I’m amazed Bitcoin and all of its associates are still trading as high as it is.

Weak Day Across The Board For Stocks The past few days saw the Dow fall while the Russell 2000 rose. It has been an interesting situation leading up to Thursday because if all the major indexes were to rally, then the Russell 2000 would be massively overbought. If they all fell, the Dow would be […]
