks like it'll get pumped in a huge marketing campaign, however there's a ton of coins in circulation so I dunno how volatile the price can get.

BTS - Lots in circulation, about the same market cap as peercoin, but has hands down the best community behind it in the crypto-universe.

XCR - Fully mined supply that is full PoS. Seems ripe for a pump, could be a scam, don't hold much of this and be ready to dump it for profit.

VPN - Recently pumped, this could keep going up as the supply is fully mined and it's full PoS. Dunno if it's gonna hold it's current price or get dumped.

Risk = Reward. You may lose money, you may make money. Good luck.

Also KEEP RECORDS OF YOUR TRADES FFS, everyone's gotta pay their taxes.

Even worse, they're irrelevant. The central banks of the world have taken money printing to such an insane degree that the notion taxpayers will ever be able to repay that debt has become impossible to entertain (and you betcha it'll get dragged out as long as possible, until every shred of possible sanity has been rendered obsolete)

A factoid I've heard, you can tax %100 of the citizens (i assume this also includes the %1) by %100 of their income, and the national debt still wouldn't be repaid.

Taxes are necessary within government (which i argue is also necessary to arbitrate disputes), but combine that with the opiate that is printing money on credit and everything slowly dissolves away over time, and we're the substance being dissolved.

Still, I'd rather pay tribute to our quell our monetary overlords insatiable appetite lest they confiscate ALL my wealth and throw me in a cage for disobeying them. What a country!

The next month or so may be the cheapest period we'll have to build a position in cryptocurrency. It's getting pounded lower against the rise of the US markets, which won't last. 2550 CNY/ $380 seems like strong resistance, we'll see.

Fed's gonna meet on March 15-16 and announce whether or not they're gonna raise rates. If they don't, the SPX will probably float around 1950-2000, if they do expect the markets to tank again. I'd guess they'd stall until their next meeting, feels like the excuse of their previous raise can last a little longer, but they could just as easily raise.

If the markets are still up right before the Fed meeting you can get stupid cheap SPY puts that expire the 18th, three days after they meet. That'll be fun to see if I can turn ~30c puts into $3+. It's a long shot but something i'm watching out for.

NICS are at an all time high, and currently Shillary still have a chance at winning, with the GOP trying the hardest to fuck itself in the ass, we may well see Shillary winning the election via GOP sabotage. The fear is still there to drive the sales, and the NICS numbers reflect that. SWHC will stay high for a while. Seriously their demand is so high they've had to outsource barrel production to GD because they can't maintain their inventory.

As soon as it looks like God Emperor Trump is winning, I'm letting it go of course. I doubt the Obama fear will continue with a republican president.

Say my goal is financial privacy. The more hard-core I can get it the better. If I can pay utilities without them even knowing my real name, great. If my investments require a subpoena to be linked to me, great. To this end, here are some questions:

- Say I make a LLC with me as sole owner, and register a car underneath the LLC. If a cop did a run on the plates, they would not get me, but instead find the LLC, right?

- Say I make a LLC with me as sole owner, and I set up a $10k bank account under the LLC. Then, sometime down the road, I run into trouble with the law and my personal bank account is frozen. Do I still have access to the LLC's bank account?

- How can I set up a ghost address?

- Is there any way to forward mail to an address without needing to show someone my ID?

- Say I am a dual citizen of the U.S. and Italy. I have passports from both countries. I travel to Italy using my U.S. passport, and I open an Italian bank accounts transfering funds from my U.S. bank to the Italian one using my U.S. passport so that it follows FATCA filing requirements. I then walk across the street to another Italian bank and use my Italian passport to start an account, transfer the funds from the U.S. passport connected bank to the Italian-passport one. Now I take a train to Switzerland using my Italian passport, and I make a classic private Swiss bank account under my Italian passport and bank. I go back to Italy, close the Italian account, and then head back home using my U.S. passport. Are the funds in the Swiss account essentially private?

I can't really answer these questions (wish i could), but I just want to point out that the notion of privacy is one that's being eradicated within this digital age. If they really wanted to nail you, they could. I think your success mainly determines on how little of a threat your business is to the state, like if you're constantly laundering LOTS of money. If you're just some schmoe moving <10k/mo it's probably doable. Might not be worth the trouble though, if you're sloppy about it you'll just wind up raising a bunch of red flags and attract even more attention. Running a shell company is definitely the way to go, it's how the big boys handle their shady businesses. Start a car wash or whatever.

But yeah for the most part, if you can sign up for something without using any personally identifying information I'd say you're good to go. If they require personal identification don't risk it, or be professional and use a patsy as a fall guy. The more prominent your link to the organization the more incentive they have to seek you out over anyone else, no link is ideal. And always have an escape plan you can carry out at any time. The more dirty money you handle the more risk you take.

