AS IRON SHARPENS IRON

[eelfland]

To give you a more succinct answer to your specific question, I rely solely on publicly available information: weather, government reports, news, charts, etc. When one is in the business, one has access to a lot of current information, but even if one is not constantly bombarded with so-called "information," one can structure and carry out a trade that may take place over several months or even years, just by following the original plan, which allows for contingencies.

As for people who sell advice, I don't buy it any more than I buy tip sheets from the guys outside the race track.

I have been known to manage accounts for people, though, in exchange for a percentage of the profits, if any. No profit, no fee. But I haven't even been doing that lately.


A good bottom's hard to beat.
