7 Firstly, ever please go read EM’s latest piece here, hopefully it may provide you with some solace that within these halls… BOSSES LOVE TO BALL
I cannot believe that my blogs have been showing up on the front page since 12/14/2012, making tomorrow 2 months. I also just surpassed 110,00 page views in that time. Now, that’s not unique visitors, which is where I need to establish and maintain a 3% quota. We are getting down to the wire here in the “iBankCoin Games,” with March fast approaching. Whatever happens, this has been an awesome experience. It has made me far better at all facets of life. By writing and spilling your heart and thoughts onto the screen through words, you learn a lot about yourself and you learn what you are doing right, and what you are doing wrong– that is of course, unless you are a sociopath.
I was presented with the greatest honor yet since being on the front page, or blogging at all, for that matter. Shawn Langlois of The Wall Street Journal’s MarketWatch.com used excerpts and linked back to one pieces posted last night. In his post entitled “7 gut checks before the stock market’s opening bell,” I am a guest along with Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey. Not a bad thing to wake up to. I want to thank Shawn again, and I’d also like to thank “The Fly” and everyone else at iBC. I only hope I can provide you with the type of content being associated with this site garners.
I’m serious too, that if this doesn’t work I will look to go to South Africa, where I have family, and hunt down rhino poachers. I’ll let the Dr run the money while the lady and I go off to Africa.

Congrats on the MarketWatch as I like to pull sources from there, a feat in itself as a blogger and just another step…keep the momentum going.
I think the problem with some readers is that they don’t like to look at blogs from an education standpoint but from a buy this/sell that standpoint and if losses are shown immediate attack ensues (ie. Cramer is a macro example). Hippocrates or non-trading people IMO.
Enjoyed the dedication by all 3 newly tabbed bloggers and can’t believe it has been that long myself, 3% seems low, but when a tabbed trader its a requirement & achievement deserves that tab.
Either way great stuff by all 3 of you and a dedication not seen by others.

Always love the recent Bad Religion plugs, a favorite band that made me think instead of slide by at times.

Thanks for your support always, DEVIL DOG. It means a lot. If it wasn’t for punk I’d be an asshole.

Haha thanks for the title and like I said in EM’s post I’d be happy to be an ammo man for that company in South Africa, great team there.
People have such a prejudice to punk, some of the best lyrics/insight IMO.

Evidently we need to spam every outlet on the internets this side of stocktwits with our work to obtain those “unique views”.
Rhino
HAHA, dude, cynical today?

A bit, but also like my “reach” has hit a plateau, and that is frustrating (from a traffic perspective).
I understand the rationale behind wanting unique views, but I also think that building a reader base is just as (if not more) important. It’s tough to do both in less than 3 months (2.5 in my case).
