The path to change for someone with narcissistic personality disorder is more narrow than previously perceived, according to a new report published in Psychological Bulletin. "For the longest time it always felt defeatist to take the stance that people with narcissistic personality disorder don't change," she says. "It doesn't feel fair, and it's hard, but it's a fundamental truth that they don't change." "The more maladaptive a personality the less likely they are to change," Durvasula says. Instead of expecting a narcissist to change, Durvasula advises those in relationships with them to seek professional help.

XOM is within 7% of its 52-week high of $123.75 from April 12, which also is its all-time high. However, that same volatile trading range since April has become part of a much larger potential bullish pattern — which is best seen on this weekly chart. The area shaded in yellow is the same bullish pattern highlighted above. In other words, a breakout to new highs now finally would help extend the 14-year bullish pattern breakout (2008-2022). The best-case scenario, then, would be seeing XOM breakout on both an absolute and relative basis.

☆ Why an indicator that has foretold almost every recession doesn't seem to be working anymore
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-24 | by ( Jeff Cox | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +7 min

According to the New York Federal Reserve, which uses the 10-year/three-month curve, a recession should happen about 12 months later. The inversion is not aloneMaking the situation even more complicated is that the yield curve isn't the only indicator showing reason for caution about how long the post-Covid recovery can last. But the rate dynamics have helped companies escape what usually happens in an inverted curve. With an inverted curve hitting their net interest margins, banks may opt to lend less, causing a pullback in consumer spending that can lead to recession. This could provide something of a self-fulfilling prophecy for the yield curve.
