    Besides all else, the most significant aspect of your style is that you keep reiterating key points. You can’t repeat these concepts enough. Hearing them over and over reinforces them to the point where they become automatic. So glad I signed up with Alphatrends. Learning a lot.

    Super video Brian!🙂 I'm on the short term swing-trader side of things but this is SO important for investors too. They could save so much time and money adhering to the advice given here, if they could just swallow their pride a bit and recognise the usefulness and 'moneysavingness' of a modicum of Technical analysis. I mean this is so basic and easy for all types to understand and it would help their performance enormously without having to make a career in charting! This video hammers it home in a BRILLIANT way. Key Pup the good work👍 NoAxe

    Like everything else - practicing fundamentals makes you stronger. For example, professional golfers as good as they are, always revert back to practicing fundamentals. Traders(investors) need to do the same. And this 200 DMA is a good one. Great work.

    This is my first year when i realized that story, fundamental or good or bad company is irrelevant. If it works it's trending up. Company is not good or bad. It's trending up or down. One year it's good and the next it's not. Biggest problem is account full of those stories going down. You want your account to go up. It's possible only with up trending stocks.