Switzerland seems to have become a bitch to the US and EU, Singapore or Hong Kong might be a better choice for holding a personal bank account. But in reality all the banks are in the same game so I wouldn't really trust any of them to keep confidentiality of my records, you'll probably get sold out. It would be a mistake to trust them.

I'd suggest hoarding bitcoin as it's immune to capital controls and still has plenty of room for further appreciation, if you're willing to take some investment risk. I'm unaware of any other asset that is so easily transferred anywhere on the planet without any gov't oversight or regulation. Seriously consider using it if financial privacy is your goal.

Good luck buddy. In today's world NOT paying taxes is a virtuous act. The elite who write the rules have the easiest time ignoring them. I'd rather suck it up and pay my taxes though, jail sucks.

yeah you really have to go to the property itself and make sure it's worth what they're asking. you could probably offer 10k cash and get a deal. which for a developed land is a great deal, those are usually $30k+ depending on acreage and location. if the trailer's livable for another decade would be easy to save up the cash to build an actual house there. and the location doesn't seem bad looking at google maps.

if it's on city utilities, and they've been built/replaced within the past 10, 15 years that's not a bad deal. of course buyer beware, could go there and find out some trees rooted through all the septic plumbing or whatever and have to dig up/replace all that for another 10k. maybe it's abandoned and the pipes inside the trailer burst and flooded/rotted the inside, who knows. gotta go look at it.

anyway yeah, fixed rates are what you need especially in a volatile market like we've got today. wait for the stock market to crash, then i bet you'll be able to get some realllly good terms on a mortgage, and so long as your job is secured you can stay at a fixed 1-2% rate as your wages increase via inflation, win-win.

good advice on the credit as well, i should probably start using my cc again, there's a several year gap in my borrowing history. fed must hate me.

most PM stocks rose with gold. it could dip back towards $2, but assuming the company doesn't go broke you're geared to get ~%500 return over the long run.

Salutations. I want to create a secret society for success.

As we all know, life is all about connections and experiences. The right experiences can take someone from a basement dwelling perma-virgin to Elon Musk. The lifestyles and social environmemt afforded to the lower classes, regardless of how much potential they may have, breeds failure and mediocrity, with few exception.

It's no coincidence that so many of life's greats went to the same few schools. The self-made man is a myth, not to deride actual ingeniuty and hard-work, but your lot in life has more to do with the family you were born to and the connections you make rather than your own exceptionalism. A pair of identical twins, one adopted by ivy educated parents and the other by a lower-middle class family, will have vastly different experiences in life. Indeed, one could be said to have been blessed with good pedigree, while the other is born into a cycle of ignorance, strife and servility.

That's where most Channers, indeed most humans, find themselves. Personally, I'm not content with being an insignificant pawn in the one life afforded to me. My personal goal is to make it to a prestigious university [ivy/oxbridge] within 5 years, I want to have that experience in my life before I'm 25, and I believe I won't put that education or life experience to waste for the advancement of the human race.

That's why I'm saving up most of my paychecks for college, but I'm not surrounded by any good influences or people who could help me out, and with how much I'm making I'd have to save up for a decade. That's why I'd rather create my own system, for people like me who want a complete and total break from the monotony and retardation of working class life.

The catch is we're going to need generous benefactors who want to contribute to our cause to get this off the ground. With time people who have benefited from the society will become the benefactors. Our credo is that we're all committed to self improvement and success. Joining as a non-benefactor means you're signing up to become a life-long member. If you ever fall short of the credo, we'll try and support you as long as youPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I did Engineering at Cambridge (Churchill)

I really do not know what you expect to get from Cambridge. I think you have mistaken it for Hogwarts.

Its a great uni, and I had the time of my life. But its like anywhere else: most people are not entrepreneurial or insanely wealthy and going to give you money for no reason.

I have some friends who have done startups. One of them got a billionaire as a seed investor. It doesnt guarantee his greatness at all. He just finished series A in techstars and has 20 employees now. He will be worth 10-30 Mil eventually I reckon.

The best you can do is work towards making 10Mill or so and hope that you get lucky with product/market positioning and distribution channels and get a 10x multiplier.

If you want my advice its this: build a good cashflow business thats

Most of the most successful people I know didnt even go to uni, they just started companies and grew them.

These rich investors are only going to give you a shot after youve done a few companies on your own and got reoccurring revenue coming in. Focus on cashflow businesses before ultrascalable-but-high-investment-needed-tech-startups. Stop looking at how to be a billionaire and start looking at getting £300k a year in semi passive income - when you are at that point you can create truly innovative tech startups without needing to rely on giving up 90%+ of the company before getting to a cashflow positive point
