Totally disagree. If I were limited to one metric I would choose profit factor. It's elegant in its simplicity and tells you how much you can...
For those not familiar with your background, you've been luring the unwary with this for at least six years, possibly much longer. Why is this...
Jack's been baiting his followers with vaporware for at least six years:here While googling for this, I found another post where someone...
Oddi, I appreciate your offer to assist but I have absolutely zero interest in joining the A Team. I've watched Hershey bait people for...
