To sum up Royal’s advice: take the girl away from her familiar territory, and have her lean on you for support.

That’s what you would do with a spoiled child, wouldn’t you ? (Practically all children in our days are spoiled by their parents)

ALL WOMEN ARE SPOILED, too.

That’s why we don’t spoil them here at Wall Street Financier: Notes from High Altitude…

We ride the bull and we crash it down.

It’s the end of pampering and servitude.

Today I will expand on a comment I made, comment which I will raise it to the level of a commandment.: STOP helping women, the ones that you are interested in on a romantic level that is. That’s it. Don’t help them even if you can, even as they ask for your help.

1. You’re not the ONLY one she is playing. She’s doing it to others, and has done it countless times before.

2. The preferred role for ALL women is that of the VICTIM.

3. She will take advantage of your MALE protective instincts, which unfortunately, ALL males have.

4. She derives her power from your need to protect her. That is your WEAKNESS. Not her looks. Contrary to what many people say, it’s not her looks that make you weak. If you stop protecting women in any way or shape -logistically, financially, any ways, you are already becoming better than 90% of men out there. Sometimes self-improvement takes a strange turn, fellows, but it is the truth. Remember, Don’t HELP them !

My original comment

One key metric of self-improvement is detachment from the false societal programming of romantic love. As a man who’s gone through dozens upon dozens of relationships, some brief and some long-lasting, I can tell you equal relationships do not exist. Someone is leading the other; the other has to follow.

The biggest weakness men have is their protective instinct (of women).

You already saw that in the original comment. If you don’t reverse that…it will be your downfall.

“Women don’t really belong to any one single man, they belong to the community.”

Arturo Sandoval

Train your false programming to minimize and eventually conquer it.

How ?

Think about a new women you date as Josh’s and Costello’s also. These are fictitious names of course, but you need to acknowledge and accept she is with other guys, guys you may know or not, doesn’t matter.

Men play video games. Women play men. That’s their game.

You are one of many.

You borrow a book from the library. Others will borrow it, too. Would you be opposed to it ? Of course not !

You don’t have a claim, any claim, to any woman, including the one you’re married to (if you’re married).

I made the bold claim in the blog before that men-women relationships end after a period of 6 to 12 months. So if you’re in a relationship still after this period essentially you are experiencing the decline of it. This downslope can be slow indeed, very slow, sometimes decades-long. Children slow it down the most because of what I call the overinvestment in progeny people make. You have to stay together for logistical, financial and security reasons. But you’re still in a trough. Anyone who’s been married can confirm that.

Stop the non-sense of monogamy

Even Taoist Daniel Reid in The Tao of Health, Sex & Longevity (1989) states a man should have several female partners strictly for health reasons. Why men are duped to staying together with only one woman for a period longer of 6-12 months it’s beyond the understanding of Buddhists, too. It is false societal programming and both us men and women are falling for it.

“Love is meant to shared.” -they say. Think “women are meant to be shared” and be ahead of the pack…

In My next article I will share with you the 10 Biggest lies That Women Tell…

Stay tuned…

-Max Cantor

“Not to know one’s true identity is to be a mad, disensouled thing — a golem. And, indeed, this image, sickeningly Orwellian, applies to the mass of human beings now living in the high-tech industrial democracies. Their authenticity lies in their ability to obey and follow mass style changes that are conveyed through the media. Immersed in junk food, trash media, and crypto-fascist politics, they are condemned to toxic lives of low awareness. Sedated by the prescript-ed daily television fix, they are a living dead, lost to all but the act of consuming.”

Terence McKenna, Food of the Gods: The Search for the Original Tree of Knowledge

We built up the single best resource for a man’s [worthy] life, regardless of age.

Because we don’t take any bullshit. From anybody.

With that being said, I’m glad to give you links to the resources on investing the professionals working in the industry have.

The Acquire’s Multiple recently listed 50 of the best investing podcasts in the world . Lot’s of good stuff in there:

…etc.

Since the pandemic begun many trends have arisen in the business world…there are so many I don’t make them my subjects. Somebody could write an academic paper on why Tesla is the craziest stock ever…as of today Elon Musk is the 4th richest person in the world

Another interesting subject are gym-equipment manufacturers. Since a lot of fitness clubs have been closed, one could assume they’re doing poorly, yet they are not. Fitness-equipment makers are following the trend of gyms slowly transitioning to at-home gyms. Take the case of Nautilus, which made the subject of a WSJ article last week:

“Net sales rose by 94% YOY and the company entered the third quarter with a big backlog. Hot items such as the company’s Bowlex SelectTech adjustable dumbbells are in such high demand that they are sold out and used ones are on sale for around double what brand-new ones cost earlier this year.”

Wall Street Journal

So hey, while you may or may not have any money in crazy stocks like Tesla, make sure you don’t have any money in the depreciating assets known as women. My guide to your women life is second to none.

This meme is making the Internet happy today.

For you youngest readers, interns are in high demand.

Monday June 15th, The WSJ had an article “Negotiating that Raise or Promotion” (Tessa West) I will comment on today.

Unless you are self-employed, most of us today aren’t negotiating for raises, we’re “negotiating” for holding on to our jobs and not being axed in a crashing economy. Forget the raise -nobody is giving any raises, folks. I’m thinking 30% of investment bankers are going to lose their jobs in the next year or so – and they don’t even know it. Who goes out the door first ? Juniors, of course.

I said negotiating with your BB as in Big Brother. See, I call your boss the Big Brother. (of course I know the biggest brother we often use the word for is the government, but what are you going to call your boss, Little Brother ?)

The only way you’ll still have a job in the next few months is if you’re hooking up yours to your boss’s.

We’re not living in a normal economy. We’re living in an economy suffocated by incompetence and artificial status hierarchies.

