“Only 6 time in US History has the Stock Market had rallies with 9 or more days in a row of all time highs – Hoover in 1929, Eisenhower in 1955, LBJ in 1964, Reagan in 1987, Trump in 2017 and Trump again in 2017.”  “Now President Trump is the only President in US History to oversee more than one Stock Market Rally of 9 or more days in a row of all time closing highs.”  There are two related events like the growth in GDP and the decline in unemployment that shouldn’t be forgotten.  “Unemployment is going down, good paying jobs are increasing, the US GDP broke $19 Trillion for the first time ever under President Trump, the US debt is down $100 billion since the inauguration and Americans are making money again”  A healthy and growing middle-class is of a great importance to a nation like ours because working Americans have more disposable income and more capable of saving and investing for their retirements.  Economies thrive when the power of government is restrained and economic freedom is promoted.
I will not pay any taxes in the Us, since I am not working for an US   company What you will or will not pay is up to you of course, but you definitely should pay taxes in the US, as you're working in the US. Since you mentioned being from Japan, I'll also suggest checking whether you're allowed to perform any work in the US under the conditions of your visa. If you're a F1/J1 student - you'll be breaking the immigration law and may be deported. You might be liable for taxes in Germany, as well, and also in Japan. I'll have to edit this to allow people who downvoted the answer without knowing the legal requirements to change their vote. F1 student cannot be a contractor without a valid EAD. Period. There's no doubt about it and legal requirements are pretty clear. Anyone who claims that you wouldn't be breaking the terms of your visa is wrong. Note, I'm neither a lawyer nor a tax professional, for definite advice talk to a professional.
I don't know much about Amit Mehrotra individually, or much about Deutsche Bank's equity research division. I was just trying to point out that the source of this information is a corporation that does not have stock in the debate between Amazon, WalMart, and the Trucking Companies, and is a company that doesn't really have an interest in this debate as a whole, because Deutsche Bank isn't involved in the US consumer products market, the US shipping market, or the US trucking market. It is secondhand knowledge at best, and secondhand knowledge from a totally disinterested party at that.

"&gt; If we agree that there are no state bailouts in ""pure"" capitalism, then please never again in your life disregard this argument when you hear it from a socialist.  The difference is the US does not claim to possess nor claim to be pursuing a purely capitalistic economy. Elementary schools in the US correctly teach that the US has a ""mixed"" economy. On the other hand, Communist\socialist nations DID claim they were in possession or pursuit of communist\socialist economies."
There are several major US banks including Bank of America, citi and Banco Popular that will open an account for people without a SSN. Most will require an in branch visit to open the account.   As some one else mentioned American Express will open accounts in other countries based on an existing relationship or at least they used to.
"This shows that in each market (US and Canada) the company is registered with the appropriate regulatory organization. OANDA is registered in the US with the National Futures Association which is a ""self-regulatory organization for the U.S. derivatives industry"". OANDA Canada is registered in Canada with IIROC which is the ""Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada"".  The company does business in both the US and in Canada so the US arm is registered with the US regulatory organization and the Canadian arm is registered with the Canadian regulatory organization."
They will not open an account if you come in wanting to open an account for a third party. Your sister will have to do it herself. Assuming she has a SSN and credit history to verify her identity, she'll easily be able to do it online, and use whatever address she wants to send mail to (she can have separate mailing and residence addresses). There are also Israeli institutions who provide investment accounts to Israelis with ability to trade in the US. That might be easier for her than having an account in the US and filing tax returns in Israel every year. Unless she evades taxes in Israel, that is...
US bond traders have begun a new trading day looking at higher prices for Treasury paper while Wall Street is set to open lower. The mood swing comes as the head of China’s central bank has summoned the spectre of a Minsky Moment. Hyman Minsky is a economist famed for his theory about the risk of a sudden collapse in asset prices triggered by excessive debt or credit growth. The recent surge in global equity and credit markets has been accompanied by a number of strategists warning of a Minsky scenario and that chorus has elevated in tone by Zhou Xiaochuan, the PBOC governor.  He reportedly expressed concern that corporate and household debt are rising too quickly and said China need to defend itself from excessive optimism that could lead to a “Minsky Moment’’.  Stocks in Hong Kong closed down 1.9 per cent, its biggest fall in two months, led by property companies, while havens such as US government bonds gained. The 10-year Treasury note yield has dipped to 2.31 per cent, while gold has rebounded from early losses to rise 0.4 per cent. The yen, another haven barometer has appreciated 0.4 per cent in value versus the dollar. S&amp;P equity futures are now down 0.4 after the broad market closed at a record on Wednesday.  Ian Lyngen at BMO Capital Markets notes:  We’d be remiss in our assessment of the recent bid if we didn’t acknowledge that the initial downtrade in risk assets followed comments from PBOC governor Zhou citing the risk of a “Minsky Moment” for Chinese assets. This is the notion that exhausted gains in asset prices and credit growth lead to significant market collapses – also known as The Pessimists’ Delight. As today marks the 30th anniversary of the day that the Dow had its largest single-day selloff in history and Wednesday’s close above 23,000 set a new record of the index, Zhou’s comments seem very appropriately timed.
