    :D

    If you Google the link above, it lets you bypass the paywall.

    Gil Oren, a former stockbroker who manages stockaholics.net from his home in Raleigh, N.C., referred to his shopping list frequently after the Brexit vote.

    Among the 41-year-old’s most-wanted stocks is Apple Inc., which he hoped to buy for under $90 a share. Apple shares closed Wednesday at $94.40, up 2.6% in two days after losing 4.2% over the previous two sessions.

    “Now’s the time to have a wish list and wait for them to come to you,” he said from his home office, where he begins watching markets at 7 a.m. each day. Although he loses money some months, Mr. Oren says he has made as much as $2,000 or $3,000 a month trading stocks and sets most of the money aside for his mortgage, car payments and a college fund for his 3-year-old.

    A moderator for three online forums that focus on stocks and investing, Mr. Oren said he saw a spike in interest in the topics Friday.

    One of the forums he curates, a Reddit page called r/investing, typically receives about 60,000 page views daily, he said. On Friday, it received about 180,000 page views, and one thread dedicated to answering questions about the impact of the U.K.’s referendum on markets was the page’s most-commented-on post until Tuesday.
