Before I get into the Benzinga Pro news service review, I wanted to share a quick update as to why I started to use this resource. It all started back in March 2020. Like many pages on the Afternoongrind, I talk about how I started to daytrade. The journey continues to amaze me. I’ve done […]

I recently purchased the Elgato Stream Deck for daytrading. Why, you might ask, because this thing rocks for getting in and out of trades quickly. Since I started my daytrading journey about a year ago, I’ve gone through a lot of different programs, brokers, computers, and many other things. Fine-tuning for speed is critical and […]

There is one thing that stands out every time I do a review of a product. CUSTOMER SERVICE. Although a good product is number one, it’s customer service that will take the cake in the end. I’ve talked about my lawn care history and the recent lawn renovation that I’ve been going through. To make […]

It’s that time again! Another retail stock broker review. This time I’ll be sharing my full Tradestation review. Well, I shouldn’t say full, since  I only use about half of what Tradestation offers.

I’m not the greatest golfer by any means, in fact, my handicap index is currently 17.6. What does this tell you about my care for the game, not much?  I’m one of those players that has a good swing but can’t put the consistency together. This equates to high scores. I work on my game […]

Yes, over 30 Web Hosting accounts with actual websites. Seems Like Overkill, Maybe So. Although I would love to cover each web host in great detail, it’s best I stick to my experiences. I will also mention a few you should avoid. Finding the best web host isn’t the easiest task. In fact, there probably […]

When I turned 13 I was fortunate to learn about investing money.  Back in 1986, I received 10 stock shares of Exxon which was worth about $150. These 10 shares are now worth about $750. The lessons I learned about the stock market with a few shares of stock have helped me tremendously. Earning money […]

There are 1000’s of people touting the so-called life-saving supplement CBD. CBD stands for cannabidiol, is naturally found in hemp plants and proven to promote wellness.  I’ve been doing some research and decided to give it a go. I plan to try a few different brands on the market over time. I feel like I’m […]

Hostgator Exit Review When I started my hosting research back in 2004, I noticed HostGator was one of the biggest small business hosting company in the industry.
