Another informative and inspiring post Richard! The snippets like the reference to the Dow Transport chart are really fascinating and reveal your trader specialism. The #AVON chart looks very interesting for bowl watchers. Thanks again.
Thanks again for another interesting weekly round up! I like the sound of watching the Dow Transport Chart for an indication of what’s going on in the markets. Where can we find that chart?
On last week’s round up, that was great too and a brilliant description of how you trade and manage your portfolio. I didn’t get a chance to reply, due to workload. But one thought that came to mind on last week’s theme and in-line with your comments/poem steeped in culture, was the phrase “Caveat Emptor” this sums up what your readers and followers should think about before buying and not blaming you when things go wrong! Especially when it’s not so obvious.
