  • Take the song, “Walk Like An Egyp-tian” and Replace it with “Trade Like An Idi-ot”, and you have a theme song that can serve you well in trading in the stock market. The run that we have seen in the market as of late is no different, and such a phrase is very useful. One

  • I added another $249 to the portfolio, putting me in the green 1% since I launched my live portfolio on July 1st. However, I left another 1R or $250 on the table on this trade.
