**Plastic Moving Bin Rentals**
Everyone knows moving sucks. The worst part is being stuck with 400 cardboard boxes at the end of your move.
Instead - @benmlevy told me about Gorilla Bins. They dropoff plastic moving bins, & pickem up later.
If you're a college student who wants to pay off all your loans... here's an idea for you:
It takes ~$5k to start and will make ~$30k a year of profit
It won't get you rich, it'll pay for college.
(..and will teach them more about business than they’ll learn in school)

To do that, I think we’ll need $50k in revenue.
The avg move (a 2 bedroom apartment) is $180
To hit our goal, we need do ~5.5 moves per week
How many bins do we need to buy up front?
5.5 moves a week x 50 bins = you need 275 bins. Let’s round up to 300 to be safe.
Ok let’s hop over to @uline to see how much these bins cost
$15 x 300 bins = $4,500 initial startup costs.
Time to beg your parents or a rich aunt to lend you money to get the biz rolling (...or just take $5k of student loan money and invest it here…)
You buy the bin for $15. Each move, you're renting it out for ~$3.50 per bin
~4 moves and it’s paid off.
Over a 2 year lifespan, the bin will get rented out ~100 times, for ~$350 in revenue
That’s a 23x return on investment, per bin!
People waste a ton of time on naming, branding, incorporating. We’re going to do ALL that stuff in an hour, for like < $300.
We want a simple name. Like the moving company Two Guys & A Truck.
Bin Bueno?
The Miami Bin Company?
….wait..
Miami Bin Boyz !
Name is available for $1/mo!
Just type in the name and what it does..and it spits out some logos.
OK it gave us 3 options… I like #2 with the wave logo the best.
I hate overpaying lawyers for basic stuff.
If I'm getting sued. I'll pay top prices.
But for basic legal paperwork? Upcounsel baby.
$300 bucks for something like this.
Such a great business 👏 👏 @XavierHelgesen @SievaKozinsky
We bought 300 bins, and branded them with stickers from @stickermule .
Now we just need customers (aka the hard part)
Well we’re shooting for $50k in revenue
$4,500 for bins
$500 for misc startup costs
~$8k in labor (pickup & dropoff bins) per year
If college costs $30k a year, that leaves you about $7k for a marketing budget.
In most cities, there’s nobody advertising for the keywords “moving bin rental + [cityname]”
eg. miami, the company advertising doesn't even serve Miami!
1) Take this concept and franchise it to students in other college towns
2) add on a moving truck service to increase profits
3) or sell self storage leads to guys like @sweatystartup
For less than < $5k of startup costs, you’ve built a business that will profit >$30k a year.
You’ve paid for college, and probably will learn way more doing this than anything you’ll learn in the classroom.
I break down ideas & businesses like this every week!

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Few are selling 20-25 Rs positional option selling course.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

Already giving more than 2% return in a week. Now I will prefer to sell 32500 call at 74 to make it strangle in equal ratio.
