Wednesday’s With Dave
It’s that time again. On Wednesday 08/23/06 at 11:00 AM EST, I will be hosting my weekly interactive lesson.
In addition to an in-depth look at market and sector conditions, I plan on
revisiting some of the basics such a not micro managing trades, position sizing,
drawing blue arrows, and some other stuff. After that, I should have plenty time to take your questions on
individual issues or trading in general. As usual, admission is free (and I give money back guarantees if not completely satisfied!).
However, the space is limited by the software. Email me if you need instructions on how to join (the same each
week) or if you would like the archives for the prior year (covering topics such as money & position management, scanning, picking the best setups, sectors, longer-term trend following and a
bunch of other stuff).
Best of luck with your trading on Wednesday!
