I’ve discovered a new method of investing, lately.  It’s called the guillotine trading method.  Works really simple:  You invest, market promptly heads the other direction, and you’re account balance screams … Read More

Our future is Fertilizer.  Which takes a bit of explaining. When I said, a week or so back, that the market was rotating into position where a “make or break” was due – and a visit to the bottom of an obvious trend channel becomes likely. Today – and maybe carrying into tomorrow – we … Read More
