Wow the illustrious company I find myself in as well as your kind words mean a lot - there is no greater recognition than that of your peers. Particularly as some rather nasty day jon related stuff has kept me from investing - no pun intended - as much time as I would like in SO. Thank you all and thank you @Kim.

Wow. Thank you so much. This really means a lot to me. I feel guilty taking the money as I learn so much here so I am going to donate it to a local charity here in Charlotte where I live.

So.. it's the end of the month, time for a decision. Since this is our first award, we have to take into account contribution of the last few months, not only one month. And this time it will be not one member but three.. surprise surprise.. The award goes to The Three Musketeers ( @gf58, @TrustyJules, @FrankTheTank) Thank you for your contributions, we all appreciate it very much!!

Thank you very much Kim 😁 Ive learnt so much from all members of the community and am proud that others have been able to get value from my own learning process. I may have said it before but the strength of SO is the depth of the community. The trades from you and @Yowster are invaluable for learning how to trade an options portfolio and the deeper understanding comes from the questions that arise. On many occasions I've seen other members ask the same question that Im scratching my head about and the replies from everyone express and openness and expertise that you wouldnt find any in many other places; everyone just wants to help where they can! Thankyou Kim and Yowster for bringing us together and that you everyone for making it such a great place to be. NB. Thankyou @Ringandpinion for the cool nickname! All for one and one for all. Very apt to describe SO!

I'm pleased to introduce a "Member of the Month" award. This award will be given at the end of every month to a member who had the most significant contribution during the month. The award will be equal to a monthly subscription fee, refunded to the PayPal account. How we will determine who get the award? One way to do it is based on members reputation - each time you like someone's post, their "reputation" gets an extra one point. Thank you everyone for your contributions! We appreciate it very much and hope that more members take part in our forum discussions. This is the whole purpose of SteadyOptions. Many thanks for @Ringandpinion for this excellent idea!

Great initiative Kim and @Ringandpinion. I probably classify as one of the old-timers here, and like many others who've been here a while, I'm no longer here for the official trade alerts but for the power of the community and the forum. Just look at the sheer amount of contribution made this year by The Three Musketeers ( @gf58, @TrustyJules, @FrankTheTank) - both in volume and quality. What other trading forum has members where someone : - Creates a snazzy python script and shares it freely for everyone to use - Creates a whole strategy based on trading call ratios and answers hundreds of questions in return - highlights a constant stream of unofficial trade ideas month after month. Without wanting to sound like a suck-up, I can honestly say that I have re-couped my entire SO subscription costs simply from these three guys. So, in my books, anything that rewards members who selflessly share so much, is a great idea.
