If you want a contrarian signal, I’ve got one for you. This weekend, I wrote to every single one of Slope’s 4-Star generals – – – an elite group that is, by virtue of their active participation on the site, demonstrate their passion for Slope. Specifically, I wrote to those with free Sloper accounts, encouraging them to demonstrate their unabashed support for Slope not just with their 4-star-ness but also with a paid membership, giving them access to all our amazing goodies.
Want to know how many signed up? ZERO!
The fact I have to crawl around on my knees begging people to crack open their VERY, VERY TIGHT wallets is just another data point for me that people are convinced stocks will never, ever go down again. There will be a time in which I am drowning in subscriptions, and when that happens, I hope to have enough sense to get out of every bearish position I possibly can. Until then………..JESUS some of you are – – ummm – – thrifty. It’s honestly beyond belief. If we go out for a meal, I guess I’m picking up the check.
Errr, allow me to listen to my better angels and say THANK YOU to the good people who are subscribers here. You keep the lights on, you fund the development of new products, and I can tell you I am working on something brand new right now for premium subscribers that you’re going to love. Stay tuned!
