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.

The "vix" in the stock market

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

A few of the guys I day traded with would watch it, just as one indicator among many. A lot depends upon the time frame of your trading.

I used to work at a place that ran a 2-week school for day traders. Most of what we taught involved the things to not do, like the common newbie mistakes.

One good thing to remember about indicators is that almost all of them use past prices as part of the calculation. New guys tend to think that they are all magic ways to see the future. But if price is part of it, then you're looking at the past, not the future. An experienced trader who just reads price action can know everything that 101 indicators can tell you, because they are based upon the same price movement.

It's a CBOE index option, so would check out the CBOE webpage, www.cboe.com. Put "vix" in the search window and get tons of info. As far as trading strategies, I'm sure there are many there and elsewhere. I have not traded the index or used it myself.

My mentor told me the vix is what keeps the rich from losing.

Being rich is what keeps the rich from losing.

Most intraday trading is now automated. Computers don't have emotions; most trading programs will buy when price dips quickly and sell when price jumps up quickly. That's the exact opposite of human nature. When it was just humans doing the trading, we had a lot more intraday volatility.
 

“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.
