Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

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:
 

"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.

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.
 

"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.

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.
