With sentiment high and stocks in general having rallied for five years, be very careful about the financial numbers in your companies. A strong review of financial shenanigans is worth your time.

Attendees will learn:

  2. Repeatable methods for uncovering what companies don’t tell you about their numbers
  3. Reliable formulas for determining when a stock will get hit

Jacobs provides plenty of excellent advice for individuals in terms of search and strategy. Go small and look for wholesale emotional selling.
