Ellie Mae Is Beating The “Trump Rally” – And You’re In It Already…

Dear Strategic Tech Investor, Even with the “Trump rally,” this remains what we refer to here as a “stock-pickers market.” That’s because if you’re investing in individual stocks you can’t depend on the rising tide – that Trump rally – to lift all boats.

The “lunar effect” whether real or imaginary, has no scientific evidence to back the claim of its impact on animals, humans and/or the stock market. Regardless, reports of increased […]
