Some well considered thoughts for this thread... A. This is SI, or I should say its part of SI. Its not a closed club. B. Because this is SI, everyone who's part of SI has a right to visit, learn, and participate on this thread, there are no barriers. That also means being able to participate in its content without a secret code. C. Jenna offers a wonderful service, that's not the issue. Some of those that habit and visit this thread subscribe to the service, but many don't. So too, everyone who visits this thread is welcome and available to visiting any and every other thread on SI as many of us do. D. There seems to be an opinion afloat that if a stock that Jenna discusses in her service is discussed here, someone is being cheated. That is nonsense because if flies in the face of how value and interest is drawn to investor's attention. E. If you wander from this thread you will find Dorsey being talked about freely, you'll find Acampura and Prudential being talked about freely, you'll find a hundred paid for, excellent, fundamental subscription services being discussed freely. Is anyone being cheated? Of course not... nobody owns an opinion on a stock, unless its inside information, and that's illegal. F. Therefore some ask, what's the point of subscribing if things are discussed out of a closed room? The advantages are clear. You get concise, understandable fundamental and technical insights covering a wide range of stocks, key dates, reasons and trading points. These are further condensed in some cases so that you can focus on trading and investing, not skimming hundreds of tips and hints that ammount to a hill of beans. G. The last and most important part. Jenna can't do it all. When stocks are brought to discussion here they are amplified by the real time insights and commentary of a thousand more. Some have direct knowledge of products, others have considerable years of trading experience. This is a place where the value is compounded, where the two streams of contribution come together. Those with the service have a distinct edge, the cost is minimal for the effort and insight. But don't dismiss those who visit, they also contribute to a greater understanding by creating a live, real time sensory exchange. Its the combination that makes it better. Thanks. Jim
