Summary
...and another year comes to a close.
Not all have made it through this year. Some blogs/sites have closed... a fair few traders (not least those of the bearish persuasion) have walked away in disgust... but I remain...as do .... YOU.
Congrats to all those who made it through another year in the world's most twisted and rigged casino.
No doubt.. 2015 will be even more crazy...
Sincerely... best wishes for 2015
