The old adage states something to the effect of: "invest in what you know about."

Well, we all know a hell of a lot about swiping on Tinder and picking up girls.

Particularly how society is degrading because of it.

Roosh tweeted today that they're set to make about $1 billion in 2019.

This got me thinking: what does our RP knowledge show us would be good companies to invest in for the future?

Obviously online dating is a big one. What else?

Not sure if I can point out a specific company, but based on my observation, there is a strong correlation between the degree of betaness and the success of a company.

The more beta the CEO is, the highly likelihood of the company actually being super successful.

Ex1. Bill Gates & Microsoft
Just look at this body language in his interviews. Still got that nerdy vibe.
The current wife is probably the person who he lost his virginity to.

Ex2. Mark Zuckerberg & FB
No notes. Cuckhold.

Ex3. Elon Musk & Tesla
Divorced twice with the same chick. Dated couple models/actress who had many red flags.

Ex4. Jeff Bezos & Amazon
Recent divorce. Relationship started during college, I won't be surprised if he lost his virginity to her.

I know some people do not invest in cryptocurrency, but here are some examples.

Vitalik - Ethereum.

His body language, tone of voice was worse when you look at his older interviews. This is one of the better ones. His brain has too many thoughts going on at once, he can't clearly articulate himself.

CZ - Binance. (Already a billionaire)

I mean just watch this guy's demeanor. Watching this presentation gave me so much confidence in his project and his vision for crypto space.

No joke, seriously I should just make my main investment strategy to picking the most beta CEOs.

His first word was literally "ummm..."

Fucking hell you're onto something here dude.

I wouldn't buy this at the moment unless you are willing to hold for 2+ years. Might swing back down in the short term, I say it as someone that used to hold MTCH stocks and I recently sold.

They just had one of the most profitable quarters (thanks to valentine's day) I expect it will be cheaper by the eoy, I really don't see a big upswing in the short term.

It's probably overblown but If I could only buy shares from one company then I would stick with Amazon. It has consistently given me good returns and they seem to be getting more dominant every year.

I wouldn't try to apply RP philosophy or any feelings to investing, that's a quick way to lose money (see: cryptocurrency).

Great points.

I'm only thinking long, long term here.

Want to build a 10+ year profitable portfolio and looking at individual stocks to hang onto as my index funds mature.

Just ran a quick MTCH and SPX Chart Comparison and was not too surprised that MTCH closely mirrors SPX or S&P Cash movements up and down. MTCH is likely at a 2017 to 2019 Five Wave High whereas MTCH Wave Five is 50% now of Wave One - could test 62% (.618 Golden Ration) of wave one about 10% higher... though the entire Institutional market is shorting S&P, Dow and Nasdaq now that we have formed a Triple Top All-Time High (Strong Top Turning Indicator) and overdue for an A-B-C of 50 to 62 percent retracement range. If you like Match for a Five to Ten Year Time Horizon - it clearly tracks the S&P 500 so wait six months to a year and buy MTCH at a 50%+/- discount.

Now tell me please has anyone ever banged a non-thot pleasant feminine 9 or 10 from Tinder or Match etc?

I actually like companies that sell a Useful product or service that improves my life - just saying.

This list reads to me less as successful CEOs and more a list of pliable recipients of incredible amounts of graft. Vitalik especially is a big recipient of graft.

Young Bill Gates was incredibly aggressive. I suppose one could call him a "scrappy survivor" sorta archetype. Now that he's not competing in anything his brain went mush and functionally he's an old woman.

Great observations about those beta billionaires. The Warren Buffett documentary is worth watching - Bill and Melinda feature in it.

I'm currently TEFL'ing in Asia so I'd love to trade off of what I can see out here. So few people know what's *really* going on in China.

Where I am in Zhejiang Province there was definitely a slowdown in consumers shopping in Q3-Q4 but things have picked up since Chinese New Year. That's coincided with the global stock market drop in December and subsequent recovery. I might be onto something. If anyone's waiting for the recession, maybe we've already had it.

Personally I'm investing in robotics. I heard a good anecdote today about Chinese guys not being very good factory workers, so they're being replaced with women and robots. Mostly with robots I guess. I think robotics has a great future as East Asia's population collapses.

Apple is cooked. Our Apple store is getting a huge makeover, but you know what? Hardly any of my students have Apples now. Today I did a product design task for my students. "Why will people buy our product? because it's Chinese?". That tells you all you need to know about how successful Huawei will become.

Samsung are also dead - I can't think of any of my students who has one now.

[jbkunt2]

Here in the US Apple is dominant and will remain so.

However, the life cycle of an iPhone is much longer. Less frequent upgrading is going to hit Apple's revenues, for sure.

I sold Match stock. Seems like Hinge and Bumble are the most popular now and they own neither.

I also think online dating has peaked. But then again I've never been involved in it so I don't have a clue. Seems shite to me.

My current favourite is PayPal. They have a great brand and are dominant online. Still, it's best to invest in a few of the cashless stocks.

I think some genetics/DNA/biochemistry companies will make big bucks in the immediate term.

I predict race/genetics will be in the spotlight in the decades to come. Both in terms of genetic engineering, and in terms of large groups of people interested about race.

Not sure how you can bet on this though? I don't know if there are any such listed companies.

I am going to look at anything pet related. On my block the amount of people that have disposable income and kids is dismal. However they all have at least one dog. These are the same people that also spend money on surgery and cancer treatments for their pets.

