Did I read that right? 300 subscribers at $600 per month? Wow, that was some serious cash flow!

YES. So why did AP cross the line? That was a very good living giving securities recommendations. Why tilt the industry illegally? Someone here said greed. That was surely a factor. Another one, maybe not only money but also power and control over public perception. With that many subscribers and posts on the Net there was vast influence over the marketplace, in this case, now proved beyond a reasonable doubt, in aid of a corrupt enterprise.

Dave, there's no arguing that AP didn't disseminate his picks at SI. That's not illegal but if he was trading against his public picks then I'd say we have a problem, one of the charges that bothered me the most, because that's not what Tony promised readers of his SI thread.

As HGM and I said, after this case hopefully SI can fulfill its vast promise, traders and investors researching together to get to the facts. That's up to every member, to make it what it can be. As I said, you and Bob have certainly done a very good job making research expedited about 1,000x with the wonderful search tools. Posts that used to take me days to track down now can be found in 30 secs.

Yeah I need a gig with 300 customers paying $600 a month with that minimal overhead. What a great Business model until -- well the rest is history

Hello Big boss,

Take what I going to say with a grain of salt if you like but most of those stock picks tony posted are against the law. If you remember post a couple months back dealing with the subject, we agreed to wait to see what will happen with the verdict. Now i am pleading with you to please think about booting anthony@pacific name and thread for good. Whatever you do will be fine with me.

I can't find the post but I remember someone saying that the $600 barely covered costs and that the real money was made in trading or something like that.

I also remember reading that the monthly had to be raised, at one point, to $1000 a month because of high costs.

I guess the definition of "costs" rivaled definitions used by NT and others. LOL.
