I did not know that Twitter allowed private feeds. It would make a lot of sense for corporations that want to use the platform as a communication device for their employees. I have a hazy memory that SI once toyed with the idea of offering private rooms. One question for you to consider: Is the trading feedback that you get from your followers worth more than $300 per month?

I'm sure you considered some of the variables: If you run a subscription service how much extra time would you spend managing the service/dealing with follower issues- would that detract from your time at chart analysis? Would you continue to do charts on twitter or would you link to pages that would show the charts in better resolution/detail? $10 a month sounds cheap, but it would get more people in the tent, initially. If you had rip roaring success, you could raise the monthly rate. And I assume this would be the chartseer avatar. I haven't traded stocks much lately, they're more of a hobby at this point. I still daytrade the Nasdaq futures most days, that's my profit center. Twitter has become a very useful newsfeed for me. I have three accounts that each do different things, subscribing to different topics, and don't post a lot. I used to run newsrooms with three wire services, I get almost as much data now free, from twitter. I suppose there are more applications, lists, etc, but I haven't felt the need to explore that much. Anyway, good luck. I always found your charting very effective and solid.
