The computer crashed and ate one of my posts, so I won’t have an article this evening. I do want to ask a question of my readers, though. How has website response been for you? As the readership has grown, it has seemed that my website has gotten more sluggish. Is this your experience, or not? Either way, let me know.

David encourages you to do your own independent "due diligence" on any idea that he talks about, because he could be wrong. Nothing written here, or in my writings at RealMoney is an invitation to buy or sell any particular security; at most, David is handing out educated guesses as to what the markets may do. David is fond of saying, "The markets always find a new way to make a fool out of you," and so he encourages caution in investing. Risk control wins the game in the long run, not bold moves. Additionally, David may occasionally write about accounting, actuarial, insurance, and tax topics, but nothing written here or on RealMoney is meant to be formal "advice" in those areas.

David,
I’ve never had any problems with speed of service; sometimes the charts haven’t loaded up properly, but I don’t think that’s related. On a separate issue, I’d be interested in your subsector analysis of the insurance stocks again this earnings season, if you want to do it.

Yes page loading does have issues at time. Though it generally comes up after a minute or two.

I’ve seen errors with you MySQL connection at times, and ran into an issue with posting a comment (getting no response, trying again, and ending up posting a duplicates). But overall the performance has been good.

Thanks for the feedback, I am talking with the host about quality issues. In general, things seem to be doing adequately, considering the growth in traffic here. I’m using around 1% of the total resources that they say I have, so any problems are not for lack of bandwidth paid for.
