RIO Stock Price History

RIO Stock News Headlines

Buy Friday, Sell Monday, No Exceptions
Every week traders grind it out Monday through Friday… But neglect trading Friday to Monday… Or… “over the weekend” As one professional trader explains, trading over the weekend is one of the most forgiving strategies you can use today. It allows him to sidestep a lot of the midweek volatility. Yet, gives him the opportunity to target some of the markets biggest stock moves. Just recently, he posted a trade on Nordstrom… The trade was published at 3pm on a Friday afternoon and by Monday morning the trade more than doubled.
Altcoin FRENZY Alert…
Bitcoin recently crossed the highest price in its 15-year history… Less than 2 years after one of the most vicious crypto market meltdowns we've ever seen! Bitcoin's BOOM also sent shockwaves through the altcoin market, with select coins seeing HUGE moves in a matter of days… Like Fetch.ai, that gained over 350% in just the last 30 days…
