Thanks a lot for the nice comment, glad you enjoyed!
Along with 'Only price pays' he should say 'Bottom pickers get smelly fingers' :) I like that one.
Brian all day

@@TradeRisk You both were on the same wavelength. You actually had a conversation with each other versus following a checklist of questions. Well done, Evan!
Excellent content! Thanks Mr. Shannon for sharing your knowledge.
Totally agree on the dip buy mantra everyone seems to think is a 100% winning rule. It's just martingale strategy because it eventually turns into averaging down a loss.
Wonderful video.

Another well known trader likes to say that most traders are "degenerate gamblers", and even more so with the rise of robin hooders during covid.
