Debt Deflation Bear Market Update Part I: 2009 Windup - Eric Janszen
Re: Debt Deflation Bear Market Update Part I: 2009 Windup
BUT, where's the reward for existing subscribers? To think ITulip doesn't get free advertizing by word of mouth from .... existing subscribers?!? They should sock it to the new blood, and keep us existing subscribers at a discounted rate.

Top Investors??? You mean to say it's been a broken feature for sooooooooooooooo long you've forgotten about it? Last I recall, like last May, Fred said he was going to have their web ace fix it and it never happened.
When you're logged in, it's a link which appears on the menu bar up above. I believe the point of it was rather than ITulip making recommendations, it was to provide a forum for members to show, in ITulip bucs, where they're stashing their cash or investing in and how they're doing. It's been broken like forever. But why should I complain? With the $100 ITulip bucs they gave me I bought a coal company, ICO. It went from $8 to $13. And now back to $1. So I shouldn't be complaining. But chances are, I might've sold out before riding it down to $1.
And sorry. I tried to reply earlier today but the system kept kicking me out.

itulipers who may have trouble relating to the experience of the buy and hold stock market investor this year, this video of the inside of a cruise ship during a storm gives you an idea. gets really 'busy' about 1/2 way through, like the stock market this fall.
Re: Debt Deflation Bear Market Update Part I: 2009 Windup - Eric Janszen
I have been posting at different forums and have been accurate.
I predicted the fall of Bear Stearn and Lehman. My latest predictions to come true are the BOB (Big Obama Bailout) and the jeffolie death watch for Downey S&L. I have had jeffolie Death Watchs for all the car companies including Tesla. My Death Watch for GM was made 6 months ago for Febuary 2009. My upcoming predictions are for The Crisis in The Fall of 2009 followed by an ever expanding BOB with the government buying empty houses to provide rent to own homes. This will lead to a stabilization of housing prices in 2010 and then very rapid inflation leading to the end of the financial world as we know it in 2012.
Boy, that 30 day trial subscription is worth its weight in...um...gold?
I thought it might have been some reverse marketing, making the short term rate the most expensive to attract people to buy the long term subscription. But again, it might just as easily be another TYPO!:eek:

Damn, Eric, does candy need a new Audi or what? (Duh, of course I bought another year.)
By my math, iTulip saved me over $600,000 since the beginning of the year, so I guess another hundred bucks is worth it. Still, you've got some big cojones raising prices that much in the current economy.

$250 per year to save $600k... looks fair to me. let's do a back-of-the-envelope.
looking at the latest ej piece in the subscription area i see 1,516 views. let's say itulip then has 1500 1 yr subscribers. at $100 that's $150k.
let's say the average ain't as flush as yourself but is more typical... has a couple hundred thou portfolio. let's say they could have had 60% - 80% stocks as financial advisers recommend, or $120k to $160k. the ave. buy-and-holder lost $50k this year.
spend $250 vs lose $50k?
fair deal?
doesn't count the guys with sack like rick raking it in on the short calls like 'time to short CRE'.
1500 subscribers x $50k = $75 mil total saved.
itulip makes $150k to save subscribers $75 mil.
wonder how much all of that research/writing cost? more than $150k?
