It never did break that resistance at 34. Now it might be a while 
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
Facebook a legalized ponzi scheme

"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.

"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.

I think it's going to be back once Facebook figures out how to do mobile marketing. I mostly use FB from my iPhone and to this day there are still no ads either from Safari or from the FB app. Between their mobile ad issues and their bad press from losing GM, it's easy to see why the stock dropped.
its also severely overpriced, and given that a ton more shares are planning on entering the market, this will dilute the actual value even more. A good price for FB is still < 10, which I bet it will go to once people realize that revenue from advertising won't bring much in. Now if only they can think of another technique to bring in some money...

Tomorrow, you should be able to make 5% buying FB, but lock in your profits, don't hold! If my price I'm looking for gets hit, I may buy, although I said I'd Never buy FB. I'm a trader, though, not an investor. I don't care how sh!t the company really is, I just wanna scalp and get the fvck out.
"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.
Greed works in mysterious ways. Despite a known business plan that was shaky at best, despite an arrogant punk of a CEO who publicly said he didn't care about his share price, the sheeple just had to have a piece of Facebook. No matter what. GOTTA have a piece of that action. People were climbing over each other to get in line for it. Like the saying goes, a fool and his money are soon parted. And bankers ain't no fools.

I would have possibly bought FB today if it had moved up a percent or 2 first, but it dropped quite nicely. Not touchin it, still has aways to fall. $7 is about fair bottom price. Right now it's bouncing like a ball, where the bounces get smaller and smaller as gravity has it's way.

...and another new low, $18.11 as I type this.
When you see a stock open down on bad news, and then continue to go down during the course of the day like FB did all day, that's extra bad. It means the bad news has not been fully priced into the stock yet and the falling isn't over. Buying into bad news is not an especially horrible trading strategy, but with a dog like FB, the bad news just never stops coming.

Personally, I would never invest in Facebook.
And by that I mean from today onwards. Sure, if I had a time machine and could go back to before it was massive then of course I'd jump onboard it.
But Facebook today as a company trading on the stockmarket doesn't make rational sense.
It approximately has 1 billion users. Look at its current profit figure for now and the maximum it could possibly grow if they gained 100% market share and the entire world was on facebook is only 6-7 times greater than what it is now.
Compare this to the amount of times it has already grown. Say for example, if you invested when it had 1000 members and it has multipled thousands of times since then. Your ROI would be much greater then as it is now priced (overpriced on IPO) for a customer base of 1 Billion.
Furthermore, how long will facebook last?
In ten years will facebook still be around? Maybe, we don't really know. Will Coca Cola be around in 10 years? 99% likely
compared to other investments Facebook has a high chance of not surviving long term.
Look at the decline of myspace, msn or any other website.
It's not a legalized ponzi scheme, it's just not a smart investment

This is a Lie..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjhK21FR9Us
Zuckerberg has SOLD $1 BILLION worth of FB shares 12 weeks ago i.e. NOT "holding on" like he "said" he was..you can look it up at the SEC website.
So many fvckin lies in the media guys or "journalists" who don't do a lick of research.

Facebook's current valuation is now over $200bn.
Take note of all the "experts" in this thread who were writing it off as a bad investment.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
