Interview of Allan Hines

In this class we interviewed of one of our own LearnMetaStock members, Mr. Allan Hines. Allan has quite a story about the personal investment roller coaster ride he experienced during the last year. I don’t want to give it away, but as of March 31, 2009, his trading account was down over $227,000! By November 30, 2009, he not only made up what he had lost, but he made an additional $50K!

As impressive as this achievement sounds, I wouldn’t recommend that you do what he did. However, I would recommend that you watch this interview and see what you can learn from him. I think you’ll find it interesting, to say the least!
