10 Weekend Reads

Your Tribalism Is Dumb
My father visited me once while I was working for Congress, and I took him to the D.C. Armory to see the marching bands perform. This was a brilliant stroke on my part as a son, as my father loves marching band music. He listens to John Philip Sousa every morning on his way to work, and he unwinds by playing Risk on his computer while listening to the kind of jaunty tunes you’d see in old war propaganda […]

The BKRRF Chart is Truly Impressive-10-50 Baggers are Rare but so is this Setup
This is legitimately the nicest looking chart I’ve seen in a very long time. And it’s a smaller cap miner.
