Dear Mike,
I’m a new reader of your blog, so first of all I want to thank you for taking the time to educate the “dummies” of the world, such as myself.
I have a question for you: How did you identify SIR as a short candidate? And having done so, how do you determine your entry point?
If you could answer these questions, I would be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.
