Sometimes I feel the blog alone is worth the price of admission.
But, surprisingly, not for trade setups, as I am not a day trader.
Rather, I like the total breadth of topics, and I most appreciate
comments and links pertaining to fundamental analysis,
general market and economic environment, etc. The "Off Topic"
section is useless, IMO, since those posts do not show up
under the main blog when I select "View All", and I never go
out and explicitly select the Off Topic section. I find
some true Off Topic comments interesting, and I just skip over
those that are not interesting. But, some people are too sensitive
and cannot handle the Off Topic comments or the wasted time,
apparently. Personally, I prefer having all the comments readily
avail on the main blog, and I will use my adult mind to decide
which comments to read and my adult maturity to refrain from
emotional attacks.

I subscribed here to get investing analysis and trade ideas. I
find the political posts to be distracting, in many cases offensive
and often juvenile, and in any event make it harder to find the
investing-related posts. There are lots of other forums for
political discussion, so let's respect Matt, Steve and Tom's
wishes, and stick to the rules.
