G-Man Pullback
This will be (hopefully) the first of many strategy posts I write. My primary motivation for this is to keep track of strategies I know and/or thinking of executing trades on.

Oaths in Islam – Part 2
Since I posted an article on “Oaths in Islam”, I have gotten quite a few questions from readers (most of which I have not published) asking me to clarify if an oath they took is valid or something else related to oaths they took. I figured I would write another article providing examples to help…
