It just takes a decent power outage to make it worth having some cash on hand.  It's possible that worse things can happen as well -- things that would shut the financial system down or cause bank runs. It is an assumption that you'll always be able to (a) access your money at your bank, either via teller transaction or ATM, and (b) pay with a debit card or credit card.  If either (or both) of these abilities are taken away, you'll be glad you have some cash. The amount that you have on hand (how much you want to hedge against these possibilities) is up to you.
Some things will get better (technological advances) and some will get worse (war) and who is president will have only the most peripheral influence on these things.  Plan for the economy to reflect an increasing dependence on automation and a decreasing dependence on human labor.  Social sciences will need to redefine what 'work' means to a population increasingly geared towards disassociation from the means of production.
It's such a good point. Millennials know that old age pensions won't exist by the time we're that age. In fact, there's decent evidence health care and education systems have nearly completely broken down. Rising rents and lack of options don't help. The future is getting complicated just to make ends meet.
Not at all.  If your background is similar to mine, a manufacturing engineer, we'll have common ground.  If your in finance or management or printing or services sector I'll tell you my story at bit more detailed.    Relax, I am not going to attack you personally or something like that.  Look at it this way, if we really get to know each other this will some much more to hate on then the simple ad hominem attacks.
No I don't want that, but not only was I implying that the comment-poster would find it despicable (I could be wrong), but also that the majority of society would find it so.  While I don't argue that majority opinion should always be codified as law, I do believe it does strongly influences morality and law, and rightfully so.    All this leads me to the conclusion that this is not a frivolous lawsuit.  And I should also point out that I didn't say it should be illegal, only that it is worth exploring further in a lawsuit.
Yes you can. it's called Odd Lot
I think it should be the amount which makes you feel satisfied, strong and brave for the future.
Reading your other comments, it's obvious you're just a troll so I'm not going to waste my time debating you. At least I'm hoping you're a troll, because it's easier for me to believe there aren't actually people as moronic as you in the world.
But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable²and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come. It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace²but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! This speech is the best response I can give.
I never said America is doomed, you said that. Does America not have kind and good people in it, who are getting robbed of their lively hood and home?   They Make up the 99%, there is really going to be no place to hide
True.  Unless the government steps-in and make some regulations.  For example, all customer service (talking to other people, also over the phone) must be done by humans. Also, humans must approve every decision and diagnostic done by AI machines. Every group of robots must be supervised by on-site human. Etc.  However, I am against taxing Robots and AI machines.  The bottom line, with Robots and AI doing most jobs that humans don't want to do or are not good at doing, humans can be happy if they have basic income, which can be very low because Robots and AI reduce the costs of goods and services tremendously.
Oh come on.  Really?  Have you ever meet normal people?  They shop at Walmart.  They eat fastfood.  They need help getting a WiFi connection.  They are utterly helpless.  But they are the ones picking up our trash, they make sure are properly maintained, they work the night shift at hotels, they work on Thanksgiving night.
You're just blatantly wrong. There are literally hundreds of thousands of combat veterans and police officers in the US vastly more qualified than you. Beyond that, your scenario requires an instantaneous dissolution of society which is an absurd notion.   Your little dream scenario is just a childish fantasy. It's not rooted in reality so stop pretending it is so that you can publicly masturbate to the idea of trying to rip off your betters.
I wish I would have:
No doubt. But someone who is motivated by greed or money may use that motivation to do great good, at great profit. If someone could become the first trillionaire by turning China and India – and the US – away from fossil fuels, and that's the way they're motivated, and without that motivation they wouldn't bother, I'd be asking how I could help them make the Big T.
"These ""doomsday"" articles always make me laugh. If it doesn't happen the article is simply forgotten. If it does come true then years later the author can bring it out and say "" see I was right"".  In this case it does seem obvious though."

Jeopardy style:  The occupation of most legislators prior to being elected  What is lawyers?   So the folks that set up the system that so greatly benefits lawyers were lawyers.   There's a great line from the movie Barbarians at the Gate that is quite fitting for these times  &gt;The only thing I want from a banker is a calendar and the only thing I want from a lawyer is for them to be back in their coffin before the sun comes up.
Jeffrey Benjamin lawyer By trusting attorney Jeffrey Benjamin to handle your case, you’re bringing aboard someone who knows how to handle business, commercial litigation, fraud and breach of contract cases.

