The House Always Wins
Some people treat investing like gambling. They buy and sell options contracts or use leverage to juice their returns. Sometimes it works out, but most of the time they lose everything.

Forget Tech: These 3 Funds Yield 11% (And They’re Just Getting Started)
Stocks are surging—but they’re also developing a case of “bad breadth.” That is, most of the gains are coming from a small slice of the market (I’m looking at you, tech).
