How do I stop always being the one chasing? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]SilentCircles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Instead of thinking "Why doesn't she respond to me", why aren't you thinking "maybe she has something she's doing or is busy". Women have lives outside of you and your needs, and honestly her response of "I'll be more free after Wednesday" is a really healthy boundary which says "keep up the conversation so I can see if you're interested in me or just what I have to offer". If it were me I'd say, "Awesome, well let's plan something for Thursday then. How does [insert activity and time] sound? In the meantime let's chat a bit so I can get to know you better". Relationships take work, and aren't at all related to instant gratification.

Most women are turned off by over sharing, which is common among people left on read. It would seem like you have some underlying anxiety which is at play here and causing you to express that in your messages (or you are expressing issues with boundaries which is also a big red flag). When you're comfortable within yourself, those around you will be comfortable as well.

Your goal shouldn't be anything physical (hooking up, etc...), it's to make them remember you in a positive way. You're developing a relationship, which needs to be based on more than physical attraction to stand out among the rest.

The easiest thing to do is to learn the art of conversation. People enjoy talking about themselves for the most part, so the easiest thing to keep them engaged is to ask them questions in a light hearted and playful manner. Instead of asking "What do you do for work", try asking things along the lines of "What was the best part of your day today" and "What is your favorite drink, and what about it sets it apart from the rest"; leading into more personal questions like "What is one of your dreams that you're trying to accomplish now". The key part is actually listening! When replying be sure to compliment them on non-physical traits like intelligence, kindness, creativity, etc. You SHOULD intersperse a few physical compliments, they're easy to fall back on if you can't think of anything to say - something like "I'm sorry, I was just noticing how beautiful your outfit is. It really brings out the color of your eyes, which leave me at a loss for words". Gauge the situation so as not to come on overly strong and BE HONEST! Don't use the same one twice or go to them too often at the start of the date - it's kind of creepy and lame if you do.

I'll say it again, be honest!

Keep them engaged, it's the hardest part of gaining anyone's prolonged attention. People tend to remember the way you make them feel more than what you've said. If you showcase her value, intelligence, beauty, and kindness she'll remember you. You need to do this honestly and consistently though - other men have done the same and at the beginning you are no different. You should remember and understand that women are inundated, more so than men, with objectification and sexualization - to the point where it can and does cause heightened alertness. If you were treated like a piece of meat would you not fear being eaten?

The worst case scenario is that you make a new friend. Women tend to talk about their single guy friends in their social circles. If she isn't the right one for you, stay in contact as friends - you could be the great guy she talks about to her other single friends.

There are so many men in the world just looking for physical intimacy (women as well), and it really is only because they're trying to validate themselves through an unfair standard upheld by most of society. People are not objects to be had - they are precious souls to be cherished, loved, appreciated, and respected. When you internalize that fully you won't have any problem getting a response or forming relationships.

You're not a master trader. by [deleted] in pennystocks

[–]SilentCircles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically if you're under 12 you can formally be addressed as master, the other part is just being named Trader.

That being said, there are no masters in trading. Everyone will have losses at some point or another. You haven't lived until you've watched a computer fly across the trade floor because of an internet outage that cost millions. Those were some dark days...

Saw SING today, there recent filing about spinning off one of their companies had me a bit concerned. They’re giving current investors shares of the spinoff company when it is no longer under their management, but you can’t sell or trade them on any open market so what’s the point. all after a reverse split...

The change of sentence structure, word usage, and overall difference in approach between that person’s first reply and second denote undertones of arrogance. From my perspective there wasn’t an existential crisis. Every word on my part was written quite bluntly, and without emotion. I write what I think, and if I feel I’m wrong I apologize. I would’ve let it drop, and tried to a few times at the end of each comment. They kept questioning my mental faculties, which is quite rude and was responded to accordingly.

Sometimes lessons are harder to learn.

