I look at this and scratch my head.....this guy managed to get on the top of the leader board after sitting in the G fund for 2 months, as soon as he gets on the top, BAM, a PAID service for economic news?? Isn't 3 other paid services enough?? Just curious, I would like the insights of a person with Scribblers Economic background on a regular basis, I just cannot see paying for it.....I seems like me on a Hot Streak in Craps in Vegas, suddenly I want to open my own school on how to shoot craps!!!!!!! Well, to each his own, I will defer and see how the next few months play out, it may be invaluable for some.......

Just my 2 cents worth (it is probably not worth that much!!)...

At the risk of being banned, I have to agree. I read this and it was less than worthless than most other commentary I can get for free. Maybe it's the week? Maybe we will see the brillance in the coming weeks? Or maybe we will need a year to see if Scribbler understands the bear market/transition events of this market. I will give him the month of April, but he needs to proof read his blog. Did he really mean to say " Despite the continued fervor in the media that the beginning of the recession is upon us...." or should I replace 'beginning' with 'end'? It's not good to be confused from the beginning....

All I received was commentary with little TA or other analysis. Using the 20 and 50 DMA is pre-school analysis. Does he follow the Elliot Wave, Dow theory, PF chart, or some other theory or is it just the 20-50-200 DMA that drives his analysis? If the later, 2-months of returns can be a fluke.

Waiting for more evidence before I spend my money.

The good news is, subscriptions are not mandatory.

By the way, if any of you would like to write up a regular newsletter for us free of charge, I'm all for it. I will post it on the site on your own page. The only requirements are that it be consistent (daily, weekly, 2 or 3 times a week, etc), and must be fairly well written (at least legible).

Don't hate the player, hate the game. Scribbler is beating ALL of you on the tracker and you want to complain?

Money pays for this website. If you don't like it don't pay. To actually gripe about something free is insulting. Go join Yahoo groups, you'll fit right in.

Gripping about something that is free now but requires payment in the future for a continued gain of plus 10% per month based on a possible fluke is not unusal in this day and age. I will not become a Bernie Madoff victim. I'm just looking for some analysis that I can believe in and I didn't get it in this weeks newsletter.

Reserving judgement.

It's free for a month "Jethro". Is that what JTH stands for? If not, I'm sorry.

I haven't heard any griping about anything free? Did I miss something? I'm just saying that there are already 3 subscription services. Are you gonnna keep adding another every three months till someone gets it right?

Define "gets it right".



Honestly though, we went through this when Revshark started charging, and when Ebb and Fred started their pay services. Your reaction was predictable but I thank you for your feedback.

I thought the economic report would add something that we don't already provide. Scribbler asked to write the report at the end of last year but I asked him to write a blog and have his account tracked for a few months so we can evaluate it. I liked what I read in the blogs. The return was a bonus.

The offer to write a free newsletter for us was genuine, and will remain on the table. See post #6 above. Thanks.
