    Trading Stocks The Safe Way

    HOT! INVESTING 
    How did you determine that it's overbought? I sure don't think it's overbought based on fed funds rate, bond premiums, and inflation. You can play all the strategies with options that you want. The simple fact is that Mr. Market has priced options accordingly. If you cut risk you always cut...

    Forming company abroad/offshore with bank account?

    The reason why you came up with that list is because you're in Latvia. US has much different laws and most people on this forum live in the US. In the US if you start a foreign corporation you must still file that foreign corporation as doing business in the state. Then you have taxes which...

    Is creating an LLC worth it?

    So much misinformation here. That's a bad idea. If you have an office in another state such as CA then you MUST file LLC-5 with the CA SOS and it makes things a lot more complicated (All states have their own foreign LLC treatment). You also can't avoid paying less state taxes by having an...

    Biggest lesson from 15 years in business

    Totally incorrect. Many things don't DIRECTLY generate a profit but do increase profits. Such as an improved website, advertising, logo, and website content. Once you improve a website you no longer have to work on it yet it'll continue to give you profits for a long period of time. So 10...

    Launched my own clothing line (in less than 7 days)

    EXECUTION 
    Only thing I can think of if you have to have the background is to put it in the header or footer. I wish the internet didn't have to be so plain and follow the same format but things have to be in a certain way in order to sell them well. This will be a learning experience. You'll be lucky...

    Biggest lesson from 15 years in business

    No wonder why you're still struggling after 15 years. You should be sitting in your home while your managers are running your business. The WORST thing you can do is focus on things that DIRECTLY generates a profit. It's better to fix things like logos, websites, product listing, doing...

    Launched my own clothing line (in less than 7 days)

    EXECUTION 
    Nice to see Woocommerce. Now you need to remove the video background, add product categories, and fix/make a homepage just for starters. White is probably the best background for the T-shirts. I still don't think this will go anywhere near fastlane especially with the products and pricing...

    Earn $50 by June 31st. Budget $350

    EXECUTION 
    Then you need to change your stance because you're wrong. Do you know how many mobile games there are out there? Over 500+ games a day are released on Iphone. That's almost 200,000 a year. Even if 95% were crap that means 10,000 are good. You don't have experience in making games, gui...

    Earn $50 by June 31st. Budget $350

    EXECUTION 
    Low margins as in you couldn't make $10 an order? Nothing wrong with making 5% an order. Where did you get the $10 profit margin from? ...Because each order has to make a $10+ profit in order for you to get off the couch and start working? You didn't do research beforehand on the...

    Choosing a business name

    MARKETING 
    Brand and product names mean very little. As long as it doesn't sound weird then it should be good. Most important is a domain name without a dash or an unusual tld. Examples of why brand names don't mean much: Target - A shooting range or a place that sells bows and arrows. McDonald's - ...

    Looking for a mentor for food business

    EXECUTION 
    You need a mentor because you have no idea what you're doing. You wouldn't open a construction company when you don't have a clue about construction so you shouldn't open a food business when you don't know much about food. Fact is that real successful people won't be trying to make a living...

    Critique my idea

    IDEA 
    Bad idea. The costs go up significantly because the food has to be delivered frozen and stay frozen for a while after being left on the porch plus lawsuit liability from listeria, allergies, etc... You know how lawsuits are in the US. If one baby gets sick they'll blame you and then you'll...

    How Would You Validate This Weird Business Idea?

    IDEA 
    That's the wrong way of looking at it. There's not many Muslims living in the US and there's obvious issues with shipping products internationally such as added costs, paperwork, customs, shipping times, etc... The idea is a niche. There isn't a market because people don't need a...

    Stop Being a Loser and Get a Job (B2B Sales -- Learn to Sell)

    MARKETING 
    How ignorant do you have to be to think that business ideas only arise out from working a B2B sales job? You can get a business idea from working as a carpet installer or just have it pop in your head. No need to be innovative either. You can become fastlane by starting a construction company...

    Stop Being a Loser and Get a Job (B2B Sales -- Learn to Sell)

    MARKETING 
    Wow this is stupid. You'll just end up wasting time. You won't be talking to billion dollar companies. You'll likely to talking to small business/consumers all day long and earn near minimum wage so the article itself is a lie. What if your idea doesn't involve taking phone calls but an...

    Destroy my site/model/idea

    IDEA 
    Paid subscription doesn't work unless you really offer good value or something special/unique. There's tons of FREE debate forums/websites online and the books you offer won't be special. A lot of impressions can be caused by bots that masquerade their user-agent as some visitor. PPC would...

    So your cost is how much? Why didn't you start printful? Wow they started in 2013 and look how good they're doing. Already hit millions of revenue in a year. Tons of slowlaners with small clothing websites place an order with them every couple of minutes. You don't need pictures with...

    Destroy my site/model/idea

    IDEA 
    I just went to the website and here's my first impression: The website name sucks, I can't see debates without logging in, and it's not that good of an idea. In fact I at first was confused about what exact service was provided. Only until much later after looking on many pages did I finally...

    EXECUTION 
    What is the expected COGS? What about CPA? Nobody is going to buy these shirts. The t-shirt design, product selection, checkout, website, product pricing, shipping times, and almost everything else is horrendous. Look at the quantity under cart. See how I can't see the "1" because of the...
