These challenges were in the Wall Street Journal: ”To be sure, even if the yuan is recognized by the IMF as a […]

I’m newly retired and got sucked in by a number of newsletters including Money Map Express, Agora Financial, Stansburry, Palm Beach Research Group, Motley Fool, and others … to the tune of about $6,000.00. Most are still in the trial period and can be refunded. Are any of them worth keeping?

Just a couple days ago there was an Options Play of 103,000 Contracts on UVXY with a $9.00 PUT Strike Price and an expiration on the Jan., 2017. Now Baron’s says this is the largest Options Play ever but Baron’s also says it is just the start of a set up for a Bigger Play, […]

Enjoyed the robotics piece. Suggest a few minutes research into Mazor Robotics which is at the confluence of robotics and the operating room. Believe this to be another ISRG. Your insight would be useful to me and other GumShoes.

Travis (and others), Have you heard of this new digital currency called Utoken? Developed by a company called UFUN but seems to be a pyramid scheme. Please share your thoughts if you have. Thanks
