i'm quoting the whole thing below because much of it echoes my sentiments. i read the thread, did my own research, and have been incorporating parts of it into my trading strategies, expanding my world of what i can trade, feel comfortable trading, etc. i do well enough, but i want to do...

not that what i'll say will change anyone's mind, BUT.. of my friends, second-hand rumors, and talking with a few other people across several industries.... there's exactly ONE of them that's in a company that's expanding. they're in finance. every other one is at best seeing a drawdown...
