"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.

Maybe you wanna try mutual funds to get your hand in it.

I am a stockbroker and wealth manager.

We are in a rising market so, no one can do wrong.

Mutual Funds are a bunch of stocks put together, growth could be better than the index, risk is usually lower than index... cost of entry is low

Stocks: Maximun possible outcome, maximun risk

Index: Great if you don't wanna beat and just go with the ride, however, you will fall with the rest and usually harder or growth until you cap

Pennies: Don't get in that ****.

However, there is 10 000 mutuals funds, stocks, index funds to chose from. So which one?

It's extremely personal and emotional.... so alot of people who had a bad experience will than go to say the ''market is rigged''... hey like woman! You blame the market if you can't pull good stocks.

You'll have to do your research (collect data) and apply mathematical formulas to predict its ''outcome''... I would advertise go with stuff (sectors) you love or know.

Major financial instutions have high frequencies systems which take control of the ''echanges'' also... yes alot of investors including Warren Buffet have inside informations which they pay for the service. Thus, helping them being ''ahead''

The best thing: give yourself a budget, pick a sector based on your passions, study it, invest slowly

"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.

Ok then, so do any of you have any thoughts about the companies I have mentioned above and what their future is?
Kids don't speculate with individual stocks because we on the outside LACK all of the information that's truly needed to determine if the stock is going up, if it's overpriced right now, etc. We just do not have enough information here on the outside.

- Go to Vanguard and put a portion of your funds in an S&P Index Fund: https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0040&FundIntExt=INT

- Then put another portion of your funds in a Total Bond Market Index Fund: https://personal.vanguard.com/us/funds/snapshot?FundId=0084&FundIntExt=INT

- Then you can do further diversification by putting a portion of your funds in a Real Estate Fund, or a Long Term CD, etc.

- Finally, put a portion of your funds in an Emergency Checking/Savings account that's designed to cover Emergencies.

Note, do not put anything in the Index Funds that you need back out within the next 10 - 15 years. When you put those in, let them ride the roller coaster for 20 - 25 years.
