well, tell me what you really think

because I've been very conflicted about it

the guy I work most closely with charges ~$70 a month for his service

but personally I've always felt unwilling to pay a supposed guru for their picks, to the extent that I've worked it out where even after a couple of years I still don't pay him squat

he's been able to convert only about 2% of his followers into paying subscribers

if I can do the same that'd still be about $300 per month, which is okay and frankly I'd be fine with less

I'm going to be doing the legwork in seek of charts regardless of my readership and have been told by a few people they'd happily pay a modest fee

if I do take the plunge I want to significantly undercut the price offered by others whom are doing similar

one plus about going private is I can perhaps open up more about trade specifics, especially as it pertains to illiquid stocks

there's a part of me that doesn't feel I'm worthy of asking for money, but is that merely negative self talk? I feel a lot people would say forget that and go for it

the forum here is small enough that I feel comfortable asking you guys, later I might poll my followers but in doing so I expect to alienate a few of them

please know that everybody who reads this thread need not ever pay

I appreciate your friendship over the years
