The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ok, with all the sources of fundamental and proprietary ranking data out there, for collectively less annually than a VL sub, my question is why do you guys not cancel immediately and demand a refund for the unused portion (if you subscribed annually?) Can you imagine the crap data showing up in libraries? Do any libraries actually even keep the paper anymore?

We've got SI Pro, P123, Zacks, Stockcharts, Fidelity to name just a few. For about the same money collectively as a VL subscription, I'm guessing. Zacks is the only one with a proprietary rating system, but so what? We know what VL's system is based on, it was reverse engineered 20 years ago.

To VL, perhaps and overdramatically: the legendary speech most famously used against Neville Chamberlain: "Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go."
