After snagging my 100-in-a-100 lucky charm, I managed to completely flame out in a near vertical free fall in the space of 3 days.

It didn't help that I picked AVNR....meant to give it the thumbs down....apparently chose outperform and didn't notice and now I'm stuck with this anchor for 7 days. That'll learn ya!

But the real major factor contributing to my glorious swan dive is nearly doubling my number of stock picks the last 3 days. Given some time, I expecting those stocks to move the way I picked 'em.

In the meantime, my volatility will be something to make most people violently sick (if it were an amusement ride).

'Bout time for me to join a newsletter so I can learn something....I never was good at throwing darts.
