Before I get to Fantasy Scout's Week 7 projections and predictions, I am going to reveal five words that will change your trading life. Five words that will turn you into a limousine-riding, jet-flying, kiss-stealing, wheeling, dealing son of a gun (minus the limo, jets and kisses). Five words that you should commit to memory like your mother's birthday.

Here they are: Clams and caramel don't mix.

Wait. Wrong five words.

Here they really are: Always make the first offer.


To read Scott's advice on trading techniques and to get the latest data from Fantasy Scout, you must be an ESPN Insider.
