If weu're going to be buying stocks, please be buying businesses, not the tickers. So many people are just thinking about, what's the ticker symbol? And then some people are looking at the hart or the graFP of the stock and looking for patterns. A lot of people still think the stock market is closer to a gambling casino than a system for funding business employment, opportunity, growth.
