"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Hey do any of u guys know of any online broker account along the lines of etrade and sharebuilder that do not require a minimum cash account ?:rockon:
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Every broker will have some minimum to at least open the account.

E-Trade and the typical online brokers are robbing you on fills and executions. mb trading and interactive brokers are two popular brokers to check out. There's a large list with reviews here:

You need some hand holding if you think etrade is a good broker. Go to elitrader.com and start a thread that says 'I think etrade is a good broker.' It will be a laff riot.

They execute your order away from the market and take a spread on it. You aren't aware of how much money they are costing you in bad fills.

I really think that anybody forced to adapt to the E-trade platform via merger from another brokerage would run in a flash. If the fees don't get you, the commissions will. And not to mention the poor fills. I have NO IDEA how E-trade managed to get 4.7 million accounts, goes to show you the stupidity of the average investor.

E-trade is one of the worst

Etrade (is) a joke

Good luck with your trading. I am happy for you if it is going well. But regardless, etrade sucks.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

And of those 4.7 million, about 4.2 million probably have no business buying individual stocks anyway. Going to a better broker is going to be an exercise of penny-wise, and pound-foolish for 90% of people.

The average individual is better off with index mutual funds IMO. For what its worth, Warren Buffet is of the same opinion.