Back to the article

Tessa West says you need to ascertain your boss social hierarchy status: “hierarchies constantly shift”. Of course they do.

“What does your request ‘cost’ your boss in social capital ?”

Tessa West

“What problems does your request solve for your boss ?”

TW, The Wall Street Journal

Oh ya, like you thought bosses are those little angels here to help people in need. You can read the rest of the WSJ article at your leisure.

Know this: the boss, BB (nice sounding name by the way, bee-bee), whatever, only cares about his/hers social (organizational) status. You either understand this or you don’t.

What have you done for me lately ? is the name of an old song by Janet Jackson, but it is also your boss’s OS.

There you go, Adam Galinsky, “getting inside your boss’s head”.

Here comes my 20+ years of experience dealing with bosses: a very confident boss is just as bad, or worse, than an insecure boss. Bingo ! (Please don’t make this quote into another meme, I’ve had enough of those already).

You need to bring your boss up the ladder of confidence or he’ll lose you faster than a speeding bullet.

With a very confident boss, and we’re talking C-level here, you need to get him out of the stratosphere and back to breathing though the face masks we’re going to be using around one another for at least some time. Unless you’ve discovered a Covid-19 vaccine, he doesn’t care about you.

Talking about Covid-19, remember: there’s no such thing as an “invisible enemy” (I know you’ve heard that term a lot lately.) Your boss is vulnerable no matter what industry you work in or how high up in the hierarchy he’s in.

Let him know the higher up they are, the harder they fall.

I wrote this Book, The Book of the Underdog for people like you, who’ve had enough of being pushed aside and away. After dealing with the wild card bosses are for a very long time, I gave you straight up the truth about bosses, careers, negotiations and lifestyle improvements. Written in 2018, BOU is still the Manual for handling your bosses.

Ever wonder why older married men envy the younger bachelors ? A young untied man is the envy of the married man (with or without kids), never the other way around.

Are you divorced or have you ever been divorced ? Then you know the surge of energy, initiative and well-being you found after the break up. (if you made it a complete breakup and not a long drawn affair, which can be very draining). If you’re a man chances are you didn’t initiate the divorce, she did, and if that caught you by surprise, it’s your fault.

The modern marriage model relies on monogamy and long-term cohabitation. Both are corroding to q man’s well-being and health, and explain divorces. The only reason divorce rates are not higher than they are -they should be 200% higher -is because of the dire financial consequences of divorce., the shaming and family pressures that keep together people who no longer wish to be together.

Did you know ?

Monogamy has been around for only the last 1000 years [citing Kit Opie, an evolutionary anthropologist from University College London. ] Monogamy is the prime directive of the societal conditioning and has allowed for the spread of the population.

Monogamy is an enforced unwritten social contract that creates such phenomena like cheating, family crime and so forth.

What are the alternatives ?

Marriage is a favor men do for women. Women would marry a lamp post if they didn’t have a man. How do the smartest people in the world -some of whom work on Wall Street – deal with it ? Why is it they still married after 10 or 20 years ? Well, I know some of their secrets. And so do you. These are the two secrets to a long, happy marriage.

Never monogamy.

Your *unwritten* contract with your wife should be that you’re allowed to have other partners, even if you don’t bring them to your bedroom. And so should her. That’s the basic, truthful recognition of your nature as an actualized, successful man. If she doesn’t tacitly agree with it you’ve married the wrong woman. If you have any money or earn a high income, Pre-nup and all of that good stuff come without saying. With your *flings* you should be using a Non-Disclosure Agreement that not only establishes consent but has clear penalties, as in punitive penalties, if a breach or threaten breach should occur. I list punitive damages of $250,000. Since a lot of women sleep with men to derive fame, publicity, money or just as a blackmail tool, take the steps to make no guarantees as to your fame -enabling, explicitly disavowing any claim to fame or money. This way she can’t come after you with neither “he told me he was famous” nor “I expected this and that from having sex with him” bullshit. Let me read you something: “The Male Party makes no guarantees or promises of any kind as far as his performance, after-effects, post-encounter availability, benefits or implications, of any sexual encounter to the Participating Party or Parties. The Male Party makes no warranties of any status, symbol, standing or provenance of any sorts.” I suggest you consult a lawyer to draw you a NDA for Intimate Contacts.

Now , if you’re using a prostitute, the contract is the money you’re paying, but still be John Q. Anonymous. Let’s say years later a prostitute recognizes you -and you’re famous – and wants to come forward to say she’s had sex with you to cause you a public relations disaster. No NDA. Deny. It’s your word against hers.

Successful married people DON’T cohabit with their wives.

You don’t have to be rich or own three houses. Just don’t live with your wife. Room-mating is a drag on attraction. Sleep in your own bed, in your own apartment. You may not see your wife every day. And that’s Ok. She should look forward every day she can spend a minute with you. That’s a happy wife.

May you live long and prosper !

” …stopping MAX production for one quarter would shave 0.3 of a percentage point from quarterly annualized GDP growth. “

WSJ, citing Wilmington Trust study

What’t Boeing CEO to do ? Other than hang his hat.

If I were him, I would have set up an Emergency Task Team back in March. The Task Team should have been coordinating all efforts at securing this program. They cut back production seriously: from 590 to 42 a month is a steep fall. Could they have done better ? Hard to say, because halting production makes sense when the FAA fell behind on their schedule, which they did when their approval didn’t come out on schedule. (was it October they were saying ?)

Perhaps Boeing should have cut production when the FAA dragged its feet.

Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg in Oct. : “That accountability starts with me.”

I will say that individuals’ lack of responsibility is what created this situation. Every individual’s lack of responsibility compounds an error in size. It’s not the CEO’s fault if individual responsibility is not taken. Individual errors become halos in organizational errors.
