Is the Stock Market like a foreign language to you?  My guest, Tela Holcomb, thought so!  And that's why she now teaches anyone how to trade in the stock market in plain English. She's not a stockbroker but she's somebody who was able to retire at 29 by learning the stock market from the bottom up. As you will find out she has tons of content available out there for anybody to learn this process.
