 So, is there anything to look at today? Sure... but there are too many cross-currents, earnings announcements, market volatility, etc., and in keeping with the PRESERVATION OF CAPITAL RULE, no picks, at least not at the open. Those of you upset with that, please understand that I know some of you are just blindly taking these trade picks without doing all your due diligence and that is not the purpose of these picks. I'm not gambling and you shouldn't be either. I don't teach gambling, I teach putting the odds in your favor and market knowledge. If anyone wants their $30.00 back, I'll be glad to oblige.
