Posted by Harvey on Jan 25, 2012 in Trade Videos | 1 comment

I know, it’s been ages since I posted a video. Whenever that happens, like clockwork, I start to get emails asking stuff like “Does your strategy still work?”, “Can you still make money given the recession?”, you get the idea… The answer is always “Yes”, it still works.
