Thought for the weekend<\/h3>\n

No strategy is magic; none work all the time. Don\u2019t give up during the periods where it doesn\u2019t seem to work, or when it occasionally blows up. The best time for any strategy typically come after a lot of marginal players give up because losses exceed their pain point. <\/p>\n
