The opening bell is my lunch bell. I like astrology, so I’m a follower of technical evaluation (primarily traits and help/resistance/psychological ranges). I additionally take a look at the basics of particular person names, though the theme and the macro usually prevail in my decision-making. I dislike empty fits, high-level BS, deep-level BS (particularly), pointless jargon, and self-indulgent, third-person written introductions with an air of superiority.
