Before Commonstock, I wasn't a social media person. You all changed that—thank you!

Discussing, sharing, and debating with you here has been fantastic and made me wiser. I am grateful for this. Having 500 brilliant and engaging followers with contrasting backgrounds and approaches has humbled and motivated me.

To celebrate this milestone, I will give away five complimentary six-month subscriptions to Valuabl, my journal of the financial markets. These half-yearly subscriptions are usually $359 (but are worth so much more).

To enter, upvote and repost this memo, follow me here on Commonstock, and take out a free or paid subscription to Valuabl. You must do all four to participate. On Friday, I will draw, contact and announce the five winners.

Thank you, everyone, for what you've given me. It's time for me to give something back and for us to celebrate.

"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."

—Leonardo da Vinci
