You started it, by judging me in absentia.
Did you think that it was OK to do that?
And why compare me with Jenna? Obviously there is no comparison, since she is financially very successful in her chat business and I am not. She works 24/7. I won't. She deserves her success and worked hard to attain her position today.
Last year, Oliver Velez asked me to do a room for Pristine as well, and told me that I could expect to make $100,000 a month, just like Jenna, with the marketing power of Pristine, but I declined. Instead, I want to do my own thing as I always have, because my policy is that I answer to no one in my professional life, after enduring 12 years in the brokerage business prior to retirement in 1998 at the age of 33.
Right now, with 24 paid up subscribers this week at $50 a piece, I get precisely $600, after splitting it with my co-host. I think we can safely say that my "business" is a non-profit organization. In fact, that is how it started, because over the past 3 years, my site has cost some $65,000 of my own money to build and maintain. The chat room is basically a way for those who have benefited from my free stuff to contribute a bit back to defray the cost. They are happy to support the cause, which is Truth in Trading.
Since I trade for a living, and don't need the cash from my chat room, I can change it to please you, by making it a "donate what you can afford" membership, in which case, it would no longer be commercial by any definition. But that would set off a revolution, wouldn't it? Hey, that's an idea!
