"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.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Sharebuilder is good in that you don't need have to have an account minimum and they don't charge fees if you don't have a minimum. They're good if your justwanting to invest a fixed amount on a periodic basis, and they only charge $4 for that. But if you want to do more active trading they charge $9.95 so it's not that cheap.

which broker is best I guess depends on what you want to do. I don't think it's a good time to invest in stocks. You won't be making money anytime soon.
 

"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.

What's the best place for ETFs?
I think they work the same way as buying stocks so which ever's best for stocks should be best for ETFs as well. We just need some people to list the fees and their experience with online brokers.

That reminds me, Sharebuilder doesn't broker for very many mutual funds if any but their select few. Also they charge 4.95 to instantly transfer money out of your personal bank account to buy a real-time trade, so it's $9.95+$4.95=$14.95 for a trade, not $4. You can transfer money free into or out of your account but it takes till the next day.

I haven't used Vanguard yet, but talked to some endowment investors that like it.

Check out Computer Share they have some Direct Purchase plans as well as regular trading.

Stocks are too risky. Look into Vanguard...low expense-ratio mutual funds.
LOL @ this dipsh#t.

He did not ask for your expert stock advice, he asked about brokers. I am a professional trader (futures), but I do use scottrade for long term investments. You can purchase mutual funds there if you want (like vanguard).


Oh, and listen, risk is all relative. Mutual funds suitability is relative to each person. If you enjoy underperforming the indexes year after year, choose mutual funds, LOL.
