I like the logic that your own investment thinking will be skewed, by the information-consumption needs of that sliver of your readers. And that the results of that skewing might be far more substantial than the revenue you derive from them:
. . . The tail should not wag the dog.
As a free subscriber, I read you regularly, and find your work interesting, and look at the books that you review.
Sorry to hear that. It takes me a while to decide if I'm going to pay for something or not, and usually that entails stopping payment for something else. But I was, in fact, just on the verge of upgrading The Rational Walk to paid. So I guess we'll see what next . . .
I know I was leaning towards upgrading to a paid version. I appreciate all your excellent analysis and eye for detail. Looking forward to seeing other projects as they unfold. Cheers!
Really enjoy your newsletter, looking forward to see what you’ve got planned next.

For what it's worth, the conversion rate for my publication is about the same
Ravi,
No refund needed.
I will miss your thoughtful deep dives into all things Berkshire as well as other matters you explore so well.
Please keep me on your mailing list.
And most importantly, the best of luck with your future endeavors!
Sincerely,
Al Phillips

Sorry it didn’t work out as planned, and I’m kind of sad you will not write about Berkshire much in the future.

Its tough out there, i think the conversion rate was good. Mine is less than half a percent.
