Let me get this straight. You know how to codify and modify artificial intelligence. You have access to and know how to fine tune a warehouse modeling engine, a predictive analytics engine, business rules engine, and an underlying engine with slowly changing dimensions ... and you decide to take this resource and engage the 4chan community in order to gain their perspective on how to successfully invest in the stock market, because you'd rather not study it yourself.

Yea, you're not full of shit at all.

A few questions by someone jus getting into finance, stocks and bizness.

1. 'outstanding shares' refers to all stock that exists of a company, correct?
2. how can the amount of stock existing change? can a company just buy their own stock and 'eat it'? why would they do that? can they simply create more stock? wouldn't this essentially mean taking money from existing shareholders?
3. every single piece of stock pays dividends, correct? roughly how much money is this annually? say for one apple stock? one facebook stock?
4. if a company has stock, that means its publicly owned, correct? so essentially it belongs to its shareholders, correct? why then do ceo's and presidents make insane salaries instead making 'reasonably' salaries while trickling down the majority of the earnings to shareholders?
5. forgot this one, will add later

many thanks in advance!!

Is it a retarded idea to join a programming/computer club in search of project partners?

I'm currently working on some programming projects. Some are already complete and generate some income, while others are still work in progress.
Some are rather big, and I would need to team up with a partner to finish them.

Also, what's the best place to find partners for casual projects?

What's the most demanded freelance web dev/programming skill?

>>949234

>that shitty justification

Way to out yourself as a stingy fuck. You probably don't even tip in restaurants because it "devalues" you .

Which degree would /biz/ choose for maximal profits: Business administration or law?

/biz/, I'm at crossroads. I have no idea which path I should take career-wise, so I came here for advice. Which career path would lead to the most success (in terms of both money and fame)?

Path 1:
I'm already pretty good at programming and hacking. It's something that I've been learning since a very young age. Should I become a very, very good programmer and hacker by learning more and more about it each day, all day long, and working on my programming portfolio? And then complete high-paying programming requests, write exploits (which pay a lot), and shit like that? Ultimately, after years, if not decades, save up, and maybe start a cybersecurity business, or a video game development business.

Path 2:
I have been diagnosed with autism, as well as "hypermnesia" - a savant memory ability. I have some outstanding abilities in memory, mental arithmetic, and language acquisition. To give you an idea: I can divide up to hundreds of decimal places, and memorize hundreds of digits and other objects in minutes. Should I work on these skills even more, learn lots of languages, etc., and try to market myself on YouTube and in other places, and consequently make lots of money off it (via sponsorships, ads, personal website sales, etc.)?

Which path should I take?
