But just don’t go yet… There is lots of value to be found For all the sceptics in this room, I’ll start by showing you several of my picks from my 100K portfolio …
A Good Question for All Investors; Do You Have The Answer?
One thing I enjoy the most about running an investing platform is that I get the opportunity to connect with thousands of investors. We can share ideas and their questions often leads to great article ideas.

My first thought was “God why two companies I like have to beat-up on each other like this?”. And my second thought “this is a good opportunity to buy INTC shares).
