lol

i was doing that 401k shit, now i'm doing that under-the-mattress shit.

it probably sounds like i was joking, but synths can actually be a fantastic investment if you play your cards right.

^

this.

what an interesting way to expose immaturities.

invest in oil companies. esp exxon. they just keep going up, but then you have to predict EXACTLY when the earth runs out of oil and then sell just a little bit before that. Sound easy?

synths are similar to investing in wine, except you can drink it without cashing out your investment.

top tip: invest in steel futures. it's going to be in extremely high demand in a few years. you will make a killing.

invest in alien technology.

most of my money is in stock. specifically copper and molybdenum. lost a shitload of money when the economy tanked but the companies are coming back pretty strong.

I recommend asking WATMM for financial advice

my money is in a large sock.

The Somali Pirates' Business Model

A basic piracy operation requires a minimum eight to twelve militia prepared to stay at sea for extended periods of time, in the hopes of hijacking a passing vessel. Each team requires a minimum of two attack skiffs, weapons, equipment, provisions, fuel and preferably a supply boat. The costs of the operation are usually borne by investors, some of whom may also be pirates.

To be eligible for employment as a pirate, a volunteer should already possess a firearm for use in the operation. For this ‘contribution’, he receives a ‘class A’ share of any profit. Pirates who provide a skiff or a heavier firearm, like an RPG or a general purpose machine gun, may be entitled to an additional A-share. The first pirate to board a vessel may also be entitled to an extra A-share.

At least 12 other volunteers are recruited as militiamen to provide protection on land of a ship is hijacked, In addition, each member of the pirate team may bring a partner or relative to be part of this land-based force. Militiamen must possess their own weapon, and receive a ‘class B’ share — usually a fixed amount equivalent to approximately US$15,000.

If a ship is successfully hijacked and brought to anchor, the pirates and the militiamen require food, drink, qaad, fresh clothes, cell phones, air time, etc. The captured crew must also be cared for. In most cases, these services are provided by one or more suppliers, who advance the costs in anticipation of reimbursement, with a significant margin of profit, when ransom is eventually paid.

When ransom is received, fixed costs are the first to be paid out. These are typically:

• Reimbursement of supplier(s)

• Financier(s) and/or investor(s): 30% of the ransom

• Local elders: 5 to 10 %of the ransom (anchoring rights)

• Class B shares (approx. $15,000 each): militiamen, interpreters etc.

The remaining sum — the profit — is divided between class-A shareholders.

Wonder if they teach that at Wharton?