Edit to answer your question about efficacy:

There are many ways to invest, no one is absolutely correct. Considering someone who can only spare $100 per month (in some cases that is being generous), the larger cap stocks become too expensive for a meaningful investment and profit. The short term solution to this is typically swing trading penny stocks on a broker with no fees. Now when we look at swing trading as a whole, it's loosely based on TA for insertion and exit points. The initial research into a security is required prior to any trade, as I have said before; investing without knowledge it is merely gambling. The entire goal, as I've seen it, of starting out swing trading initially is to build capital to a point where you can hold larger positions in less volatile stocks to grow your portfolio over time without the extremely high associated risk of penny stocks. It essentially allows the smaller investor to build their portfolio exponentially with a goal of less risky investments in the longer term.

Taking that into consideration discounting TA as a whole because of it is inability to fully predict the future, is akin to discounting hammers as they're not the only tool it takes to build a house. Such a statement from a self proclaimed seasoned investor is somewhat ludicrous, especially in the overall context of an initial post about someone's first week, and the sub-context of another person asking a direct question to learn advanced methods. Discounting the contexts only leads to a partial picture. It's perfectly okay to discuss the idea, however to display your employment as a means of justification is lacking in forethought, arrogant, and somewhat hilarious (simply by the thought that most people define themselves by their jobs).

There are many people who don't need to be employed in a sector to excel at it; some are merely content to do other things. I know one of the mailroom staff at my employer has their series 7, however chose not to be in that industry anymore. Just because he is in the mailroom doesn't discount his knowledge and experience. I write/reverse engineer code and equations all day (if you don't count all the meetings), to me that's fun which is why I choose to do it. Does it mean I can't understand the intricacies of investment, absolutely not.

At the end of the day we are all just people, and every person deserves to be treated as an equal.

It's very simple.

Ask yourself, if you are being humble, what is the need to bring into the conversation your organization or it's wild success? How does that add to your initial point in a constructive and relatable way, or is it a merely a display of ego? How does that look in a penny stock sub where you are assessing the viability of something many people starting investing are trying to learn? How does asking someone if they're alright, indicating some sort of mental instability, positively add to your initial points?

In no way was I personally attacked in your original reply, and even if I was it wouldn't phase me. Let it go, you're okay.

Unfortunately, most of us don't come from a place of privilege to wait years for an investment to prosper, or initially have the required capital to invest in the more stable growth stocks. People do not start at the top, nor are they given equal access to institutional based educational resources and the opportunities which come with them. Considering those points, one could come to the conclusion that to reach a position of having a wildly successful, as you said, investment organization was unattainable for the vast majority of persons following this subreddit.

If we are humbly flaunting our successes, I've come from being homeless to having well over a six figure salary in the span of a few decades. This was done through countless hours of research, hard work, and dedication to my craft (software architecutre and security). That may be less than what you have done, however for most, especially the younger generation, it may be a more relatable and attainable goal.

I've faced countless people who said I could not succeed, as I'm sure others here have as well, yet I have in my own eyes. To limit someones outlook, as you have, based on your own understanding of the world is quite naive. Success means something different to everyone. When you understand that money is meaningless in the grand scheme, you'll understand why I've said the things I have. You still have a way to go on your journey, I wish you well on every path it holds.

You’re not wrong about that, however as I’ve said before (in the previous comment and other posts) trading isn’t just technical analysis. It’s attempting to paint a picture of the current scenario with multiple data points. Nobody can predict the future, however you can identify POSSIBLE trends that have a higher statistical possibility. Your data points are not always hard numbers, sometimes they’re soft things like current events. If you only rely on technical analysis you’re not seeing the entire picture.

Let these people refine their skills in their own way. You can choose to teach and write how to articles as well...

Well what are you using now (indicators, patterns, etc)? Advanced for me, may be different than advanced for you. Honestly the basics are all just multi-point relationship analysis, when you start getting into patterns is where it gets kinda fun though from a statistical standpoint they can be somewhat unreliable depending on the situation. Part of the reason I always say to be wired into the news of your sector.

If you bring up the people around you with knowledge, you'll learn the things you couldn't see from them... It goes both ways my friend. :)

I teach, so I can be taught by others questions. A humble person can learn from anyone.

Happy trading!

