    Feeling that stock market is about to crash

    INVESTING HOT! 
    I'm thinking of pulling all my money out of my Vanguard 500 index fund and putting it into bonds (to keep my money safe from the upcoming financial collapse) Eventually, I'll pull that money out and put it into Gold and Silver. Smart move? I've got the feeling something bad is going to happen...

    Does it make sense to buy index funds in a depression?

    INVESTING 
    And wasn't it that in 1929 - most of the people lost money but there were the very few who took advantage of the opportunity and amassed wealth.

    Does it make sense to buy index funds in a depression?

    INVESTING 
    No I'm talking about when after the news reports start telling the masses that we are in a major depression. And you look at a 60 year chart showing the ups and downs of the stock market.

    Does it make sense to buy index funds in a depression?

    Why wouldn't you buy low? Why would you buy high? After all buying low is what I've been doing when I've been in Ecommerce purchasing goods to resell for profit. I don't see any difference

    Does it make sense to buy index funds in a depression?

    INVESTING 
    When the stock market crashes and you feel the market is about at its lowest point after looking at the trends & the economy isn't doing well, isn't that a great time to buy mutual and index funds? When stock prices are low enough, and the market eventually recovers, the prices of stocks will...

    New at Wholesaling

    So you are implying it doesn't matter which distributor of books you choose - Baker and Taylor or others, as long as they are a book distributor, you won't be able to get wholesale prices to make a profit? So, what if I chose to go the liquidation/closeout route?

    New at Wholesaling

    I have been a seller at Amazon and Ebay for the last 3 quarters. I recently checked in with Ingram Book Company- a major distributor of books. Once they got my sales tax id and other documents, they let me in at ipage. They have a discount structure, where 1-9 books, you get 35% off the SRP...

    No sales? No money! Ebay starting to get on my nerves. Social media problems :(

    SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING 
    Because I want to eventually use pinterest to pin my products. I do have a website, and it is in google search, but it ranks low. I wanted to learn social media to gain traffic to my website. Eventually, I won't have rely on ebay and Amazon to sell, and can start selling on my own website.

    This sucks, I have been selling a few items on eBay and Amazon, craigslist. I bought a camcorder dcr-trv22 for 25 bucks at a garage sale and am trying to sell it on ebay for $75. So far, 4 watchers and 20 views, no sale. 4 hours left. This is just ridiculous. I need to pay my bills soon, and I...

    The future of ecommerce?

    How will everyone keep up with the new changes Google makes every year to its search engine? If Google doesn't start deleting outdated webpages, how will people keep up with the overcrowding of websites indexed on google - more and more websites and competition is added every day? Do you...

    Are kick scooters still popular to sell on craigslist?

    MARKETING 
    I bought a 3 wheeled Fusion scooter the other day for 10 bucks at a garage sale - not electric, not gas powered. I think it's called a kick scooter but I'm not sure. I'm just wondering if these scooters are outdated in favor of the electric powered and gas powered ones - and whether they still...

    My many attempts at flipping items on Craigslist

    MARKETING 
    Wait a minute, I think I found a much better way to test ads, without anybody on Craigslist getting mad. I was searching through Google images for products, and returned some images. I clicked one of the products and went to the website - and found a few images of the product I could put in my...

    My many attempts at flipping items on Craigslist

    MARKETING 
    Well I could post my own ads, except I figured out reposting others was much faster. Say I was to do it all myself: I wonder how I could get multiple images of different items without actually going to buy these items. Worst thing, I don't want to end up with a bunch of useless inventory that...

    She thought I was a spammer from the beginning, she called me like 4 or 5 times in a row and I never answered. Then three days later, she called again, and I answered the phone - A(the) lady asked me "why you are reposting peoples ads, its kinda freaky". I said to her they were "test ads". She...

    My many attempts at flipping items on Craigslist

    MARKETING 
    I've found a few lawnmowers by doing scrapping, but most of them needed a lot of repair - something I didn't have the skills or knowledge to do. I also have recently found a few old desktop computer monitors (without wires) in peoples trash, but I have no idea if they have any resale value.

    For the last few months of exploring Craigslist, I have been trying to figure out exactly what sells FAST in this marketplace. I have only been able to come to a few conclusions. After I heard that Craigslist Ad Tracker no longer works (because it requires you paste HTML code into Craigslist...
