I will formulate the 2021 Value Picks and post them in another future blog. >>>>>>>>> I am having some troubles with the blogger interface moving now to HTML and every logo I try to snatch to use now has licensing fees. I do not earn anything from my blog posts. It is to assist other investors, not make money from my post. ( If I want to make money, I will simply purchase and hold the stock picks that I am recommending!!!!) Have a Happy Holiday and a Healthy and Prosperous new year - 2021 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Freewilly
