Tough days for BIRTP
Since early last October (our highest point), BIRTP dropped about 25% while S&P was up about 5%.

I'd really like to hear what people think about.

I still like the BIRTP service very much, but I'd like Blast can provide more candidates for us to discuss here. By that, we can learn more and potentailly get more diversified at our own choice. Currently, I had some my own picks in my portfolio. It is very time consuming to do the research. As Blast is always doing research, why not share with us even they are not suitable to put into model portfolio? And I believe people here could provide useful suggestion for those candidates too.

Hi goog:

Currently we do not plan to open up private club into non-BIRTP discussions. But I certainly believe the public forum of VIF is suitable for you to discuss more value stock picks here.

BIRTP service also does not intend to increase the service outside current content of BIRTP picks. Research and discussion outside BIRTP picks can be served pretty well in Value-Investing-Forum public area.
