Top 17 Stocks Under $17 for 2017
In my younger days as a Hospitality student at UNLV we used to shoot the gaming lines home to our Jersey friends. "AL" was my best friend! He was always present in and around the casino sports book cages, but no one could ever find him. I would say, “AL hit 2 three team parlays last week." "This week smart money is on the 49ers & Giants" (when sitting next to tourists). The Jersey Hustle! Everyone in Vegas is looking for a big pay day! Everyone has their own system…….and Everyone Loves A Winner! "AL" is a Vegas legend. Rumor has it AL has a star on Las Vegas Boulevard. AL stands for “Also Likes.”
“You can never go broke taking a profit! Invest with your head and not over it!”
