It is that time of year where we look at setting up trades that will give us nice wins as we wrap up the year. But we are also looking for the trades that we can use for our longer term portfolios. If you are self managing a retirement account, your horizon may be...
The S&P is down 20% year to date, Amazon is down 50%, and Tesla is down over 60%. When is it time to start scooping up deals and take advantage of these attractive discounts? Let's look for any clues we can see now and figure out which alerts will clue us in that...
