I have misgivings about Wall Street. Their short-term trading distorts the energy markets, almost beyond recognition.
Indeed, the past year has shown clearly how disastrous such speculation can be. But there is a way to remedy this situation: You.

Some hedge funds have (or had until the stock collapsed) as much as 20% to 30% of their capital in the company, which is extraordinarily reckless.
But it's all in the numbers. The masses are missing these figures, but you don't have to...

For most investors, the relationship between investing and profits seems simple enough. You buy low, sell high, and your portfolio grows - or so goes the story.
In reality, success ultimately comes down to defeating Wall Street's secret weapon: something called "Gambler's Ruin."
Understanding what it is and how to beat it will give you an edge other investors would pay dearly to have. Not one in 250,000 understands it.

The bear market deepened last week as investors sold everything that wasn't tied down that had the faintest tinge of risk associated with it - stocks, commodities, junk bonds, you-name-it.
