Great place for serious shareholders—current or prospective—to discuss a stock in-depth away from the trash on open social media boards. I learned a lot from professional investors about microcap investing.

I met some awesome folks on StoryTrading. Lots of them smarter than I am. The people I met not only have taught me valuable lessons, but are now true friends and mentors.

StoryTrading combines both technicals and due diligence to establish a “Story” which enables optimal entries. The StoryTrading community has exposed me to other viewpoints which challenge confirmation bias and I’ve exchanged and debated serious ideas unlike other sites which are just for pumping and dumping.