Yes, what they said. You don't mention where you are on the totem pole. Are you reporting to the top dog, or are you 3 levels down? Not to be a downer, but until you know your cut, I'd not get too excited either way. 1000 shares/options of a LinkedIn turned to nearly $100K. Nothing to sneeze at, to be sure, but not enough to retire, nor bother contacting a lawyer.  The details of the equity should be spelled out clearly, nothing against Lawyers, but it's likely to be wasted money.
Look for an accountant who brings not only expertise in number crunching, but consulting and business planning - a full package.
I'm looking for something simple, legal, reasonably formal, easy to setup and tax efficient. You just described marriage. Get married.
If you're a fascist, or some sort of astroturfer then you have to hate anyone who helps the public stand up for themselves. It's hard to see how anybody but the most arch-capitalist billionaire would be against people coming together to enforce what's legally just. I just don't get how a normal human being (potentially effected by things like you listed) could be so anti-lawyer. Doesn't add up.

Never met any myself, but I know some manufacturers use them and are happy with their services. There is definitely a legitimate need for it, just a lot of swamp that gets dragged in. I would call around the midwest and ask. All the business folks I've met there seem to be very nice and happy to help.   Try casting, extruding, or large welding shops and see if they have any recommendations. I know this isn't the best way... but it is a way of finding someone who is probably reputable.

Buy a textbook used in an MBA program at one of the name brand schools.  Then just basically copy that shit putting in your own data.  Hire someone to make a slick logo.  The banker will think you are Jesus Christ come back to earth to save us all.  I'm not joking.
Why is it that people spend more time pricing their newest phone plan than their house, or educational costs.  You see students going to law school who have never job shadowed a real lawyer to even see what reality looks like and have no idea the real job prospects.  I'd feel bad, but it takes so little leg work and planning to keep yourself from self imposed financial doom.

Depends.  New York offices likely Target ivy league, but I was in the Midwest and not Chicago, so they were more focused on the prestigious schools in their market.  The higher name the firm, and the more desirable the location, the more likely they target who you mention.  For the remaining firms, they most often have relationships with local programs that they use to recruit and hire.  How those relationships build can be name recognition like the ivy leagues, or on other factors
To develop such a plan, you have to consult with a doctor at a dependable primary care clinic in Flint, such as one operated by the Michigan Health Specialists.

Top 25 universities, better if they are near major cities. Ivys + MIT, Stanford, Northwestern, NYU, UNC etc.  As much as the top commenter says its who they know, which is true, its a hell of a lot easier when theres on campus recruiting.
You seem quite certain of yourself. Very well, I'll bite.   How, exactly, did you differentiate yourself from the rest of the pack? I'd imagine you needed excellent writing/speaking skills, but that goes without saying.  And also, while it can be difficult to leave one's keyboard, at the same time, isn't the internet generally where network groups are announced?
No one here seems to be suggesting a good website. Make sure the English is good on it. Take bookings on it. Have loads of happy customers talking about their experiences. Ask someone you know who speaks english to help you. Wix.com is a great place to start. You can do all this for free. Good luck
"Don't get bogged down with fears like this. And learn to ignore the ""high profile"" lawsuits that you see or hear about (they are so rare as to be insignificant, and you don't have deep enough pockets or wide enough reach to be a target).  Don't let this be your excuse for inactivity."
I'm from Toronto actually. That sounds completely unfair in a free-market. From what I've just read it looks like LA law regarding non-competes is a bit more complicated than that. But anything that requires a lawyer to enforce or defend against is a pain in the ass.

Ah yes. The personal attack after the entire crux of your argument (that you have to go to law school to take and pass the bar) was proven demonstrably wrong. I'm sure you have a great future in...something that requires people to just make shit up and then project a bunch? Idk I'm sure you'll figure it out.
It may clarify your thinking if you look at this as two transactions: I am an Australian so I cannot comment on US tax laws but this is how the Australian Tax Office would view the transaction. By thinking this way you can allocate the risks correctly, Partnership Tenancy Two things should be clear - you will need a good accountant and a good lawyer - each.

