Bonjour Keith ;) I'm also French but live in Sydney, where the time difference with Wall Street is even worse. I find that your system works pretty well in my situation though.

1. What’s the most valuable service you get from my Substack? (And the least?)

I've been a FM for 3 months or so and have read your strategy a few times. And I find that your chat alerts are most valuable, not necessarily to copy your trades but to understand your thinking and the fine details of applying the strategy in real time. I haven't been active in the chat but have found your answers to some questions particularly helpful in that respect.

I like that you go to the essentials and don't bombard us with unnecessary stuff, just publishing for the sake of it.

2. Which is your favorite and least favorite format, and why?

It's all good, but I don't always understand how your info is organised in Substack. And the Substack search function is very poor. I wish I could order results by date for instance, to see the most recent first. But that's to do with the platform, not your content.

3. Are the investment calls and plans clear and actionable enough?

Yes. Also, because you're very responsive on the chat, we can always ask clarifications there.

4. Are the write-ups well structured and informative enough?

The write-ups are very informative. Maybe they could include a section about competing businesses.

5. What would you want more of? Earnings reviews, new positions, positions reviews or update, macro, something else?.

It's all good. More is not necessarily better.

However, I had a big drawdown in July and wish I'd managed that better. So strategies on how to deal with those periods would help. I remember you weren't very happy with how you managed it either, but you seemed to have bounced back much better than me.

The updated Google sheet is great, to quickly find actionable ideas (with links to the write-ups), but also to understand how you implement your strategy.

I don't need macro stuff, as it's available elsewhere.

I'm interested in your views on BTC & ETH though.

6. What’s missing? What’s unnecessary? What’s too much of? What’s not enough?

I appreciate that the chat is not cluttered with people saying "Good morning" or sharing all sorts of tickers or trades that have nothing to do with your strategy. I hope it stays this way as your service grows.

7. If you’re a free subscriber: what holds you back from subscribing?

Nothing. I'm glad I pulled the trigger.

Thank you for this article as it clarifies some important aspects as a new subscriber.

- What I think would help for new subscribers is some thoughts on how to best use the model portfolios if you want build your positions over time in these stocks? Should someone wait for SS Book additions? Wait for buying targets (which are only for FMs)? Other thoughts for new subscribers?

- I can see the discount offer in this article to join as a founding member but I'm struggling to understand how I'm able to use that offer to subscribe as a FM?
