Quote of the Day
"I advocate for the American investor and try to spread the wisdom and insight people need to make good decisions for themselves. Some of the people I reach are our clients and many are not, and that’s perfectly okay. It’s what I was born to do. I don’t know any other way to say it."
(Josh Brown)
