Dear GQ Community!
Today it's not about stock presentations, reviews, outlooks and performances. Today it's about all of you.
When I registered here almost exactly a year ago, I had no idea what a great exchange was taking place here. I just wanted to have a site where I could summarize my various portfolios.
Gradually, I started to enjoy not only reading posts, but also trying to become an active participant myself.
Over time, the daily exchange has become a permanent feature. That's not a given for my age. I'm not active on Insta, Tiktok, Facebook or X. I'm only here several times a day. And I would like to thank everyone who regularly interacts with me, praises me, criticizes me or responds in any way at all.
That brings us to wish 1.
I now have almost 2900 followers here. I think that's the most of all. I'm very happy about that.
My posts are read or clicked on by an average of 1500 members of the community. That's ok.
But of those who read the posts, only around 3-5% respond on average. I find that very sad and I know that the other very active members here feel the same way.
So I really wonder what is so difficult or time-consuming about leaving a like in whatever form as a small token of appreciation. Everyone who provides content here is happy about it because it is our free time that we sacrifice to share our ideas with you.
Even more unpleasant is the number of comments on these posts. On average, it is 1 -1.5% of those who look at these posts. I know that many have inhibitions, feel underqualified to write their own posts, but to write briefly on a post, I see it the same way, I see it differently, what do you mean by xy? It's really possible for everyone and would make me and the other top creators here happy.
This community lives from all of us, but only as long as there are enough active participants. And unfortunately I see the great danger that more and more great members are withdrawing. Here I would just like to give the example of Mal @EpsEra and @BamBamInvest whose content I miss very much.
So take heart, take an active part, show your appreciation. Nobody will stone you if something is illogical or not perfectly researched.
I have seen a few new active members here in the last few weeks who have dared to write their first post. Thanks for that, as well as to @Klein-Anleger or to @MrSchnitzel who have presented their first analyses. Keep up the good work!
Wish 2 goes to the people in the background of this platform. @christian and everyone else. You do a great job, but you could also contribute a little more to the functioning of this great community than giving 10 coins for every post of a certain size, which can then only be converted into merch. Why don't you reward the most active users here with free months, upgrades, or create the possibility to convert the coins into premium memberships. I'm not interested in saving €50 or €100 a year, they won't make me poorer or richer at the end of my life. But it's about recognizing the members who keep this community going and ensure that people like me stay here. Because I can also track my deposits elsewhere.
So that's it for this year! I wish everyone a happy new year and am curious to see what the reactions will be, if there are any from one side or the other 😉
