So, you thought I was lounging around Europe this summer, sipping Champagne and working on my tan?
Well, I confess that I did do some of that.
The sad fact is that I spent most of the summer engineering a major, ground up rebuild of my website, and an expansion of our services. By the time I got home, I felt like I needed a vacation.
My loyal and hard working staff, spread around the world, has been putting the pedal to the metal as well. In fact, they worked straight through the weekend getting the new site up and working.
Thanks team!
The first thing you will notice on the new site is its sleek, elegant, almost minimalist design. The drop down menus have been reorganized and concentrated, inviting a more pleasant user experience. There will be video testimonials from existing users. And yes, you?ll find my ugly mug is larger and ever present.
A new architecture and server upgrade enable much faster loading times for pages and search results. A ticker cloud reveals the symbols from the most commonly posted securities. Our recent performance and trade history will be in your face, something we are quite proud of. Security will also get substantially beefed up.
Many of the new changes will be internal to the site and address our relationship with Google. Let?s just call it ?Magic?.
Suffice it to say, it will be much easier to find us when searching arcane terms like ?Treasury bond short.? Since it appears that half of you are now reading my letter on your smart phones, we have optimized the site for viewing on iPhones and iPads.
This is only the beginning of a million dollar investment I am making in my own business that will unfold over the coming year. As we are approaching our seventh anniversary, we find that we are not only one of the oldest and largest trade mentoring services out there, but also the best performing.
Nowhere else will you find an investment newsletter that publishes audited performance of its recommendations on a daily basis. It?s something we are happy to wear on our sleeve. Our competitors don?t offer this because they reliably lose money for their clients year after year. Better to hide in the darkness.
New products and services will be rolling out in coming months. Next up, I will produce a series of training videos on topics like ?How to Execute a Trade Alert,? ?How to Put On a Call Spread? and ?Introduction to Risk Management?. Coming travel videos will include Rome, Barcelona, Zermatt, Geneva and The Pebble Beach Concourse d? Elegance.
I first launched this business in 2007 after reading ?Websites for Dummies? and teaching myself basic website design. Some friends of mine also provided me with Google?s patent for its search engine. That enabled me to design a site that would grow astronomically, which it has done. Being right helps too.
The new site is a distant descendant from that early effort.
Once again I want to thank your for your encouragement and support. We will never stop making this a better service.
