look at how much the naked cowboy in times square makes a year . 150-175k on tips and now commercials .
he was a street performer for tips .
I remember that time I was in Hollywood and I met Anne Margret and she invited me to star with her in Bye Bye Birdie. Oh wait, striking it lucky doesn't happen to everyone, my mistake!

nyc attracts low income workers from all over because of all the perks here .
a public transportation system that takes them all over without the expenses of a car
rent stabilization on 50% of all the housing
subsidized housing of all sorts , everything from low income projects , to affordable housing projects to section 8 .
loads of unskilled jobs with potential for advancement , unlike just the local deli or pizza place .
assisted utility costs
school lunch programs if you are below certain levels
food stamps if you qualify
ethnic neighborhoods that support each other . you go to flushing queens which is a huge chinatown kind of area and as an american many stores charge you more .
the list goes on and on so yes my friend high cost of living areas like nyc do have lots of assistance and benefits for lower incomes too , which is why nyc attracts so much unskilled labor .
you can read the last discussion on dividends if you think that is how they work . it has been discussed enough time at this point .
it is a mis-informed understanding of them if you think you are getting something extra in hand by their payout . you are just moving the existing value of your investment to different pockets putting part of the value in the left pocket and part of the value in the right with no change in value of your investment either way .
This is the Shemitah jubilee year as was the year of the big crash in 1929 .
So that was the big scary Shemitah jujubee you've been talking up on these forums for so long? A year where the stock market gained 1%? This thing you've described as a crash surpassing 2008, economic earthquake, far more catastrophic than the failure of the international monetary system, etc. was proven by a small gain?
You sure do set the bar high to validate your predictions!

I think he may be onto something. It's really simple. Add the digits of the years 2008 and 2016. We get 10 and 18 or simplified 5:9. And what significance is that? Conclusive evidence of an impending crash.
Why? Why is it so difficult to make money via the investment route. Spoke with my Edward Jones guy
today. The market swings leaves nobody untouched!! Last week it seemed either little activity then
today a break even 161 jump still not compensating losses? You either need to do hourly homework
or perhaps daily charting of options, but it takes tenaciousness and time! Back in the day I had American Funds, Templeton, and Fidelity products all doing 10--15 % plus a variable insurance that did 35% return paying off principle and when I cashed it in a downpayment on a condo!!! This is the Shemitah jubilee year as was the year of the big crash in 1929 . Using Shemitah cycles is another mapping many don't get including leaders in finance.
Your problem is that Social Security is going down 25% next year...
