Friday, January 8, 2021We all know Mondays can suck. I got a flat tire yesterday. The third one this year. No fun. But that’s nothing compared to 33 years ago when Monday really sucked for investors.

Tuesday, May 12, 2020I want you to forget all the doom you’re hearing about on the news. In fact, turn off the TV... Put down the newspaper...
