Raven ...thanks for the posts...I guess Brad has the incentive to do what is most profitable for SI. Chairman/ CEO Beck did that for Boston Chicken (BOST) by expanding rapidly for short term profit. I sold BOST last year at $36...it's now at $2 31/32....It has a new dynamic CEO just recently, and Beck is rolling in money he and a heap of lawsuits against him to get it back.

Let's see if Brad will provide a specific response to my posts defending any position he may have that we should NOT be allowed to choose individually what we read and that this is for OUR own benefit . (Sounds like Big Brother)

New customers interested in making $$ with stock info will eventually tire of scrolling thru reams of cat fight posts and look elsewhere for their investment info. With current policy, SI will have gotten the one time fee out of subscribers but will never realize the LT business opportunity they missed by screwing up their reputation.
Where would their ongoing profit come from when they have only a one time fee and IF they lacked the reputation and opportunities necessary to capitalize on their high potential?

Can you provide me with a copy of the post where SI stated they planned a filtering system for SI? I imagine Brad is a good guy as you said but my opinion is sincere and ON TOPIC for this thread.

Thanks for the response

JO
