Dear Inner Circle Member,
Many investors like to describe a particular investment approach by sticking a one-word label on it. For instance, you’ll hear people say things like, “My broker’s a value guy, so I’m really suffering in this Trump Trade market.” This can make conversation flow more smoothly, but it does little to raise anybody’s investment knowledge....

Dear Inner Circle member,
