#Cancelled: But Is Justice Having a Blast?

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me”. That's an old saying some of us have heard for years, but our words are genuinely powerful today.

While many people stay away from the stock market because of the various myths surrounding it,it might well be the best place to invest your money in and earn in long-term or short-term.
