Howdy David,
First, thank you for the current commentary; knowing the great amount of time and effort involved with this.
Secondly. A question from Mr. Curious. Without revealing names, of course; do you personally know of how many well known folks in the mutual fund community; those who write articles and such for the magazines, newspapers or blogs who visit and read, and/or respond/post here at MFO?
Thank you again and take care,
Catch

You forgot to include..."beside me of course"...and me...of course.
For Curious Catch, I've seen some of Professor Snowball's engaging words reproduced wholesale in other venues (not necessarily acknowledged), and it's long been my belief that most mutual fund commentors would be in another line of business without his work. The actual volume of the leaning probably soars far above the modest number who register (if that makes sense - Medicare minus 4 today).
Long may the rebarbative one-liner live!
Over 1600 people are signed up to receive notification of the site update each month, and we're growing by about 90 names/month. While most of the very early registrants registered from private email accounts (GMail & co.), a fair number of later registrants include people whose names you'd recognize from the financial press or whose company names are from the financial services and mutual fund industries. A surprising number hale from non-US locales (the UK, Spain, Italy...).
Does that help?
David
Thank you for the info; and Mr. Curious is satisfied...:)
And I suspect those who moved from FA are also pleased to know more about the positive growth with MFO.
Regards,
Catch
I'm more than happy to share both data about the site and what I expect we'll be trying in the next couple months. In general I assume that folks' interest in site administration is pretty limited, so I haven't volunteered much.
For what it's worth,
David
