I am not sure how this thread will fly. On my laptop, I have Windows 10. Every time Microsoft issues an update, the sound on Yahoo Finance and YouTube videos, and I am sure there are others, fails. I am tired of reloading speaker drivers and spending a few hours trying to fix it. I […]

I have never had any problems with my account or trading executions. I was wondering how others feel about this. If […]

What Stocks Leon Cooperman Just Bought
Today I watched a CNBC video with famous investor Leon Cooperman as a guest. He was asked ’what is he buying?’. Two of the new names he mentioned were ”Monetize” a mobile wallet company, and ”Technique” an LNG construction company.
