    Am I a Fool For Wanting To Be a Speculator?

    Soeculation is a tough game - to succeed you have to get two things right: your individual trades have to be profitable and you have to make enough trades to make the endeavor worthwhile. In any other “buying-selling” activity you really only have to worry about making enough trades as the...
