How lucrative is working in the online gambling industry?
I have recently finished university and am looking for a job. I have been thinking about working in the online gambling industry and I hear that it is a good industry to work in because the industry is booming and the ladder for money goes up very high and very quickly.
I was wondering if there is anyone within this industry can confirm or tell me otherwise whether this industry is good to work in - I have got an interview as a Markets Operator Trainee to start myself off, and I have been told that once I have 6-12 months experience many more doors will open for jobs higher paid in the industry that require that experience.
Thanks a lot!
PS I am not from US I am from UK where online gambling is extremely legal still :)

What is meant by a "Bucket Shop" in stock market parlance?
I am reading the book by Edwin Lefevre called "Reminiscences of a stock market operator"
Justanian
Question answered by jwishz
An unofficial and usually illegal betting operation in which the prices of stocks and commodities are posted and the customers bet on the rise and fall of prices without actually buying stock, commodities, or commodity futures. Bucket shops are seldom seen today since there are many opportunities to gamble legally on the stock and commodities markets.
What is the difference between a mass market Tour Operator and a Specialist Tour Operator?
And what are a few examples of Tour Operators?

Question answered by Blazenskyy.com
Tour operators are probably more well know in Germany, Europe and the UK where most employees get more than one month of vacation a year in which the vacation market is huge business. Well known companies include Thompson, Tui and Thomas Cook. A mass market tour operator is operating on scales of economies and will try to use their aboundant customers to keep prices down. Their catalogs of vacation destinations look like a old Sears Roebucks catalog.
For a Specialist tour operator their focus is on service and unique destinations for instance skiing.
How do you learn to make money in the stock market?
I just wanna know how does one learn everything they need to know about the stock market. How do you learn about companies? Are there any basics i should know about playing the stock market. Is there a book i can read, a website i can go to, a class at community colleges i can take, etc. I'm an undecided major and it's one of the subjects that i'm really interested in because i think this is something i would be good at.

Question answered by David
With such general questions, it's difficult to help you at all.
First, regardless of subject, your main question is "How do I learn?"
You're in college and don't know this one? You read and study hard, and finally, you learn by doing.
"I just wanna know how does one learn everything ..."
You're still a child, waiting for someone else to GIVE you the answers. You aren't ready to do the work yet. You still actually think someone knows "everything."
"How do you learn about companies?"
Your local library will have a CD you can use that will give you all the info you would want about every company in the U.S., but you probably won't use that information. You should probably be more concerned with their stock price than their book value or earnings ratios. Okay, you're looking for profitable companies with increasing earnings for several quarters, unless you're looking for a stock to short.
"Are there any basics i should know about playing the stock market."
Of course there are, but too many to cite here.
Lesson #1: there are three directions to any market, not just one.
If you want to "play the stock market," then you're probably talking about "trading," and not "investing." You have to be specific, or you will get nowhere.
"I'm an undecided major ..."
Yes, and you will remain that way until you define your terms, do the work required of you, and stop waiting on someone else to give you everything. Don't allow your future to just happen; take a hold of it; it's yours. Go to any college and ask for a free aptitude test.
"it's one of the subjects that i'm really interested in because i think this is something i would be good at." Really? What makes you think so? Have you made money trading? Don't live your life fooling yourself. Don't make silly statements you can't corroborate. You're lying to yourself; completely directionless. You don't have the initiative to get started, let alone have a clue about anything, or something " i would be good at." Your general-ness is killing you.
If you're thinking about trading, you should know that 90% of all traders lose their money. Those are pretty long odds Where will you get the startup capital? You'll need a minimum balance of $25,000 for a Day Trading account.
"Is there a book i can read, a website i can go to, a class at community colleges i can take, etc"
Zero initiative: these are things you can check on your own quickly, but again, you expect someone else to give you the answers. There is no one course, or book, or website or seminar that will make you rich or teach you "everything." Life or trading is an ongoing process of learning for the rest of your life. You're not ready to do the work in order to learn; you're still waiting.
Come back here when you've done something on your own, and ask a specific question.

Probably George Soros shorting the British Pound, and gaining about $1 billion. He almost broke he Bank of London. They came to him on their knees, begging him not to short any more Pound Sterling. But it was a series of shorts, not just one trade.
Read the book by one of the most famous traders in history, another famous short seller; Jesse Livermore, written under a pen name.

What is the best way to learn about the stock market?
I would like to learn pretty much everything there is to know about the stock market. It feels overwhelming, but I don't know crap about it. What are some good resources either online or in print? I eventually want to start investing in the stock market, but that is way down the road. Thanks in advance for any advice.

You don't say if you're interested in trading or simply investing for the long-term.
If all you had to do was "learn everything there is to know about the stock market," then most anyone could do it and every disciplined, hard-working trader would be a success.
But the statistics prove that is not the case, because 80% of all traders lose money, and 90% of day traders lose. Doctors and lawyers make the worst traders, because they are used to being able to control their environment. So there is a psychological element to trading that most people never address.
This quote from: Fooled by Randomness, by Nassim Taleb
It certainly takes bravery to remain skeptical, it takes inordinate courage to introspect, to confront oneself, to accept ones limitations. Scientists are seeing more and more evidence that we are specifically designed by mother nature to fool ourselves.
There is no one investment, there is no get rich quick scheme, there is no pot at the end of the rainbow. There is no one book or seminar or secret or answer that will make you successful.
Most novices focus on how much money they can make, which is basakwards to what they should be doing. If you focus on risk control and money management, you might stick around to play the game another day.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a market economy?
I need to write a speech on why a market economy is a bad idea.

Question answered by Charles C
There was a time, before 1984, when only AT&T could sell long-distance telephone service because other operators couldn’t get fair access to local carriage. That ended when a federal judge rule that AT&T had to grant access to the local loop to anyone who wanted to sell long-distance services. Within three years, the price of a long-distance call went from $3.00 a minute to $.30 a minute and now it’s $.03 a minute because the market was opened.

Does Apple make different iphones for US and European market?
If my iphone bought in the USA will not work with European SIM cards, then how Iphone could be used in Europe and elsewhere (with Sim cards of local operators)? This would mean that Apple makes different types of Iphones for different parts of the world? Is it right?

Question answered by jwenting
Your phone is almost certainly SIM-locked, meaning it will not work with any SIM card not issued by your home network.
That's the way most phones are sold, especially the discounted ones you get with subscription plans.
It's a software feature, and can be removed if you have the right tools, but doing so is a breach of contract with your provider while the contract lasts (usually 2 years for new phones).
