once in a while I get someone who writes in to tell me that our
membership is too expensive, I'm always taken aback by that since
at $40 a month it's the same as it was nearly 11 years ago.
Anyway what's funny is that when this happens I always write
them back to ask them if they have an Iphone or smartphone, and
without fail every time they said yes. Then I got em, I write
back, then your monthly cell bill is probably $80 to $110 (this is
true with smartphones and data plans) which is 2 - 3 times the BPT
membership and your phone doesn't make you money. Anyway
maybe it's not funny to you guys, but it is to me to me since I
deal with it with customer emails LOL
are what is found here. my rule of thumb is that if a website or
subscription doesn't pay its way in the first year of use, then
it's history. I'm a 3+ yr veteran of BPT, and found just 1 trade
idea (from BPT or from the community) annually is enough to pay for
my annual subscription. Unfortunately i doubt i will live long
enough to 'spend on subscriptions' the knowledge i have gained or
the returns from trade ideas that i have gotten from BPT. Keep 'em
coming boys (and girls). I trade far better with BPT in my corner.
good trading all (happy holidays and happy new year too).

two thoughts come to mind..
1) Compared to what? I have unfortunately spend
many times the cost here on "services" where in a few days I
realized was a complete waste of money.
2) From what I can tell in my short time here, Matt and
Steve do what they can to try to provide education, not just trade
ideas. And the saying "If you think education is expensive,
try ignorance" seems to apply very well to trading.
