Today I opened a number of website notifications one after the other by clicking on them in rapid succession. The first tab loaded fine. Subsequent tabs gave me the "robot" message.

When I started visiting this site, a few years ago, the articles involving macro economics and other topics were espousing viable concepts regarding economics, markets, and specific investment thesis.  Today, it is inundated with scare topics, nonsensical correlations with gloom and doom times, and useless nonsense clearly crafted to provide readers with the need to either engage in political diatribes, or, as in my case, refute the nonsense with some historical facts as opposed to cherry picking specific but uncorrelated factoids. In other words, clicking for dough.  The other motivating factor is to create fear from investors so as to promulgate professional guidance to help the poor scared investor navigate his way through the coming economic collapse.  Frankly, it is losing its relevance, and losing some excellent prior contributors. I humbly include  myself in that group.

Thank you Lee for your feedback. We are working to diligently maintain a high level of article quality. Some Contributors complain we are being too strict in our guidelines and editing. We continue to strive for the correct balance while providing relevant articles for a diverse reader base.

Well, I would propose that contributing writers be prohibited from identifying their advisory firms on the article content or their name where the article appears.  Certainly, the writer can have info regarding any services he or she renders on their bio page.  In that way, a reader who is impressed with the articles content can click on the bio content and discover the services.

I have just submitted a time sensitive article on AQMS -any chance I can get it reviewed and up?

The fire at the plant will be driving the SP for a few days.

I have links embedded - As the news hit last night I wrapped it up and uploaded.

And of course everyone thinks their article is time sensitive - I am sure you see the humor.

Eli, So what is valid ID in your world? I am not sending a License or Passport with live data on it and hoping that the platforms you are using remain secure as updates are made over time.  I did send a faculty ID from a government institution - it has my name, picture, Faculty  and Site  on the front. Any chance that can be used?

I use the Brave browser and just today, this feature is making it impossible to use the website.  Every time I click on either my portfolio or dividends the "please click here to prove you are not a robot" pops up. I, then, go through a bunch captcha stuff and it sits on the page.  It's brand new today and is literally making it impossible to use the website with the Brave browser.  What a pain!

This keeps coming up with a captcha although even when I finish the captcha the pages still do not come up and it just sits there
