Just an introduction for everyone here on the blog. I recently joined up with T3Live.com after running my own site, Juggernaut Trading, for many years. I was attracted to the team, technology and transparency on T3Live.com’s Virtual Trading Floor. I start my preparation for each trading day early, and will bring you the most important upgrades-downgrades, and fundamental news stocks each day here on the blog. Hope you find it useful.
