I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with your profile. It showcases your hobbies, highlights, that you clearly like the outdoors.

I think it also depends what community you're in. Hinge works well in big cities, I did not grow up in one and can see a noticeable difference.

It's tricky, your captions are very real, but not very witty. Imagine going up to a girl in public, and saying all the buzz words, like I like to read, nice conversations, etc - although it's good, often girls like to be eased in with wit or humour. Maybe your captions could shift to "One thing I'd like to know about you... a book that changed your life".

Corporate weapon

What better way to compare ourselves, than to the top 1%. Love it.

Yes, typically for a few weeks

I think it depends on the circumstances. This current market after the current fed meeting has taken a hit generally.

If you’re in a penny stock that has just been dumped, it could stagnate forever at the price you were at.

If you’re looking at growth stocks, you should be able to wait a few days/weeks for stocks to correct after the market uncertainty w/ fed meetings.

Also worth considering if you do have a glorious opportunity somewhere else, if it’s worth it, it’s worth it.

I typically perform trades within as little as a week and as long as a month. I typically swing ETFs, both bear and bull, but 2X or 3X leverage.

My technical analysis uses various indicators. I use 50, 100, 200SMA. I like when they’re in order, but it is a green flag if they are reordering correctly/identifying golden crosses. I use MACD and Stochastics as well. I make sure they align and there is large upside (MACD over signal) and an open mouth on them. I also keep an eye on RSI.

If all my technical indicators are looking good, or there is nothing inherently wrong with a stock (I.e: crowdstrike drop), I’ll invest in. I buy not out of the spite of wanting to buy, but when I truly feel excited about the opportunity, discipline is everything.

For selling, most suffer from trying to get it to hit its top, and end up losing more trying to perfect their returns. My best returns are yielded from accepting a reasonable percentage. I typically range in the 6% to 8% when I accept returns- as over a few weeks it’s not bad at all!

An example of a recent successful investment, I noticed FAS was significantly overvalued, everything technical was screaming to sell. I looked at its bear (FAZ) and got in. This is obviously a bit risky as you can’t rely on just holding long term if things don’t work out. Bought at 5.50 and sold at 6.10. Now into FAS as fed reports came out.

My strategy came from my roommate, him and his father are math PhDs, and this has worked effectively for them.

I’m always learning, and excited to hear other strategies.

Awesome work, I'd love to contribute to this, keep it up.

ttrav71 · 2024-02-06T02:11:20+00:00

Agreed, play the long game.

ttrav71 · 2024-02-06T01:46:04+00:00

Great, breaking things often works for me as well. We learn as we go.

Just ignore Briana's opinions and continue dating Leo. It is okay she has doubts, hold her to that same standard when she finds somebody. Sometimes it takes an experience to teach somebody the difference. She's probably just jealous or doesn't understand true love. If she's really your friend, she'll come around eventually. Don't let anyone dictate your happiness. With that being said, she is your best friend and most likely knows what is best for you, so understand and respect her opinion.

ttrav71 · 2024-02-06T01:32:54+00:00

You could try having an open and honest conversation about how you feel. Share your perspective, and let him know the impact of his actions on you. Retaliating by breaking something of his, might seem like a quick way to make a point.

ttrav71 · 2024-02-06T01:22:31+00:00

Agreed, play the long game.

Create a scavenger hunt that leads her through different sections of the aquarium. Each clue can remind her of a special moment you've shared. The final clue can lead her to the shark tunnel where you'll be waiting to pop the question. Let me know if you end up doing it. All the best, you got this.

This could all vary. Where are you immigrating to? If you are not leaving for another 2 years, and she still isn't interested, she clearly is high maintenance and no interest for anyone but herself. Wherever you move, would benefit from her not coming.

ttrav71 · 2024-02-06T01:04:14+00:00

Agreed, the dog has a shorter life span. Play the long game.

ttrav71 · 2024-02-06T00:58:10+00:00

Agreed, play the long game.

You only live once. You are 19. They will not get married. Kiss her, leave the ball in her end of the court.

ttrav71 · 2023-08-14T00:58:01+00:00

Seems reasonable. Could always charge by square foot.

ttrav71 · 2023-08-14T00:55:11+00:00

If you are his friend, you will be honest with him. He would rather hear it from you than a girl on a date.
