Personal Track Record

Every month I choose 10 stocks from my watch list(s) which I think represent the best long and short term opportunity. My strategy can represent value, timing, growth, and special events but always is based on well run companies.

    But I did not, and never would, use a NFL Players season ending injury as a ruse to......

    I don’t usually bet on much of anything, except stocks [IMAGE] , but these odds have me thinking . . . Hmmm . . . Just Maybe . . .
