Please check out my poll below!

It's been a long few months of inactivity on Commonstock. I've had limited time to do anything but focus on transitioning back to civilian life this spring/early summer.

I spent most of April and May in Germany preparing for the overseas move back to the US. I also had to complete a seemingly endless amount of paperwork in order to separate from the military.

After arriving back in the US in early June, I completed the separation process for the military (although I'm technically on terminal leave until 14 August, but I digress...). We moved to Knoxville, Tennessee in mid-June and have been settling in.

Right now, I'm preparing all the paperwork for college. I've also had some time to reconnect with my investments and the community.

The busyness I've had over this crazy market period has actually been a blessing. I've probably made better decisions (I haven't bought or sold anything since the declines began) because I've been too busy to focus on my portfolio's performance.

Coincidentally, my six month non-compete clause is about to expire in mid-July following my sale of VVI earlier this year. With more time to think and write, this couldn't come at a better time. Over the past few months, I've had some ideas for a brand-new publication. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to put much brain power into them lately with all the distractions.

Here's where I turn to you, fellow Commonstock(-ers)? Below is a poll to help me narrow down some community thoughts. I didn't want to use the poll function since it only allows for one question and I want more of a nuanced discussion. Let's talk in the comments.

  1. What kind of content do you feel is lacking in our community?

Note: Our community has lots of different types of content (weekly newsletters, equity research, content curation, etc.) but what do you feel is neglected?

  1. What content brings most value to you as a reader?
Note: I know the most popular answer here is probably actionable equity research, but that kind of content seems to be very bloated at the moment. If that really is the true answer, then fine, but I encourage you to try and think more outside of the box for a better answer if you please.

For instance, is it really the research itself that you enjoy, or the specific author's take? Maybe both?

  1. What type of content cadence or schedule do you prefer (or do you not care at all as long as the content is good)?

Note: The focus here is what do you find to be more of value. Something that's regular, repeatable, and digestible? Or maybe something quite less infrequent, but you know will be high quality every time.

  1. Do you prefer newsletter type publications or more lengthy story based content?

Note: I know which I prefer to read and/or write, but I am curious to what you all think.

Thanks everyone for helping me out and glad to be back!
