$100 an hour is a little high. More like $20 an hour. You are using numbers from about 4 years ago. College students will do it for free for a class project. Hell, IBM and Comcast don't charge that much. Why a T1? No WAY will they have that much traffic. No frigg'in way. The Email and posting can be downloaded for free. Credit card company will pay for CC so they get a piece. One of my companies make these sites, Dave, and I have made a least 1/2 dozen on my own-- for FUN. I told you NO offense meant. Now YOU get real... I do like the site though!

I have designed sites and have sites up on the many free web hosting services. It can be done very inexpensively. That not withstanding, I would gladly front all cost myself to keep up a "First Class" site if I had access to "THE PICK" before its released. That information is easily worth $10,000 a week. To say the membership fee is needed just to cover cost is ridiculous. Being able to buy before the "Followers" jump in is like having a money tree. Charging those responsible for his money tree seems like double dipping to me. Don't get me wrong. I think the mex deserves to make mucho money off his picks. Hell, I've made a ton on the few picks I was able to get at my limit order. Only about 10% get executed. The bottom line of my argument is tokyomex doesn't need to charge the people that are making him rich on his picks.

Just checking my my cost here...TM Website Not to get involved in a fray but two things I have to mention. TM is a pretty good guy in that he has shared alot of insite and picks with us. He has remained both professional and friendly to us pros and those newcomers alike. But make no mistakes, and you should know this being a tax attorney, TM is in this website for the money and he takes no prisoners. I am assuming the website was started b/c of the big hassle trying to email everyone. I'm in the internet business and there is no way its costing him 75k -100k a year. With the money he is making off his followers, I think its somewhat unfortunate that he is charging for it. But that is his call and Im not upset about it. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY.
