You'll find a newly expanded list of some of our favorite posts, with insights into emerging market trends. Plus, lessons on trading and investing from the masters: Market Wizards such as Paul Tudor Jones, Jesse Livermore, William O'Neil, Victor Sperandeo, Charlie Munger, and Sir John Templeton offer up their hard-earned wisdom. 

Equally as important, I hope you'll use our favorite posts to learn from the trading insights offered up by myself and some of the lesser-known (but no less experienced) trading practitioners quoted within. 

I have spent years and countless hours researching stocks, scanning charts, speaking with fellow traders, and poring through libraries of information in order to distill some of these valuable lessons down to a few readable articles. Money has been made and lost - a part of every speculator's "tuition" in the markets. I hope to learn more from my own small triumphs and mistakes in the markets in order to bring you additional insights in the future.

Thanks for reading. Feel free to explore, and enjoy some of our most popular posts!
