Stepping back after three issues.

A reader replied to Issue #3 last week with a question that stayed with me. She asked whether the three stocks I featured were a "buy list."

They weren't. But in her inbox, it read like one.

That was a useful mirror. Starting this week, Second Opinion is going to be different.

In this 5-minute read
