Being a "Hot" spot has its (sigh!) rewards and disadvantages.. We like to keep a balance of the website picks (first called in code daily and the earnings plays also called in code daily with the subscribers getting first dibs) and the free Market Gems Thread. Sure there are some stocks for the thread, that is the successful balance of the thread and the website and for obvious reasons it is in Market Gems best interest to keep level of popularity of the website and the thread, so its a win-win situation. Subscribers know what they are getting, and we don't charge $400 a month (ouch!)..Frankly our rates are reasonable, but that's what brings in the clients. Some people should call their subscription services *OVERVALUED* instead of the stock threads they keep creating on Silicon Investor... :-) (Although I conduct myself in a professional manner 99.9% of the time, a girl just wants to let her hair down sometimes and this is too good to resist.) The picks are in code so you don't know what you are missing and threaders get the overflow and the same stocks after they have been up 10% or more. Obviously if there is a flagging of membership (and the opposite is true) if we appear to be 'giving it away' we'll adjust the balance accordingly. But what is happening is that the picks are 'interesting' enough so both subscribers and threaders are having a good time, and we like that. Zacks, Wallstreetcity, and other sites have premium services together with their free service and we model outselves on these successful sites (i.e. it works for them, it also works for us).
