This morning I received this letter from a reader:

Bill, I used to receive weekly recommendation on stocks with charts and reasons for buy and selling the stocks. The last one was on General Motors. I believe it was coming from you. I really enjoyed it and it was free, and on top of that I made money;. Are you taking a pause? Did you stop doing that? Do I have to subscribe in order to receive the service? Please respond. Thank You

Here was my reply:

No, I just stopped in mid-December until I could get my new web-site at billcara.com going. I'm still a couple weeks away from having the new site the way I want it -- with all the sections finished, edit properly and fully illustrated and linked. Then, I intend to do a quarterly report on every Dow 30 stock -- timed with the free Value Line report. That means I'll be doing an average of 2.6 Ezine reports a week instead of one. But the Ezine will be moved to the free BillCara.com site, and all advertising banners removed. The old Trader Wizard site will become a premium site, sometime in April. That service will include presentations from my proprietary trading models for the S&P Global 1200, which includes the S&P 500 plus the S&P indexes in key markets around the world.

Thanks for writing, and for continuing to read the blog.

Please keep in touch.

/Bill

Hi Bill.

Sorry to hear about your mothers digression.

As for your declining hit counts...
I know for me I don't read this site as much as I did the TW. Can't quite put my finger on it but it seems to be a lot "harder" to read than TW entries.
Also, there were more "signals" on TW...I know, some of that is due to the market, and some of it is due to your focus on making a new website. But is some of it your holding out what used to be free for the upcoming paid service?

(If you search the cobwebs of your mind, when you proposed getting paid advertisers on TW I questioned how things might go...my experiences in the past had been that most sites deteriorated when that became a focus; not saying yours has...just a passing thought)

All that aside, this is still a great site with terrific information. Keep up the wonderful work. It is most appreciated, especially given all the things that you are facing in your life.
