The same shit everyday, why the fuck don't we have a sticky? Why the fuck don't we have mods?

Why is this board full of NEETs and high school dropouts who think they can somehow become millionaires without working or learning skills?

I agree, this board had always been pretty bad. But lately it's getting infested by r9k too, which is a bad trend.

I only now come here to waste time.

All the reasons you listed is why I love the Kneepads meme. It's the perfect shutdown.

I do think we need a sticky that says stuff like

>If you have under $5000, don't bother investing.
>"I want to start a business but I'm not sure in want" then you don't want to start a business.
>Read Ben Graham
>If you want to make money, accept you'll have to spend many hours a day on it.
>Day Trading, Affiliate Marketing, Copywriting, Youtube Channel -- all require studios work.

stop whining you little bitch

>>If you have under $5000, don't bother investing.
More like don't bother trading.
Everyone needs to start somewhere when it comes to investing.

I am in the same boat as you OP but I moved passed caring about what other people post.

If you truly care enough to help others with Veeky Forums related questions then do your best to answer honest and real questions, which I do frequently.

Like this thread will generate plenty of views in it's own as people jump in so let me just tell new viewers:

1. Don't day trade with your money until you have a few years of experience
2. Don't invest in penny stocks or cryptocurrency, both are too unstable for starting out investors.
3. Don't fall for get rich quick schemes, they will fail over 90% of the time.
3a. Don't use Veeky Forums as your only advice platform.

4. Do open an account with a reputable business like Vanguard or other mutual fund/etf companies.
5. Do invest in a calm and simple strategy so you don't get overwhelmed. Say, 15 years, 100 dollars a month with it slowly increasing based on your income.
6. Do read up on many sources before you decide to go forward with a change in plans.
7. Do be patient. You can start investing with a small amount but it won't be meaningful until you get higher, but you will appreciate it all the more when you do get there.
8. Don't forget to relax. The stock market is all about keeping your cool when others around you panic and sell. Stay the course and keep level headed when you make decisions.

>Everyone needs to start somewhere when it comes to investing.
Yes, and the place to start is a fully-funded liquid emergency fund of 3-12 months living expenses. And a stable, steady income whether from a salary or wages. If you have under $5000, there's no way you meet these prerequisites.

3-12 months is for someone who is terrible at job hunting and doesn't want to work.

3 months is fair, and 6 months is the most you should need for an emergency, based off your living expenses at the minimum level, rather than say, eating out a lot and other luxuries.

I started investing with part time wages, with only 5,000 set aside, 3,000 for emergency fund, and 2k for investing. 2k for the minimum entry into a vanguard starting fund account. Once that was set up I put half of my weekly income into investing monthly, keeping it aside in case some emergency came up, that left my 3k + half of my wages each month for emergencies. If nothing happened I put forward my wages for that month that was extra into investing.

It isn't that hard see? Only if you are bad with money management should you have a bigger umbrella.

Your mileage will vary based on your income and living expenses + bills. Make sure to figure out your minimum monthly requirements and your comfortable level of living before working on setting it up.

I think that this thread, and everyone who agrees with OP is a autistic faggot.

This is biz, not some hobby board like /co/ or Veeky Forums. If you know what you're looking for when coming here you should have no problem getting it, if not make a thread on your own and people with similar interest may come to discuss.

When you do the threads don't have to be active like on /b/ or /r9k/, which is good for quality.

In fact, by your reasoning OP, I'm frankly fucking tired of seeing threads like these appearing every week, cancering up the place when a better, more constructive thread could've been conceived.

What's the point? You didn't even offer some link to a place which may encourage better dialog, just decided to bitch instead.

>3-12 months is for someone who is terrible at job hunting and doesn't want to work.
3-12 months covers the range applicable to most people. Not everyone is a minimum wage worker, like you. People with white collar jobs and higher salaries need to be prepared for their job searches to take more time.

Also, not everyone has the same risk tolerances. While you might enjoy the security of living in your mom's basement, other people have expenses that cannot be risked, like mortgages, child care, education, and medical expenses.

Please grow up and learn that financial advice is not one-size-fits-all.
