    4. Options Trading and Pattern Matching – Different options strategies can be used based on the pattern and structure of the stock, providing leverage and flexibility.

Quality Presentations and Insights

I wish the host, Andrew, was a bit more conversational with his guests rather than saying, “hmm, yeah. Okay. Thank you.” But, overall, he definitely knows how to choose quality guests and bring some good content and questions for discussion. Áreas to improve, but this is really a great podcast!
