If you’d like to join this gang for free (well, at least for a month), click here and use the coupon code summertime.  The “e” got chopped off in the image below, but I promise, it isn’t “summertim”. The coupon will only be valid for a few days, so act now! (Particularly since there is a really excellent post packed with great trading ideas that I did this weekend).