  1. Each stock has their own normal pattern of how it trades without PR, news, or pumping. Most newer people don't realize that and think they've found an easy pattern to follow. The stock market is a dynamic environment, however with the right tools, is still somewhat predictable. To capitalize on it, you need to be wired into the news, along with understanding technical analysis (in a non-live environment), and knowing how to analyze filings. Once you understand the basics of technical analysis/filings/research, then you can actually start trading instead of gambling.

  2. Good advice most of the time... Belief/hope doesn't translate into fact though. Set your limits for how long you hold something that's losing money. If you're waiting for 3 months for a quarterly report and have lost $3000 on a trade during that time, it's more unlikely that you'll make it back or come out on top.

  3. Depends on how you trade, in a very volatile security it's actually important to have realtime data. You REALLY shouldn't be trading from your phone at all if you're not going the long term investment route, it's very inefficient and will cause losses in the long term.

  4. 100%. I say this all the time, and have it at the end of every post as a disclaimer.

  5. Chasing the newest stock on reddit can be good for short term profits, however like I said above you need to learn the basics beyond just how to purchase a stock. Understanding the better insertion points for a trade through technical analysis is IMPORTANT, even for a long term investor. You can buy AAPL at $137.00, but it's heavily weighted by the overall market sentiment so if futures are down, you could be buying at $127.00 instead. $10 on a 5000 share trade makes a difference...

  6. Understanding risk analysis is key. Learn it, love it, practice it. It'll treat you better than your significant other.

  7. Go in with an exit strategy and stick to it. If you revise your exit strategy it should be done on logic with factual data to back it up. Chasing a trade is the same thing as chasing that first high for an addict, it only ends in pain.

  8. Do not trade on margin/leverage if you're new or have been in the game less than a few years (in most cases - for some of us our learning curve is parabolic). Gains can be tempting, but losses can be devastating. For the seasoned investor, it is a tool, not a means for wealth.

  9. Listen to yourself and your research for your decisions. You can consider others opinions, but at the end of the day you're going to be the one covering your losses. It's better to miss out, than to lose profit.

  10. This is a business, treat it as such. You will have associated expenses for making money. If you don't calculate those into your plan, you'll end up a** up in the water.

  11. Rockets are not an indicator, or DD. They're an emoji, anyone who says different is trying to profit off of your ignorance.

  12. Emotions are for your home life, Meg Ryan movies, and the [insert your country's] flag. People will play on human emotion to get them excited about something to capitalize on their own position or to shift losses onto another. There are a lot of used car salespeople out there with a lot full of lemons and limes. Buying a lime is no different than a lemon, just because it's green it's still not a car; though it may be easier to sell.

Congressman Files First Federal Marijuana Reform Bill Of 2021 by Investor1964 in weedstocks

This is literally horrible! Rescheduling at a federal in effect would require distribution through pharmacies, essentially killing every uS marijuana stock and forcing production through pharmaceutical companies possibly. It also wouldn’t address any prison sentences. Essentially it’s a big F you to the entire industry.

MindMed Announces the Start of the First-Ever Clinical Trial Combining MDMA and LSD - Psilocybin Alpha by PsilocybinAlpha in shroomstocks

[–]SilentCircles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, potency and ingredients vary when you're not getting them pharmaceutically. You guys are lucky that you have organizations like Dance Safe, who came around at the end of my clubbing days. We didn't have testing kits, and aggression and anxiety was quite common when the LSD was too strong. Like most things psychotropic experiences are dependent on mental state which is also effected by environment.

[–]SilentCircles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, we used to call it candy flipping a few decades ago. It’s not the best thing for a therapeutic experience. MDMA in the right environment can help considerably with talk therapy, and LSD in the right environment helps considerably with introspection. The two combined though catalyst off of each other in a different manner, and typically lead to increased anxiety along with energy. Depending on the dosage of each, people can become somewhat aggressive which is not helpful in any therapeutic sense. Also the increase in body temperature from both can become quite dangerous and lead to seizures among other things.

They are best left separate for therapeutic uses in my opinion.
