Making a career of investing at 32...?

  1. Being a stockbroker/ financial adviser is a sales job.....no t analysis......are u outgoing, have you ever dealt with the public?

    You don't need an MBA



    Buy the study guide for the 7 and signup for classes from Kaplan

    Whatever you do the 7 will be the beginning

  2. He is saying that money and career are not everything.

    If you are 32 and single then find a woman to love and one that will return it.

    You can have all the financial success you want but if you don't have someone to share it with, you still fail.

    I think, that is what he meant.

  3. All financially successful people seem kind of miserable. Their blank stares behind their Porsche or Ferrari. Or an expensive watch to make up for no friends. or an art collection, or whatever else.
    I guess that's kind of the trade off in life o_O:vomit:

    This kind of reminds me of the Michael Douglas movie The Game, 1997
    "Nicholas Van Orton is a very wealthy San Francisco banker, but he is an absolute loner, even spending his birthday alone."

    It's the poor people with alot of family members are the one's who are usually smiling and talking.

    I must dispute. Our educational system went to pot 50 years ago. Decent parenting went out the window before that. There are no eligible women or men in today's world. My suggestion to all of them is masturbate, and get a roommate. Forget about having kids and forget about relationships. This goes double if you are a guy. Most women these days are carrying at least one of the 250 plus sexually transmitted diseases that the CDC monitors. Its not unusual for a woman to be a walking zombie rotting from the inside out and most disturbingly, think its normal. If she is pretty, odds are she is a whore. That does not mean she won't pretend to be a nice girl and marry you, but odds are greatly in favor you are sharing her with a pimp and 5-25 other guys that support her and her pimp (not to mention 20 other women and 500 other men). You are still early in your career and you don't need this significant financial and time investment that could derail your life and your health. You don't need co-dependence, you need independence. Most importantly of all, this is not the world you want to bring children into.

    If you feel a strong desire for a woman, she has hypnotized you. They don't need to wave a watch in front of your face to hypnotize you. It takes seconds and can be done clandestinely. If you desire her, she is exactly the wrong one for you.

  6. Thanks for the additional replies! :)

    I forgot to mention, I'm married and my wife is Thai; I bring that up since we may move back there one day, but only if she can start her own business and I do some imp/exp work.

    I agree about having a social life, people who just earn nonstop and are lonely aren't a happy bunch, it seems.

    Thx DCowboys, I can consider being a stockbroker! I like talking to people, so perhaps that could be a way to also do investments and socialize. I've also been looking into international banking/trade.

    Bro srsly, I followed you up till this point. What do you live in a plastic bubble and get your jollies by sticking sanitized dildos in your ass?

    Go live a little.

    And get off the MGTOW alt-right shit, we're here to talk about trading not social fucking dynamics.

    Asia is very different than Africa / Middle East because their colonization history did not go so well (and developed Asian countries such as HK / Singap / etc. are as efficient as EU/US), there is mounting racism against white in countries such as Thailand, Vietnam etc. and the rules tend to privilege locals. Whereas in most African countries and all middle-eastern countries, the white educated person who comes from a "foreign land" is usually well listened to and well respected.

    These markets are widely untapped. A friend just moved to Mozambique, with 2,000$ a month he as a 3 bedroom with swimming pool, a nanny and a driver (a driver is about 70$ a month in most countries of Africa). Within the first 3 months, he has imported 3 containers of wine for a wine shop that had no french wine on shelves, making 180k$.

    In Europe and the US, everyone needs to fight for a cent, because the market has become too efficient (not specifically the financial market), in the remaining 80% of the world it's far from the case. East africa just went through a tough food crisis even though the country can produce huge amount of food. That means you are the only guy in town who can sell food, there is physically no food in the country, you can sell an Apple for 5$ each.

    I have invested 100k€ in a farm in Kenya and am yielding 90k€ per quarter.

    The tough part tho is to get in the system, make friend there, etc. maybe try to go work for a private equity fund with offices in Africa or.... an english teacher in dubai ? some make 200k$+.
