That sure brings back memories! I guess I should keep paying for the netcom website if some still find it useful. I used to get decent clicks on the advertisements on those pages that more than paid for them but that changed with less interest in Brinker as well as an algo change by Google that doesn't send the traffic it used to for any of my sites. The Europeans want to sue Google for favoring their own sites, but I think a lot of it is the exponential growth in web pages that mostly stay forever diluting what traffic there is interested in investing. Add to that how many small investors still haven't come back to the markets.... funny, it has been nearly 20 years since Yahoo! started to index the web and my financial links was one of their top recommendations for "investing." Wow.... time flies... Before you get too complacent, just remember that "model" of Brinker's completely missed the largest bear market since the Great Depression.... I wonder if the "new normal" is the ships burn the furniture and decking to keep going in the fog as they look for land... similar to endless QE.... War of the Printing Presses means EVERYTHING loses value due to real and hidden inflation so you try to stay ahead by buying what either produces income that can rise with inflation or something those with bucks want, no matter what... rare art, quality land and stocks that sell things people want and are willing to pay for.
