Personally, I don't see good services, with differing trading strategies as competitive. No matter how successful SO gets, it will still only be for a portion of a portfolio. Unless SO grows into a more diverse role of overall portfolio diversification, we all need additional investment strategies that are complementary to SO. I feel fortunate to have found an honest service like SO and would join others of similar quality if I knew about them. That said, it is Kim's site, so his call. (Optional pun intended.)

You make a good point about diversification, including not relying too much on this service (or any other). It begs the question, what other services are available that have proven themselves to be high quality, profitable services in the long run? I'm sure there are SO members that have tried other services and some of them may have turned out well. (I'm sure horror stories are even more common, but I'd rather not open that can of worms here.) How about a discussion of other services which might complement SO and diversify our portfolios? Based on some of Kim's and Chris's posts, I can see a day when SO expands to include strategies other than pre-earnings volatility plays (well, it already does with the calendars and ICs) as a more diversified service, perhaps using additional market trend indicators to overweight and underweight the various types of trades at different times. Until then, some of us might like know where we can diversify our trading strategies, without falling into one of the many traps out there.
