    This is an excellent step up in production quality, and it's awesome to see an industry that doesn't get much insider coverage. Your shorts are good for bite-size information, but long-form content like this is simply outstanding.

      That is exactly the reason I stopped trusting the financial advice of UA-camrs; in the long run, I only end up with a jumbled collection of stocks and bonds. Whereas all I needed to earn over $350k in less than two years was guidance from a true market expert.
