MSFT…..again


March 28 was my 85th bd

I never thought I ‘d be proud to be old!

i am going to play a high stakes gamble to get back in the game: AXXA

i have owned this for quite a while, and the technicals on it have been shit.
until this wednesday.  
i have made this kind of play before, and it worked out really badly for me.
but i am so far behind right now that.....it is time to play the 00.
it is one of those penny stocks that can deliver a clean double in a week.
if you time it perfectly.

long.
