3	Why Every Man Should Spend A Year In Commissioned Sales Unless you're the only one specialized in "x" in your hospital, yes, you need to sell yourself to your colleagues. When I like you/your service, I'll send you cool, interesting, polite patients, and you'll have a nice waiting list for easy elective surgeries. If I don't like you, I'll turf you every crazy complicated patients that I don't want dealing with.	/r/TheRedPill	11/01/16 06:37 PM
1	Why Businesses and the Government Pander to Women Indeed, the diamond obsession was masterminded by De Beers. That being said, regarding jewelry, I think the main difference between today and a century ago is the growth of disposable income. People weren't buying simply because they couldn't, not because they were not enticed to.	/r/TheRedPill	08/08/15 03:15 AM
3	Why Businesses and the Government Pander to Women I agree with your post. However, the claim that "it was not the norm to buy jewelry for women before" is patently false. Men were buying jewelry for hundreds of years, and have been encouraged to do so by most religious texts. For instance, see [Sigalovada Sutta] (http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/dn/dn.31.0.nara.html), a text that is more than 2000 years old : In five ways, young householder, should a wife as the West be >ministered to by a husband: (i) by being courteous to her, (ii) by …	/r/TheRedPill	08/08/15 12:06 AM
1	Financial advice? Seriously, if you can beat 20% a year "all the time", you should really start a hedge fund, and make even more money investing other people's money -- and I'll even give you mine, if you guarantee that 20% return. I've invested for quite a bit, and the most I've ever made was 600% a year with pure luck on a small amount of money I've invested speculatively. My average returns are certainly around 20% a year overall (excluding that amazing 600% return). Indeed, I've never met anyone who's made mo…	/r/TheRedPill	03/06/15 09:42 PM
1	Financial advice? I understand what you're saying, but I still think that was bad advice for the OP. The guy was talking of investing a measly 10k, all while he has 8k in debts, clearly not the kind of person who will gain anything in the stock market if he's by himself. For most people, blindly investing in a fund/ETFs is the way to go, and will prevent the usual buying high/selling low. Seriously, when you invest by yourself, you can hardly expect to beat Buffet's performance, ~ 20% yearly, while any dumb whole…	/r/TheRedPill	03/06/15 03:00 AM
1	Financial advice? Disagree. Anyone who's ready to lose money and is willing to devote dozens of hours to research interesting unpopular stock can (slightly) beat the market. However, given the amount of work it requires, it's rarely worth your time. If your hourly wage is low, you don't have enough money to invest for the little difference in interest to matter and if your hourly wage is high, you'll probably earn more doing your daily job than hunting for deals on the stock market. But if you treat it as a hobby…	/r/TheRedPill	02/06/15 12:31 AM
1	Financial advice? First, pay all your debts. Second, take the habit to invest a fixed amount of money every month. This should be money you will not need for the next 20-30 years. If your investment horizon is less than 10 years, and you're investing just a few thousands bucks, don't bother, really. If you can find some money you will forsake every month, buy 50% VIG and 50% VOO (Vanguard ETFs) every month, and never, ever, sell/change your investments before 2040. Never read any news about the stock market. Unle…	/r/TheRedPill	01/06/15 11:49 PM
4	[FR] Father died; TRP confirmed: Do Not Marry Strippers Just curious : why you were asking urologists, of all people, about your dad's hyponatremia ? They never see this kind of patients.	/r/TheRedPill	08/04/15 10:49 PM
1	A buddhist lecture that aligns with TRP Buddhism does offer a very convincing description of the working of our minds, and it is especially interesting precisely because it does note invoke this qualia bullshit. I suggest you read Society of Mind by Marvin Minsky. His approach is perfectly consistent with buddhist suttas.	/r/TheRedPill	29/03/15 01:24 AM
–	Financial advice? The Intelligent investor is good, though a bit too detailed for someone without any significant money to invest and who should just go with funds/ETFs. Technical Analysis of Markets should not be on your reading list unless you: (1) work in finance; (2) have a huge amount of money to invest; (3) want to lose money.	/r/TheRedPill
