Your comments

Guys, it is pretty clear from David's emails that this is a well thought-through strategy and they have just decided to let users like us go. No point in wasting time here anymore because they are not willing to reconsider. I just bought barron's subscription (they are offering 52 weeks for $52) and that indeed is much better than SA as other readers suggested. Try it out.

They have to be really crazy to think people are going to shell out 30$+ every month to read basic articles & news. Why won't I just open a "Free" account on benzinga or yahoo finance to get the news that I was checking here? The only thing missing would be the comments that were indeed insightful and engaging but I am sure all the readers will be flocking to these sites after this very stupid move. I might be tempted to spend 5-10$/month for uninterrupted access but they are dreaming if they think anyone is going to shell out more.
