<<. I' d be surprised if your inlaws would respond as fast as TD does>> Yeah but the difference is we are happy our inlaws don't respond. Sure Mom (mother in law) c'mon over. Maybe you should walk over and get some exercise....it would be good for you to walk 300 miles <g>

It's true. There isn't much difference in the subscriptions. Incredible price given that there is a report every day of valuable analyst opinions. I looked through the "From the Analyst" and you are right, there is no way they are making money. With the time they put into the reports every day... I hadn't even realized that. I think it is important to understand PnF isn't black and white. Those just learning may miss a few things that the DWA analyst's won't, which is why it is important to read the report every night. Sometimes the reports are long but they have been posting consistently the information needed to make an informed judgement about this market. Tommy was very concerned this weekend and tried everything in his power to do right. He's human but he does give an inordinate amount of time to this thread and to those that want to learn. It is also important that people give constructive criticism because that is how things improve. I think this has been done, the individual subscription now has more information that can not be found anywhere else - plus the analyst's section that has in the past, and will continue in the future, to give excellent advice and guidance.

Do you really think that DWA makes any money off the $25-35 accounts? NFW! In fact I'm surprised that they even bother with us. You're kidding right? Let's think about this -- $25-$35 per person, I'm thinking they have more $35 than $25 accounts but lets say we just average $30 per person. That's $360 per person per year. I haven't seen DWA ever say how many users they have but I would not be surprised if there are a lot more than 500-1000 just based on how many users of QPnf I have, and I've only been giving it away for a few months! Even a low ball 500 is $180,000/year. Not chump change, especially since they already have the data, the analysts etc for their $500 clients. The accounts are not charity, it is a business and they try to do a good job of providing what their users want because otherwise they will lose their users to others who might be better, cheaper, quicker etc etc. As far as TD being here -- it is an excellent way to promote their business, and I wish others did the same thing! But it isn't like he spends hours researching and writing up what he writes here. It is cheap and effective marketing for a fine little money making business. There aren't many websites out there that are profitable, but I think DWA's website is very much profitable and they should be proud of that. -Atin
