    How to avoid factoring?

    One way is to charge a flat fee for the listing and allow the users to transfer fund with their paypal accounts. Another way is to have a system that releases fund only when you are confirmed that delivery has taken place. This is difficult when you are not in possession of the goods yourself...

    Quantifying Your Market

    The answer is always testing. If it is cheap to make a few samples do so and show/ sell them to your target market even if they are not 100% perfect. If you are making a new type of tire or something similiar the initial capital to set-up production could be large so just do some market research...

    Rooibos first time I have heard of that sounds interesting will have to try it. Congratulations on hitting the one month point. I have never been a pop drinker but I love sweets/sugar and caught myself drinking a tonne of fruit juice and I was also surprised how many calories are in a cup of...

    I would talk to your developer to build a system to automate the process. Something like newlead->get location->select at random x# of contractors servicing location-> send lead as available -> Contractor accepts lead-> send lead -> update account. Of course more minor steps/details are needed...

    Parabolic & Other Stocks to Short

    INVESTING HOT! 
    I never checked the availability of it but my broker shows 100k available now. A few days ago that might not of been the case. I checked the rules and you are able to short IPO's just the availability of the shares are usually limited during the first day of trading and I also believe some...

    Parabolic & Other Stocks to Short

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Hi Top, The reason I stopped trading is because I was getting bored with it and did not like the lack of social interaction that came with the game. Once I started losing interest I stopped taking the time necessary to plan out strategies and trades. This led to losses that were not necessary...

    Parabolic & Other Stocks to Short

    INVESTING HOT! 
    HWK and CVU have way to low volume for anything that I would touch if I am looking at the right numbers in google finance. Top, are these hitting your screen for pure technical/price action reasons? How about that TSLA? If you could of got shares the next day you'd have a nice 3 day 30%...

    Parabolic & Other Stocks to Short

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Top, Took a quick look at this one. It is a bit of a special situation with the merger with VRX so i would recommend some fundamental analysis on this one. Telsa may be good for a short term short when it becomes available (forget if it is unavailable to short just the first day or the...

    $1.5 earning per sale- is that worth pursuing

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Someone will correct me if I am wrong but I also think there is a per trasaction fee of .30 -.20 so it would be 1.25 -1.15 net per sale. This in itself does not tell you if it would be profitable. You need to work out your ongoing costs to opperate the company/service and work back from there...

    T+3 so it takes three days to settle your account before you can withdrawl. You also agreed to let the exchange have discression over what trades are good or busted in event of markets like yesterday. I was actually surprised the width of the trades that they will allow, I think they are making...

    No trading firm program would allow (b)illion for (m)illion, maybe one zero but never 3. Just an example on the problem with fully electronic markets when there are stop runs. Does anyone remember DNDN on the day of the FDA decision?

    Oh that would of been fun. Had to do a double take when I looked at the markets half an hour ago. In reality if I was still doing heavy trading I would of been long before the bottom and puked right after the bounce for small change. Hope nobody here got hurt to bad, lots of nasty prints on the...
