I really appreciate the response to my questions. We are always trying to understand the dynamics of how the net is maturing. It appears to me that the "daily news stories" are now a commodity as commissions are now free for $100M account at American Express. The commission war is won. The content war is still going and strong but technology is leveling the playing field for the story writers. I have one more question. Sites like Wall Street City have fundamental searches for $35 a month and can be very sophisticated but does this type of search really help unless one is a CFA or accountant and fully understands the items one can search for like ROE, Book Value, debt to equity etc. is a search like this worth the cost or is it better to place those dollars in Value Line and S&P or Zachs who does the search for you and lays out a preliminary menu of stocks you then must manage through P&F? I'm not sure what the answer is for you. I know what it would be for me. One more question, would you like to see DWA become a financial portal, ie. small one where we aggregate all the free stuff on the net and make it a useable combination with our P&F Hub. Kind of like spokes coming off a hub. Remember I'm not saying we change anything we do with the primary hub of activity we do, just aggregate the net so you don't have to go elseware or pay anymore money. Like Stockpoing.com has free fundamental searches that others charge for. Would it help if we could aggregate these type of services and meld them into our HUB of P&F? Believe me this really helps having responses from THIS SITE. Tom
