Lots of folks been waiting for this for a while. But what does it really mean?
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"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.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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.