Disposable income that was for kids previously is shifting to pets.

Apple has the biggest ASIC development team in the industry, allowing to produce the best overall solution on the market. They are the ones bankrolling the latest production nodes, since they have the margins and the volume to do so.

Samsung is much more about semiconductor than user devices. Their memory chips and display panel technology are world class.

Robotics is a smart investment, as it still has much room for improvement and growth. The industry will need robots to cover up for absent working hands in the western and advanced Asian countries.

Anything that has legit value & caters to being anti social is huge..
- Automation Systems (Think AI)
- Passive Income (royalty, ad spend, membership, data selling, saas sp?)
- Short Term Scams/Marketing catering to dream selling

The world is gonna be heavy fear based & anti social culturally...

Yes it is low quality to support it BUT morals aside if you are aware of bubbles & hype jump in & out and when see 1st 3 opps then go long term.

Good example is weed stocks over the years YES lots of shit businesses in the sector BUT perfect anti social drug that produces feel good entertainment and 0 productive benefits.

Just look at what smoking companies are pivoting due to the legal constraints put on smoking...Cigs are deemed bad health wise but be a weed head and while you might not die of health issues instead you can cruise control through life high on entertainment then by 50 realize "damn I was high majority of my life"

VR will prob become huge as tech goes up...It's like exploring consciousness having OBEs without having to put in any effort to learn about consciousness...Instant gratification

I agree completely. For investing in what I know about based upon being active in the mating market, it has to be pets and pharmaceuticals.

I've noticed, even going back to the 2009-2012 days or so when OKCupid, POF, and Match were bigger names, that women who are single and 25/27+ tend to acquire pets. Finding a petless, unattached female after her late 20s becomes a more difficult exercise. I do not think unattached males are acquiring pets at the same pace that unattached females are.

Females drive a lot of consumer spending. Consumer spending drives the economy. Always watch how the females behave.

The current dating/mating market leaves members of both sexes rather displeased. This displeasure drives a lot of mental illness. Anxiety and depression are some of the key maladies that occur as a result of dissatisfaction in mating, which is closely tied to dissatisfaction in life. Meds addressing these maladies are a buy, as well as meds addressing a whole host of disorders related to self-perceived unsatisfactory mating outcomes.

In the medical space, watch anything related to aging. Western nations haven't been producing replacement level children for around 30+ years, depending on the nation.

Globally, one of the scariest trends is in China. There are a lot of incel men in China now in their 20s/30s who can't get laid due to an oversupply of men. Where do these frustrated men turn to? Answering that question will help uncover investment opportunities.

For the last 20 years it's been tech, tech, and more tech that's been immensely profitable. I don't see that changing. Problem is that tech companies don't let regular investors get in until it's already taken off.

Rather than trying to find the next Amazon Apple or Google I've decided to focus on asset bubbles that sit on top of our inflationary monetary system. Bitcoin and property. There's an infinite amount of money that be created but only a finite amount of assets it can go into. People are not getting wealthy off their jobs they are doing it by selling these speculative assets to the next person.

I think eyeballs are the new form of wealth. While purchasing power has gone down I can see that attention or the ability to garner a huge audience has more value than ever. If you have internet fame or more than 1m subscribers/followers there's too many ways you can monetise and get whatever you want whether it is money, girls, or connections. For this reason I regret a lot about not creating my own online platform or having a YouTube channel. Any app that allows people to attention whore will become insanely profitable, you just need to build it and they will come.

Personally, in my retirement account for the last few years I've been buying individual FAANG-type tech monopoly stocks.

Reason being, they are basically monopolies with a license to print money. My business personally uses Facebook ads and it is ridiculous how much we spend there. To us, if we can spend $1.00 to make $1.25 that's a great deal. Meanwhile Facebook is just collecting that $1.00 (times a few billion) with no sign of slowing down.

Yeah people are "tired of Facebook" ... But you know where they are now, Instagram !! Which is owned by Facebook !!

Similarly, what Search Engine is going to supplant Google? Nobody.

Even take Microsoft as an example. They kept losing and failing at everything they tried (e.g. Windows Phone, Zune, Windows Vista) but due to their operating system and office software monopolies (Windows + Word/Excel) their stock has STILL 5x'd in the last decade.

Unless the government literally breaks these companies up, there is no stopping them.

[AntoniusofEfa]

I had decent ROI with different tech and electronics stocks. I bought AMD, Intel as well as Nvidia and Xilinx stocks at the right time. The driving force behind the growth of these companies has to do with the increased levels of autonomy of machines (industrial and automotive), as well as increases in the amount of data that needs to be transported, stored and processed.

One area which I would expand to in the coming years, is everything that caters to unmarried men with varying amounts of disposable income. It used to be that unmarried men were unmarriageable due to various reasons: lacking job skills, having a minimum wage job, having uncontrollable alcoholic tendencies and so on. The range of companies that were able to make money out of this group was limited, as these were usually consumers with a small disposable income.

Nowdays, with Hypergamy out of control, guys that would be considered a "catch" in the 80's or 90's, are now out of the game. These men would now have a considerable disposable income that would be traditionally saved towards a down payment on a house, a fancy wedding, or anything else that is family related.

Looking around, here in Germany (Duesseldorf), the few guys at work (Engineering) that are single, are in a great shape, dress well, and are traveling often.

Now, what would such men need? what would they buy? I am not in such a position (having a very modest income at the moment), but I would love to hear opinions about this from other forum members.
