Lots of folks been waiting for this for a while. But what does it really mean?
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Likely will have a 5% run up to 21,000 after breaking historical resistance and a central milestone. Notwithstanding, I don't chase markets up. I buy in crashes. And with Trump running the showing, volatility is guaranteed, so I'll sit on the sidelines for the next four years waiting for this big dip.

How are you able to time the market?

If I could accurately time the market, I'd play options. You can't time the market with 100% certainty. Though, I have yet to see any U.S. market which has broken historical resistance levels that had not fallen back 20%+ below the resistance level at some point thereafter.
There will always be a crash: '87, '99, '08, and intermittent 20% corrections in between.

So should guys like me continue funding our S&P index funds?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I presume you are already cost-averaged in at much lower entry in your portfolio anyway. So ultimately how much would an extra 20% of your contribution cost you by entering a bit high at today's price?
I take two approaches: (1) Retirement, whereas I invest intermittently regardless of entry point; (2) Investment, whereas I wait for a good entry point (the dip) and exit at former broken resistance levels.
But my equity portfolio is the piker against my real-estate holdings.

There's no point in stopping now.
If you were wanting to establish a large position, waiting for a panic sell-off would be the time. Shots fired in the South China Sea would be the next crisis I'd look for.

Not only that, but as the "funny money" keeps getting printed, the stocks will keep on rising...

The market is thinking that Trump isn't going to be able to pass any trade-restrictive policies like tariffs or repealing nafta. For that to happen, the Republicans would have to like him, and a lot of them don't already. They are going to let him sign off on all the business-friendly Repub agenda, but they're not going to compromise to pass anything remotely populist that he promised.

I'm just glad I continued putting money into investments back during the crash. I am rising like crazy at the moment.
I do expect the correction soon though.

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Fading the gap is a day trading strategy. I'm not sure it works on a multi-day timeframe. The reason it works intraday has to do with the nyse specialist's order volume. If there is bad news overnight, he is going to show up to work with a big basket of sell@mkt@open orders. If you give him a buy at mkt at open order on a day like that, you're his best friend, and he is going to reward that loyalty. Whatever price you pay at the open, it will go up from there, at least for a little while. And it's the opposite for gapping up, you sell short into the open.
The chart above is a breakout, and that is nothing you want to fade. But this exact moment is obviously not the best entry point. There will be a retracement, as taught by Leonardo of Pisa, filius Bonacci, aka The Great Fibonnaci. I had his picture taped on the side of my computer monitor when I was a day trader:

Look at that chart, from the high onward, the bounces it makes are all Fib retracements. 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 are the key levels.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