Have you tried social networking? (apart from asking questions) but actually connecting with individuals/firms? Try LinkedIn, there are groups that are very focus-orientated. You might be able to have an influence there. Prove to them that your advisory has more to offer than your competition - this might be putting out free information for everyone to see what you have to offer. Perhaps even free consultations to gain credibility?
Despite a fair number of views, no one besides @mbhunter answered, so I'll gather the findings of my own research here. Hopefully, this will help others in similar situations. If you spot any errors, please let me know!
I do my best to find the best prices for high quality -- and if you are lucky enough to have a great local natural chain that's cheaper, that's great. For me, I know WF so well I can usually get the best deals there, but every once in a while I find a better option elsewhere.
During the 12 plus hours the market was closed news can change investors opinion of the stock. When the market reopens that first trade could be much different than the last trade the day before.
"Prices reflect all available information. (Efficient markets hypothesis) A lot can happen between the time a stock closes on one day and opens on another. Particularly in a heavily traded stock such as IBM. Basically, you have a different ""information set"" the following day, which implies a different price. The instances where you are most likely to have a stock where the price opens at the same price is at the previous close is a thinly traded stock on which you have little information, meaning that the ""information set"" changes less from day to day."
When I place an order with Scottrade I also have to specify if I am wanting to trade outside of normal hours.
"I assert that it's simply not possible for them to place an order that gets ahead of yours (the first step in ""sell it back to you at a higher price""). They only know your order was placed after it reaches the exchange and gets filled."
I'd add, this is actually the way any stock opens every day, i.e. the closing price of the prior day is what it is, but the opening price will reflect whatever news there was prior to the day's open. If you watch the business news, you'll often see that some stock has an order imbalance and has not opened yet, at the normal time. So, as Geo stated, those who were sold shares at the IPO price paid $38, but then the stock could open at whatever price was the point where bid and ask balanced.   I snapped a screen capture of this chart on the first day of trading, the daily charts aren't archived where I can find them. This is from Yahoo Finance. You can see the $42 open from those who simply wanted in but couldn't wait, the willingness of sellers to grab their profit right back to what they paid, and then another wave of buying, but then a sell-off. It closed virtually unchanged from the IPO price.
As far as I know, it has the same price, and effects on the market, as any other transaction...
If you intend to be responsive to news and intraday price moves, for foreign stocks these will often happen while you're asleep (e.g. the Tokyo Stock Exchange opens at roughly midnight UK time).
The ex-dividend date, prevents this, but people are still able to do this and this is an investment strategy. There are some illiquid and immature markets where prices don't adjust.  In the options market people are able to find mispriced deep in the money calls to take advantage of the ex-dividend date. It is called dividend capture using covered calls.
You don't have to go through an exchange. That wasn't the problem. It was that the people trading on them wouldn't be willing to take your offer. An exchange can't just list a company. They need that company's consent and the company need's the exchange's consent. I don't know if you're aware of this but that was also an entirely new disaster during Facebook's IPO. Computer glitches didn't help. What you're talking about is a called a secondary market, kind of. Stock exchanges offer those too, especially for options.   That's the typical stock footage you see of guys on wall street yelling and screaming while throwing paper up in the air.
The option is exercised. The option is converted into shares. That is an optional condition in closing that contract, hence why they are called options.
This can be best explained with an example. Bob thinks the price of a stock that Alice has is going to go down by the end of the week, so he borrows a share at $25 from Alice. The current price of the shares are $25 per share. Bob immediately sells the shares to Charlie for $25, it is fair, it is the current market price. A week goes by, and the price does fall to $20. Bob buys a share from David at $20. This is fair, it is the current market value. Then Bob gives the share back to Alice to settle what he borrowed from her, one share. Now, in reality, there is interest charged be Alice on the borrowed value, but to keep it simple, we'll say she was a friend and it was a zero interest loan. So then Bob was able to sell something he didn't own for $25 and return it spending $20 to buy it, settling his loan and making $5 in the transaction. It is the selling to Charlie and buying from David (or even Charlie later, if he decided to dump the shares), without having invested any of your own money that earns the profit.
First - Google's snapshot -  Then - Yahoo -  I took these snapshots because they will not exist on line after the market opens, and without this context, your question won't make sense. With the two snapshots you can see, Yahoo shows the after hours trades and not just the official market close for the day. The amount it's down is exactly tracked from the close shown on Google. Now you know.
This point stands. It's an accurate description.   However, for clarity, they're not skimming money off your order in the traditional sense. They see your order, beat you to the punch, and place their own. They then sell it back to you at a higher price. Think brute force for the stock market.
Thank you for replying. I'm not sure I totally follow though, aren't you totally at mercy of the liquidity in the stock? I guess I'm havinga hard time visualizing the value a human can add as opposed to say vwapping it or something. I can accept that you're right, just having a difficult time picturing it
