In an effort to try to recoup some of the development costs and time involved building and maintaining the tools available on the site, I will be moving all tools over to a membership section. Membership access will begin Friday, October 1, 2010.

Why is this happening?

1. Many people have approached me on a way to donate to the site and support the efforts that drive this blog.

2. Originally, when this application was built it ran on my laptop computer. To handle the load of users using these tools, I moved them over to higher capacity web server and database. There are monthly costs involved to maintain these servers.

3. With the growth of the blog, there have been significant demands on my time to support the tools, write new posts and answer many questions on a daily basis.

4. With growth and funds to support new development projects I can continue to build out new ways to streamline stock analysis and selection.

How much will it cost? I have not nailed down a price but I can tell you the it will cost substantially less than any other screening service I have seen out there. We're talking around the cost of a Starbucks coffee per month.
