“The 22 Rules That Turned Me From Invisible to Irresistible With Women… Starting Tonight”
You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

Then I discovered 22 simple rules that rewired my entire dating life. The anxiety vanished. Conversations flowed effortlessly. Women started chasing me for a change.
These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
Facebook a legalized ponzi scheme

"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 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.

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.

"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.

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.

"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.
