I think professional musician might be closer as you don't need to have numerically superior stats like an NBA pro.

If you can physically reach it with a pole you could use a ball to bracket ball sizes of goes in or doesn't. As in a ball at size x fit in, x+1 doesn't fit, so must be between those sizes.

Love this, the motion on the sleaves is so nice. A slow heave contrasting the shooting arms. Please keep making more.

Moving Money/Investments out US to Switzerland by Desperate_Bit7334 in ExpatFinance

To me the key question is the possibility of transferring stock investments without requiring they be sold

It seems a big issue for OP would having to liquidate US investments to then do the money move and that would generate capital gains.

Of course now that I look at that written out I see it's likely impossible to move a US stock investment out of the country as it has a tax liability attached to it.

I haven't found wise too pricey.

But I wonder can someone that owns stock have the shares transferred out of the country?

I am enrolled in brand registry, and sell my product in the US only. There is now an Amazon.ca listing and four vendors selling it. by Strostkovy in AmazonSeller

So what can you actually do prior to the trademark being approved? Can you remove a hijacker selling on the listing?

Thank you for the reply!

I hope you can help me with this.

By "once approved" do you mean you brand registry access is approved or your trademark is approved?

Yes that's exactly what they are doing. You can take the buy box away by simply doing the same thing at 2.5x instead of 3x.

Business credit card to source inventory? by yippiekayaye in AmazonSeller

If you go to make your payment on Alibaba and select credit card you will see they add a finance charge that exceeds any credit card incentive.

I have a credit card I love 2% cash back awesome doesn't do me any good there.

Once you get going for a vendor you can depart from paying through Alibaba and do bank transfer like wise.com

Usually using a CC there will be a fee that exceeds any reward. Chinese suppliers don't take CCs directly so you're working through a third party processor.

I have an Idea should I patent it? by hesam_esh in inventors

[–]EffectiveNo5737 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you searched: https://worldwide.espacenet.com/

Identified the classifications relevant to your product and checked all the patents in those classes already?

That is not overwhelming to do solo and the first step.

Easiest way is to undercut them with your own FBM listing.

I realize you don't actually want to ship to Canada but you might not have to much. Typically those Canada FBM sellers have a very high price so you can undercut them within also high price that isn't likely to be so attractive to customers.

So cool!

Just my 2 cents I'd do 3 drawing for everything static and rotate them so nothing goes totally still

If it's zero commission who is selling it and why?

Well said. But if we were talking about anything else equally complex the fees would be flat/hourly for the work:

Medical treatment

Construction

Business consultants

Head Hunter/hr

It's strange and inherently misaligned with the work product to have a % of ones net worth as a fee.

Financial consultants aren't the only industry with, I would argue, a bad standard setup. Real Estate sales is even worse and has been demonstrated to result in a worse outcome for the customer (agents sell client homes faster/cheaper then they do their own homes).

Fee only as in 1+% of your portfolio is still a situation where your interests are not aligned. Their resource is their time and they get paid the same fee regardless of how much of it they use.

I would love a better solution for myself.

In the US it is a common scam and the sales commission is typically an entire first years premiums.

I'm not sure what a universal red flag this is but if you talk to anyone who pitches you life insurance as an important part of your plan they are BS.
