We all know about the curse of "variance" but isn't it weird how these ideas seem to be so good at first , and then the legs fall off? every time! I've only got one place plan that has stood the test of time, and that's after hundreds of promising ideas that all bit the dust. BUT, the profits are minimal and when I tried to increase stakes it fell into a hole, like it seems that when my stakes increased even to a meagre $500 the dividends were affected detrimentally.?
