global financial crisis - how can we profit? [business thread]

How can people in the online or adult biz profit from this world wide financial meltdown?

How can we stay afloat?

How to profit from a decline?

What products keep selling strong in a downturn? What products are worth dropping until better times return?

Let's discuss!!

Theres tons of ways.... its a perfect time to get into emerging markets shares if you're interested in investing and even real estate.

If you want something more solid to hedge against the downside, Gold is an obvious choice.

Clearly the best way is to promote Broke Amateurs in my sig.

But seriously, I read about a guy who is opening grocery stores that sell expired goods at nearly a 70&#37; discount and he's totally cleaning up.

If you look at some of the most wealthy people throughout history, many made their fortunes in times like this.

Warren Buffet bought a shitload of GE stock, seems like a good move to me.

Actually this is a good thread, if you ignore all the trolls replying in it.

I've been brainstorming this for the last week or so, decided to start building some new mainstream information sites, stuff like safe investments, foreclosure buying, debt consolidation, even survival and food shortage.

You can't profit. Rotschilds & Morgans planned to get richer by ruining millions of others and there is nothing You can do with it. Also Sorós adapted this tactics and he got tons non-government agencies funded by his Open society foundation and all those "fighters for democrupcy" bitch everyday in Sorós-friendly media just to know of primeministers popularity and get back Politicians under Sorós to power.

Now debt consolidation might be a good idea. If you can get financial institutions that will still loan out money to people with debt. BTW Do you know if loan companys actually have or allow affliates.

I've been thinking along your lines, debt consolidation and payday loans in particular. Not really worried about the survival stuff though unless it's basic saving for tards ebooks, things aren't THAT bad no matter how rabidly the media is driving sentiment into the ground. It's a pity someone else didn't start the thread.

Thats the whole point of hedging against the downside. If the economy goes to crap, you gain and if the economy recovers, you gain. WIN WIN.

No-one is dumb enough to put everything in gold. Its usually something youd put 5% - 10% of your cash into if there was a serious risk of adverse conditions such as those we find ourselves in today.

Worth mentioning that October is Indian Wedding season when the gold price traditionally rallies by around 10% so theres some additional upside in the short term.

Online advertising will continue to grow overall (and to a point) as advertisers move ever more scarce advertising dollars away from expensive traditional media and into cheaper online campaigns. Also when oil prices start to rise again because of actual tangible dwindling production you'll have more people telecommuting and spending more time online in a year or five depending on how long this slowdown has delayed things.. Whether they've got enough money to spend will be another thing, but I do still see overall growth in time spent online.

Shares of Yahoo decline on Web ad market worries
Wednesday October 8, 8:28 pm ET
Shares of Yahoo sink as analysts forecast slowdown in Web display advertising

SEATTLE (AP) -- Shares of Yahoo Inc. slid Wednesday after analysts said worse-than-expected conditions in the display Web advertising market will make for a tough finish to 2008 for the Web portal and search company.

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Yahoo's stock fell 82 cents, or 5.6 percent, to $13.76 and earlier hit a five-year low of $13.20. In the past year, Yahoo shares have traded as low as $14.53 and as high as $34.08.

American Technology Research analyst Rob Sanderson wrote in a note to investors that as companies grow more cautious about Web ad spending through the current economic crisis, Yahoo's display advertising business will take a hit.

When people lose their house, cars, get divorced... their depressed. Depression leads to drinking and porn. The economy should do well for porn surfers... problem is too much free! Find the formula to push the average free surfer to pay and you'll make it!

My point is their will be more surfers googling "hot local whore" then ever before. Just need to capatilize... which means compete with the tubes.

Or... open a liquor store

Oh yes it's horrible, instead of 30% growth they will have to make do with 20%. Poor dears. Meanwhile traditional media dreams about merely not growing as much.

"BULLISH growth forecasts of up to 30 per cent for the $1.4 billion online advertising sector next year are being slashed as the big five online publishers and key media buyers admit economic volatility is hitting the business harder than expected.

Online search advertising, dominated by Google, is still expected to exceed 20 per cent, bringing overall growth for online advertising to about 15 per cent for the 2009 fiscal year."

In the short term the AUD/USD is declining so I'm getting more local currency per USD than a month or two ago. I'm hoping we'll get to party like it's 2001 sometime soon, when one US dollar bought more than 2 Australian dollars. Noice! :D

i kinda figured that those businesses that compete with the web and have been haning on by a thin string (print publications, for example) would finally bite the bullet due to this crisis, which would make the web that much more worthy.

porn specifically: i dunno. we are eating ourselves

i think real estate as well as high risk loans that are backed by collateral will be great segments.

traditional credit is going to become scarce. a friend of mine owns many commercial offices. one of his best tenants is a company that loans up to 50&#37; equity on low value homes.

example. a home that is worth $50k that is paid for (there are a lot more of these properties than you would think), this company will give up to a $25k loan at around 18-20% apr.

this company is killing it. they pay my friend his rent in cash and usually pay 2-3 months at a time, ahead of time.

whenever i go to his office, i see 4-6 people at his tenants office either making a payment or taking out a loan.

people come and go all day long.

Is your friend registering mortgages or liens on the property?
I've done this for a few people at around 10-12%.

I'd love to know as well as those interest rates are significantly higher than I've done and I'd like to know how he's doing it ;)

I've been doing the same via 2nd mortgages which are really secure, but by the way you described it, it doesn't sound like he's doing the formality of registering a mortgage, just using the house as standard collateral for non-payers.

Quarter video peepshow arcades are making a comeback......

only 25 cents and the customers provide their own servicing.

Is the goal to ultimately take the home away from borrower? I can't imagine many people who live in a $50K home being able to afford a $25K loan at 20% APR.

He means 50k in equity. If the house is worth $350k and the mortgage still has $300k left to be paid, then the house has $50k in equity.

That's a bit different then. It read as though he was talking about $50K homes being used as collateral which would be even worse than a payday loan for those poor folks.

let me clarify... they can borrow up to 50% of their equity...

however, i think the company will only loan up to $50k, so may house value would be $100k..

and yes, its almost as bad as a payday loan, but payday loans are typically 20% per month i think..

this company lends to higher risk people that dont have the credit to get conventional loans or lines of credit..

i am still learning all the details, but so far they seem to have a very low default rate and their clients seem to borrow only what they can pay back..