"While It is understandable to be concerned about the choices offered between Mr.20% and the Oft Returning Hemorrhoid, I don't think the US should be lecturing you about a stable government.  It turns out the US Secretary of State Called the US President a ""Fucking Moron"", so this meeting you had, don't put to much weight in it, you will have to have it again with the new US Secretary of State and explain all over again that the Taliban is not a type of crop that covers 40% of Afghanistan and no, minerals cannot really be found in President Ghani's ass, it was just a figure of speech."
There are no US taxes for receiving a gift (you). There may be US taxes for giving a gift (the gift tax), for your parents, but if they are nonresidents and the money they are giving was not situated in the US, then they do not have US gift tax. You have to report a gift from a foreign person if it exceeds $100,000.
There are quite a few details missing. What was your status in India when the property was purchased. How was the property funded? As your status now is PIO, assuming you have registered as PIO, and the purchase was funded from NRE account; You can credit the original purchase price into NRE account and repatriate. The capital appreciation has to be credited to NRO, tax paid and apply for repatriation. A certificate from qualified chartered accountant is required. Essentially it certifies you have paid tax and are compiling with FEMA (Foreign exchange management act) If you are not registered as PIO, you would need to apply to RBI (Reserve Bank of India, similar to fed) for permission to sell as this transaction falls under FEMA. You would in any case need a CA. A lawyer would also help. Assuming you were reporting this property in your US IRS returns ... You are liable for taxes in US.  India and US have some amount of DTAA( dual tax avoidance agreement)
If you're waiting for Apple to send you a 1099 for the 2008 tax season, well, you shouldn't be. App Store payments are not reported to the IRS and you will not be receiving a 1099 in the mail from anyone. App Store payments are treated as sales commissions rather than royalties, according to the iTunes Royalty department of Apple. You are responsible for reporting your earnings and filing your own payments for any sums you have earned from App Store.   – https://arstechnica.com/apple/2009/01/app-store-lessons-taxes-and-app-store-earnings The closest thing to sales commissions in WA state seems to be Service and Other Activities described at  http://dor.wa.gov/content/FileAndPayTaxes/BeforeIFile/Def_TxClassBandO.aspx#0004. When you dig a little deeper into the tax code, WAC 458-20-224 (Service and other business activities) includes: (4) Persons engaged in any business activity, other than or in addition to those for which a specific rate is provided in chapter 82.04 RCW, are taxable under the service and other business activities classification upon gross income from such business.   - http://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=458-20-224 I am not a lawyer or accountant, so caveat emptor.
Government subsidies could be provided if we could all agree what activities are of higher social worth, this is not an insurmountable obstacle.  For example, in Hong Kong and Singapore civil servants are paid vastly more than in the US. The reasons are that society wants to attract some of its best people to serve in these positions, and they want to insulate them from the temptation of corruption. In effect, these positions are considered to be of high social worth and society rewards them accordingly.   Also note that HK and Singapore have even freer capitalist market societies than the US (speaking of economic freedom here)...
It can be normal. The issue is everyone  comparing themselves to others. Living by myself in a part of the country where cost of living was low was not easy, but necessary.  I care less about internet points and more about people wrongfully demonizing schooling because of loans.
It might be illegal for the very reason you stated: The process of printing checks may seem like check forgery. Banks in the US are allowed to do that, and the only condition under which you can do it with your iPhone (again, in the US) is the same as the one for banks: you can produce the original check on demand. Of course, if the whole thing is legit and no-one is going to dispute the check (=no-one will demand the original from you), it might work (legal issues aside). It works in the US. Beware of several things: It might not work. Banks can demand the original. If you can't produce one on demand, especially if the transaction is reported as fraudulent, you may get into a lot of trouble. Photocopying checks might not be legal in your jurisdiction (you're not in the US, you need to check local laws). Photocopying checks may result in images that cannot be deposited (like the word VOID appearing all around). That doesn't usually happen when taking a snapshot with an iPhone, but it happens (seen that myself, when scanned checks for records) if you're scanning. Deposit by scan/picture is usually limited to low amounts (I know that Chase limits it at several hundreds, I had troubles depositing $2K checks with them through the phone).
