It may be that SI has just done it's pricing wrong.There is always some "magic" price point that brings in the optimum revenue. SI should offer customers a choice of ways to pay- monthly, yearly ,lifetime. Even if it means some ads they should try to keep the price reasonable. Information I have received via SI has made me a lot of money and the free Yahoo approach tends to attract idiots who get their kicks from annoying people. In any case 95% of what goes on in the market is noise for long term investors, and I would rather hear 5 intelligent comments than a hundred dumb or irrelevant ones. I find it hard to believe that "the perceived value of interacting with others who are intelligent is not large". Maybe it's only small with those who lack the ability and/or willingness to think about things , who just want "tips", or imagine some easy way to make money in the markets. Some of the SI threads (QCOM) are quite active - I have no idea why a winner like SEBL is neglected, except that there is a lack of news, in part because a non consumer product is involved and the media is uninterested.
