I can relate to the frustration for sure, but I don't think its right to take it out in any way on matt and steve.  They give so much information in the newsletter and updates every day, or more than once a day, that having them on the blog at all is more or less a perk I think.  People on this blog sometimes ask for more updates, or updates on specific sectors, or whatever, as if breakpoint trades is this big organization with lots of resources -- but its just matt and steve in front of their computers.  They give an incredible amount of information, actually.

    I think matt and steve are great -- I;ve been here since before matt started reworking the website -- there were no daily updates! -- and I know they enjoy doing what they're doing and helping people.  But the other reason for wanting to build a successful subscription website is that it can be a tremendous income stream and trading is hard work. 

    Frustration Dialog

    I appreciate all the honest dialog and can relate to much of it.

    I, too, feel frustrated at times, mainly because I want to make successful trades and they don't always happen. I sometimes find myself looking for someone to tell me when to buy and sell because I don't fully understand how to interpret the charts and commentary. I know that I am responsible for my trades, my choices.

    I realize that this BPT subscription that Ihave signed up and paid for is, like life, a continuous learning process, a journey. I think that we all want to make successful trades and, despite the end goal of making money, a livelihood, it is the journey that is so important; like this dialog, the learning that happens everyday, the being.

    It's like we're all sitting at a table and all the information from this web site (blog, updates, etc.) is presented to us, put on the table in front of us. It's our choice what we do with it; we can discard it or we can utilize some or all of it in whatever way we think will best serve us - it's our choice.