"Okay... graduation rates along with the number of reported salaries (and virtually every statistic you can think of) are reported in the ones I'm looking it. Have a look for yourself:  Just journalism: http://www.grady.uga.edu/annualsurveys/Graduate_Survey/Graduate_2010/Grad2010MergedB&amp;Wv1.pdf School wide: http://www.unl.edu/careers/survey/salary.shtml  There is NO MISREPRESENTATION of information here. The graduation and retention rates are also reported. Do you seriously think that prospective applicants look at these numbers and think ""Wow, everybody graduates and this is what all of them make!"". If they do, that means they are stupid, not that the university is trying to deceive them. I realize the statistics may be skewed, but why in this case would they be skewed negatively? Why would somebody not report their low salary or unemployment? Wouldn't they, like seemingly everybody posting in this particular article, feel indignant that the school let them down with their education and want to accurately portray their salary/unemployment.  Let's go ahead and assume that the salaries are actually skewed lower. The school puts the numbers right there, you can see how many people responded. All I'm trying to say is that universities are not lying to anybody, at least mine wasn't.   Also, it is possible to make your point without name calling, using ""LOL"" as if what I say is laughable, and accusing me of not understanding things."
I appreciate your help and thank you for your response but it was worded so poorly, I have no clue what your message was in the end. It got completely lost. I’m not trying to be rude or anything, I just have no idea what you were trying to say and am now utterly confused. It was just really hard to read when it lacks correct grammar and punctuation, sorry. It sucks though - I’m actually interested in what you have to say.
Directly? No because I’m not an economist. Indirectly, however, an argument can be made that outsourcing was the catalyst to drive down wages to pave the way for automation as a viable financial alternative to labor and effectively killing the manufacturing market domestically in the process. What you are seeing now are those policies being bared out after 40 ought years.   ...But I’m interested to hear your thoughts?
Thank you for replying. I assumed since I’m the one asking for advice from him I should be leading the conversation with questions mostly. Wondering if you have an examples of what questions. I have some prepared but any extra insight is helpful.
Street name is not what you think it is in the question.  The broker is the owner in street name.  There is no external secondary owner information.   I don't know if there is available independent verification, but if the broker is in the US and they go out of business suddenly, you can make a claim to the SIPC.
One thing I thought of when I heard this was first announced, is how theaters actually make money. Theaters don’t make much from the movies they show, since studios take a huge portion of ticket sales for themselves, especially at release - theaters make money with concessions and value add services, which would still be in full effect even on this “movie a day” subscription model. I’m no expert in the industry though, so I could be completely wrong here, but I’d imagine if theaters have a limitation on the pass in terms of how long a movie must be out before a pass can be used to see it (thereby avoiding the super high studio ticket cost) then they can still make good money from people dropping 30 bucks for popcorn, a drink and candy before they go in to see the movie.
If English is your second language or not, it is still incumbent on you to be clear. Especially when you are making a strong, specific technical point.  As Adorno said, “what is vaguely put is poorly thought.”  And the quality of your comment is not improved by carping about whether I’m a “grammar Nazi” or not.  That said, autocorrect can get even the best of us.
You’re using logic, reason, optimism, and wishful thinking. I’m using cynicism.   In New Orleans, we were not allowed to sue the clearly-at-fault, criminal, negligent, lying, guilty-A-F, corps of engineers nor even their fraudulent or incompetent sub contractors that built shoddy levees because “immunity.”  “Grouping together” is greatly discouraged by the status quo.  I hope I’m wrong. I do.
I’m pretty sure that’s what has happened / is happening everywhere.  However, as a side effect, if I’m getting an 8 dollar burrito it is going to be Chipotle Quality, not Taco Bell.  So the companies who’s model was “eat here, we are fast and cheap.” Got squeezed out of the market by companies who are able to be fast, marginally more expensive, but vastly better quality.  Also, the cheapest fast food restaurants are inferior goods.    Their failure is a sign of a strong economy.  Plus, tastes change.  For the same reason JC Penny and Sears were once booming models but are now shuttering left and right.  In this case though it is often health preferences.  Perhaps they just can’t afford employment because their business model is outdated and is now failing.
