After David recommended Royal Caribbean Cruises as a stock in 2007, he told members to sell it one year later. Should he have? What can we learn? Later, he’s joined by Emily Flippen to help investors get started investing, and then by Robert Brokamp as well to help investors get finished investing. That, and a preview of RBI’s Authors in August at the end!
