"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.

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
many traders/investors short the market
sometimes the down moves are very fast for quick profit.

Unless you read it wrong. I trade Forex. Its already random enough. The stock market?? Forget about it. Especially with the commissions involved and the unpredictable fluctuations now.hobokeni said:buy and hold is not the only way

Some of us don't have 40 years to wait for this to happen :crackup:
short term traders historically have the least return on the investment in the long run when compared to any other type of investor ( U cal Berkley study if anyone cares...too lazy to dig up the research) including people who put their money into mutual funds.speakeasy said:I wish I was good at this stuff.

you could've bought BAC when it was at 3 back in Feb and today it hit 15. 5 bagger. even if you bought last Monday, it was at 12. 25% gain in a weekWiesman44 said:Some of us don't have 40 years to wait for this to happen :crackup:
I don't give a fvck if it hits 50 or not, which it will when the economy gets healthy, but I'll be surprised if it doesn't hit 30 by next year. 100% gain is fine with me
easy money if you're not daytrading
"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.

Which is why the price is taking a dive. But it depends if you're a long term investor or short term. Also, BAC is pretty overvalued.hobokeni said:This is not time to buy

Now dont think its that easy and please dont take what I said as bragging. Trust me ive lost plenty of money in the market before I started making it. Ive been trading since I was 15, am now 35, and the first 3 times I put money into an account, I lost it all. You just need to get experience. But like I said it can be done.
Anyway, if you need any advice or help, let me know. I can always point out some things. Or if you want in my stock group, let me know as well.
1. If you're in college right now, take Financial Markets at your econ department. At some schools it's called Money and Banking. I thought I knew about markets going in, and then I realized that I still have a lot more to learn.
2. Read Fooled by Randomness.
3. If you're serious about making this into a profession, head over to the forum Wall Street Oasis. There's lots of crap on the internet about investments or trying to get a job as a finance professional, but those guys are very legit. In my opinion, I'd highly recommend getting a job at a proprietary trading firm like Optiver, First New York, ect., or the sales & trading desk of an investment bank than working at a chop shop or trading your own capital (unless you REALLY know what you are doing and aren't just plain lucky).
I wanted to jump in but everyone says get a feel for it first so I'm only paper trading although I did use the amount of money I had in the bank to buy in instead of the $100,000 they give you. For my first stock, I just took Warren Buffet's info on buy what you know.

that was kinda lucky considering the lack of fundamental analysis I did but Now I got how to read stocks and chart on them and alla that good stuff.
To the OP, as for shorting the market. If you know something I don't go for it, but to my knowledge it is a bull summer and coming off the best continuous period in the last year...
"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.

great bookEvzone said:2. Read Fooled by Randomness.
yeah, I don't get the insistence on shorting either, unless maybe you're daytrading or know a specific industry that's going down. it's gonna be a bull summer with a few pullbacksmacallik said:To the OP, as for shorting the market.

personally I think if you're doing long term and willing to hold for a couple years if you have to, this sht is not all that complicated. I put myself through grad school by playing semi equipment: AMAT and KLAC. Before the recession, AMAT cycled between 15 and 20 and KLAC between 30 and 50. Why? Because of this thing called Moore's Law that refreshed the product cycle for semis every 16 months and the fact both companies have stable market share. That's all I had to know and I bought and sold accordingly
AAPL is releasing a tablet in September (other OEM's put their tablets on hold because they're scared) and everyone knows how good AAPL is creating market share out of thin air. If that tablet catches on, that stock is rising. If it doesn't, that stock is still rising because the economy is getting better
As for BAC, common sense tells me financials will rise as the economy gets better. If BAC, with govt intervention, new leadership, and new assets, takes 40 years to hit 50, that means China took over as the world hegemony and we're all screwed. And if you wanna talk about stock being overvalued, GOOG has been overvalued for the past half a decade
Oh yea? I saw a story on CNBC yesterday about how tablets are being introduced for free in a handful popular universities across the country, and how they end up saving students 30-50% on their books. The idea of tablets selling well does make the assumption that Americans have a predisposition to reading that I don't quite agree with but I'll have to keep an eye out on the situation sommore...ready123 said:AAPL is releasing a tablet in September (other OEM's put their tablets on hold because they're scared) and everyone knows how good AAPL is creating market share out of thin air.

The reason I was attracted to AAPL was the market share as well as how they run shop. They aren't content with their product being first... instead they want their product to be first, last year's model to be 2nd and the spin-off product to be third like they did with their IPods. And the marketing campaign against Microsoft has definitely made them the popular trendier company in the computer world. Right now, anything with the AAPL symbol in it can sell itself.
In the phone world there seems to be more competition. Like where i'm from, blackberry msngr is the sh!t. Everyone got their pin's on fb and it is like an exclusive club thing that the whole hood is involved in. However, the newer phones may offer better technical specs or programs, but they don't have the power behind the name that AAPL does. The average consumer doesn't care that Google's phone is more powerful or that the new Palm Pre is gonna be something to marvel, they want the phone their friend has at a cheap price and AAPL is doin that.
Not likely. The iPhone is a premium product.macallik said:they want the phone their friend has at a cheap price and AAPL is doin that.