That's just an example of what the taxi industry looks like without regulation. Obviously, these regulations vary by city and state, but if a driver did that in my city and you reported it, the company would be in some big shit with the city.
I’m specifically curious as to how employer matches for Roth 401(k)s would work. Even if an employee contributes to a Roth 401(k), matching contributions by the employer must be treated as traditional 401(k) contributions. So even if the treatment of Roth accounts is unchanged, those of us who get an employer match on our Roth 401(k) contributions may still be impacted.
His TTIP energy deal [is really scary](http://action.sierraclub.org/site/DocServer/Analysis_of_EU_Energy_Proposal_TTIP.pdf). because the US could have to pay literally billions of dollars in compensation if we decide for almost any reason to stop fracking.   Just like with the insurance companies and healthcare insurance.  Which is just as crazy because fracking wells only last a short time. its projected to raise the price of energy in the US, a lot.  The rest of what I think is too speculative but it involves a big scam, like the bank scam in 2008. Targeting US taxpayers. I see it coming. Thats how they operate now.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been getting more and more pumped — because this weekend, I’m going to meet 3,000 Empower Network Bad Asses in San Diego, CA to infiltrate the city and take over in a way ONLY Empower Network knows how to do.
In the US you can walk into some retail stores and use your paypal to pay directly. Some of them sell prepaid debit card. By one and use it to pay your bill. If you're not in the US - check if some local retailers allow that. I believe in the UK they have some that allow paypal as well.
I’m going to suggest something your parents may be reluctant to say: “Grow up and get out.” A man living in a van down by the river, making minimum wage, with $0 in savings has achieved something you have still failed to achieve: adulthood.  This, I believe, is more important than a man’s income or net worth. So please join us adults Bryan.  I think you’ll enjoy it.  Yes, your savings may take a hit but you will gain the respect that comes with being an adult.  I think it is worth it.
"The statement ""America has no manufacturing"" is always meant as hyperbole. However I keep reading of people who seem to actually believe it in a literal sense.  I remember once posting in an internet forum (probably Reddit) that if the US Dollar drops, US manufacturing will be in greater demand around the world and help exports. Someone then came along and replied ""But the US doesn't manufacture anything any more!"" in a sort of helpless arms thrown in the air way."
I recently finished reading a book that you may be interested in based on your question, The Ultimate Suburban Survivalist Guide. The author begins with a discussion of why he thinks the US economy and currency could collapse. It gets a little scary. Then he goes into great detail on commodities, specifically gold. The rest of the book is about what you can be doing to prepare yourself and your family to be more self sufficient. To answer your question, I do anticipate problems with US currency in the future and plan to put some money in gold if the price dips.
Such regulation went into effect in Poland a few years ago. What happened was that the advertisers began putting more low frequency tones into the ads - the power output was the same, but due to the way humans are wired, the ads were still percieved as louder. I wonder if the same thing will happen in the US :)
I do a lot of sports betting and I’m heavily limited on some sites where I have had good winning streaks. Some of them are as low as $5 per game.  So yeah, the house definitely tilts the table if it benefits them.
I don’t see this area turning around anytime soon. It’s extremely poverty ridden . Plus I believe a lot of the stipulations in buying one of these $100 homes is that you rehab it and live in it.   I’m not positive on the details though.   Last time this area was wealthy was during the al Capone era. He had a lot of money in it. But even that was ilegal money.
I think Wendy's food is delicious, they've really stepped up their game over the last year or so (at least they have in Canada don't know if they've made changes in the US).  I would eat there 1-2 times a week if fast food wasn't so unhealthy.
First the obvious: Business school rankings are flawed.   I have no doubt that Asian business schools are improving rapidly, and many are already on par with Western universities. Many of the best teachers at US/European schools are also teaching in Asia (I have never had an Asian teacher but I expect that they are as great as their Western counterparts). Also, academic journals accept more and more Asian submissions.   But we also have to put the numbers in perspective. An American student who did an MBA in China will have a hard time getting a job in the US. Even those who go to European universities are met by recruiters with puzzlement. So these the high ranking of Asian schools is really only relevant for Asian students.   In short, what the ranking says is: If you're Chinese, you don't *need* to go to the US or Europe for your business degree. Personally I suggest you still do if you can afford it, because the experience abroad, and the exposure to students with a different attitude, will be an enrichment.
