I'm a bit behind, but I thought Bluesky should know that Stewart McSweyn has signed with ON, after a long stint with Nike.
And this year just a ridiculous start - momentum just seems to continue - and the chart's saying another AR this year
Who are you investing in?
Can't help but go back to Peter Bol's chart - put this out there last year, noting his break-out of that diamond pattern was a positive - was on the money with him peaking at that sensational 1:42.55 AR
