Hi Edwin,

Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the Roblox article so i will do my comment here.

I think i am not the only one asking you to give more time for paid suscribers before tweeting the name of the exposed company.

We loose all the interest of being a suscriber if the market already moved down when/if we want to short the stock.

Since you have more and more followers on twitter (and so being more and more influent), you need to protect your paid suscribers.

Hi Edwin

FYI I was introduced to your service by someone who has a similar view to Jogojo.

They feel under pressure to act quickly when you put out new deep reports (before the spreads on the puts go out, or put prices simply shoot up), because they are competing with others who are just reacting to your Tweets without reading the deep reports.

Presumably you want to encourage your readers to do what you do so well ("Thank you!") and think hard and critically about what they are reading, doing some checking of their own before acting, rather than just rushing to action because they feel that they lack the time to act as a deeply thoughtful bear.

I think that requires at a minimum: the time to read the deep report; do some basic background checks; and look at the available put options.

Do you want your community to respond to reports? If so, how do you want us to do it? I realise that this may be a huge time sink for you, especially as your subscriber base grows.

How about communicating within the community (i.e. make it a community - not just a database of subscribers who have a 1:N relationship with you). For example, I've done some analysis prompted by your MarketSentiment tweet looking at how stock prices and prices of puts on those stocks have done after your reports. I'm too short on time to finish it, but I suspect there are others who would work with me on it - especially if they saw what the results show so far. It might also change the opinion of people like Jogojo below (they might feel less urgency to act, especially if they're happy to buy long term PUTS).

No answers to paying subscribers. That's a surprise. It's not as though you're buried in comments - there are hardly any.

Thanks for helping expose bad behaviour in companies. I wish you every success! But the lack of any responses, and (in my view) misrepresentation of what you are trying to provide means that this isn't for me.
