I will say this .... a fool and his money are easily parted .... don't go into the speculative market unless u have a cast iron stomach.
Do your research ... if you believe you are ahead of the curve in what the market is pricing in follow your gut .... have a stop loss (always) but always remember .... there are little fish and there a whales .... be a whale or at least have a whale mentality .... and the small fry will be the one who lose their shirts not you.
