"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.

"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.

yup, fvck man, I got reamed the next morning couldn't sell cause it dropped so fast. good thing I didn't wager that much. I'm still losing my as5 on everything I've traded this week except UVXY and Gluu. Just increased position in QPSA this morning. Should go to $5. I'm betting on interest rates rising too. Don't know when, but it will. That's where I've been hit the most. Bonds suck, but the Fed keeps buying them with our money. Inflation should be skyrocketing, but due to Euro falling (which increases (deflation) our dollar), inflation is being offset by the failure of another currency. Of course, when that finally falls, all nations will most likely turn their focus to Us, and our credibility, and may stop using our currency as a safe haven or to purchase oil. If/when that happens, look out below, we fvcked.Ken785 said:RARS - Ouch!...you gotta be crying now

hmm, very riskyKen785 said:
Just bought CEDC. I'm trying to fight my way back from 20% in losses (not realized on 50% of the total though) on the year.

Imo... RARS was way more risky... You just gotta trade it. Don't invest in pennies!!Poonani Maker said:
Get in...make a percentage... Get out. That's the name of the game. Sometimes ill buy in on a stock and sell it the same day...:yes:
"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.
And day trading is so 1988. Every cool unemployed dude had the number of his broker memorized. It was part of his mantra. "I am not a loser because I have a broker". I blame that B.S. film "Wall Street" for the mayhem. Only good thing from that movie was...Ken785 said:

Maybe the "calling your broker" thing may be something from 1988, but now, most 90% of all trading is done by computer bro.BigJimbo said:

I will private msg you, ken, about a pick, I got stopped out of CEDC for another loss (a string of 5% losses over the last few weeks, really painful. I have a pick though that I entered today, that I think will make me money, don't want to share here. Just a sec.Ken785 said:
"never enter the market withoutn an exit stategy". Only a fool is in any stock without a 10% stop loss order being in place. He's also always got 1-2 more stocks that are unrelated to the first one in any way, and which have good fundamentals and whose charts look promising.

wow...RARS and ATRN went BOOOOMM today!!
"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.

Yea, ditto, and I always use/flip through about 8 sites but the main ones are StockCharts.com, Yahoo Finance, ZeroHedge.com (for my "fear" news, a lot of it valid, deep and technical though somewhat conspiratorial and gold-buggish), and a handful of others. It may be wise to do a TVIX or UVXY play next week. This market is sounding the alarms, looking very bearish, with half the distance or more to still continue going down IF the market decides to take it that way, and IF the fed/ECB don't step in and intervene with heavy-handed QE3. You just don't know what manipulation will enter in or when it will enter in. If there wasn't outside tinkering (government risk, as it's called), your decision-making wouldn't be so clouded. There's from day-to-day, week-to-week, too many "surprises" that are either headfakes or Real that can change the direction of your holdings on a dime, EVEN though nothing has really Changed in the last 24 hours beyond investor sentiment. This is why it's a casino online, basically, and a broken financial system. They should do away with investment bankers being able to see and Act on our orders as our (small retail investor's) orders are being placed. This should absolutely be Illegal! but it won't be cause we all know who lines our (corrupt) politicians' pockets and buys their votes and every move, that's right, BIG money, big money campaign contributions i.e. bribes and payoffs.Ken785 said:
