Get rich quick schemes and the fools who fall for them. Oh well. Useful data here and there, but you tend to have be careful where you put your faith when it comes to your hoop. Somehow I'm guessing this has something to do the the chapter on money laundering with fake SINs. The key to that is to not use your primary or secondary in said endevoure. Corps and Cops catch on quick to such blatant foolishness. Cheers to your new found retirement chum. Ghost be with you.

Thanks, Gus! But it's not "Get Rich Quick", although there are a few in there. Most of it is designed for long-term investments that will allow for a Runner to pay for the routine expenses, and thus the big money to go to parties and such.

I wrote this when I (semi-)retired and in Winnipeg.

I'm back in action, but figured that shouldn't stop me from selling the book, yaknow?

Admittedly, not everything in the book is useable by everyone (Freely admitted in the preface!), but it's all on the up-and-up and completely legal in the UCAS and CAS. And, if anything, will help to shore up Fake SINs with a bit more confirmable history.

I'm not promising miracles or big riches, just decent rewards and an increase in profit. Always good things in Shadowrunner's minds, eh?

Even Hoodies like 'em, as it gives more to the charities.

And I'm investigating why Inmate #4772863 is so angry at me. Contact me via this board if you have info. PRIVATELY, mind you. I don't really need my dirty laundry aired, if you don't mind. ;-)

People born in the last 40 years might find this surprising, but it used to be standard for bank accounts of less than five million yen to generate interest. And if you think about it for half a second, it makes sense that they would. After all, every minute your money is stored in the bank, the bank is actually re-investing your cash into corporate projects and keeping the profits for themselves. And all they promise in return is that enough money is passing through their fingers at any given moment that any time you need to spend some of your money, that they'll have someone's money for you to use.

In the early twenty-first century the banks of the world trained the hard working corporate drones to think of the fact that banks were using modern electronic transfer techniques to get them their money in a timely fashion as a service - as if the banks weren't cashing in on the other end with the same transfer methods. And so it was that an entire generation of consumers grew up with the expectation that their money was going to stay the same size in bank accounts.

Actually getting interest-based returns is really hard. And the stock market's trademark of over-reaction to good and bad news is basically designed to print money for the large investor at the expense of the small investor (if you are throwing less than 8 figures around, this is you).

Oh well. At least the world-wide 40% real unemployment rate is deflationary. You could keep nuyen under your mattress and the real buying power would go up in six month's time.

I had a little sneak peak at the book and it seems good, though I'll freely admit to not understanding all of it, but for those of us over here from across the pond I'd recomend it. Never underestimate the differences over here chummers, we may be used to the Oslo Black Exchange, the ECB's fiddling and Swiss Banks but no matter how sofisticated you think you are a EuroRunner in Amreica isn't goign to last a oment if they dont whistle the local tune.

Anyway this handy little book aught to keep you form makign some of the mistakes I made.

I'm working with an online Chummer of mine to put out a European one. And have been approached about an Asian one as well.

Inmate #4772863 is at the Hollywood Correctional Facility, a human by the name of "Walton Forbes". He's in for Fraud, Tax Evasion, and Resisting Arrest With A Lethal Weapon (Wine Bottle). He was put away during the time I was on my Honeymoon, and I've never met him.

Investigation still ongoing.

Eh Murph, glad you found the forum!

OK, folks, finally got the Scoop on Mister Numbers here. He "Borrowed" a cyberterminal when Mr. Forbes was taking a bio-break.

The guy is a former... Employee of mine that I... "Let go", shall we say.

Seems that "No Casualties" means "Torch a fraggin' orphanage" in his mind.

So, I decided to be matchmaker, and got him a nice Husband. It was a beautiful wedding, when the ring was tattooed on.

I was going to give him my typical anniversary gift, but this year, he'll have to go without his big jug of Hoop Lube.

It's a wonderful book with many interesting hints and facts. I have a copy of it in my library.

The real interesting part is the last page... the one that says the sureest way to make money, is to write a book on how to make money.
