LGEN Stock News Headlines

the most reliable asset on earth is making a comeback
Global tensions have been pushing the price of gold to all time highs… Just recently, gold peaked at a record $2,000 (and is now closer to $2,200). And there’s something else critical at play right now in the world’s largest asset. Because of these critical factors, a lot of massive investment institutions are now pumping more money into gold. And as we speak, some are even calling for a massive rally in the precious metal.
A lot of people are making this costly mistake
You may have heard the saying “options are risky” … And, they can be. But only if you use them the way a lot of folks do. A lot of people think of BUYING speculative options when they talk about options. And BUYING low probability, speculative options is definitely risky… It’s how some folks leverage large sums of money hoping that a stock moves in the “right” direction over a certain period of time.
