Gino Lattarulo spent four years in The United States Presidential Honor Guard in Washington D.C. under George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton. He enjoys writing about companies with a business format that will have a significant impact on our technological future, as well as making trading decisions based on a specific method of charting. .... Based on the events of the last 20 years, especially those involving market manipulation leading to a 100% fleecing of the public. Long term investing has become a volatile game of Russian Roulette that the middle class investor has a near zero chance of winning. The rhyme and reason for the movement of any particular stock is dramatically unpredictable, ultimately being decided and manipulated (even when they play by the rules) by what is referred to as "The Ownership Class" ,IE: the people that control the big money. Educated trading, not investing, gives us the best odds of success at capital preservation and growth. Remember that the market's job is to take your money. Nothing more.
