Six Trading Mistakes I Made on the Road to $5 Million

We talked last week about the, shall we say, "long and winding" path I took to making 50 times my money, turning 100 grand into a cool $5 million.

However, the 3.9% unemployment rate is close to the lowest level that we've seen the official unemployment rate since the late 1960s.
