APPLE’S EMBRACE HURTS AND HELPS GT ADVANCED $AAPL $GTAT

November 20, 2013

November 15, 2013

Mom and pop investors love to read about the stocks that billionaires have been buying or selling. The media is happy to oblige. After all, what is good for the likes of Warren Buffet and Carl Icahn has to be good for mom and pop, right? Wrong!
