Don't Worry, The Blog Isn't Dead

It has been a couple weeks since I've posted and I apologize for that. The end of the year is always very hectic and this year that has been the case even more than usual. By the middle of the month, I'll be getting back to a more regular posting schedule, but I wanted to thank you all for your patience and let you know I'm still alive!

Here is what you can expect throughout January:

2008 Select List
The 2008 Select List research report will be released next week. You may purchase a copy of the annual Select List report as usual, but this year a Select List “Premium” offering will also be available. The goal of the premium product is to provide investors with a way to receive updates throughout the year on the list's stock selections.

Premium subscribers will receive email update alerts throughout 2008 discussing newsworthy stories on each company, as well as updated investment analysis based on any significant developments. News, comments, and analysis will be sent out pertaining to quarterly earnings reports, major new deals and contracts, and any other news that would be relevant to investors.

Reader feedback has indicated static reports are nice, but many people also want real-time updated opinions and analysis, so that is what this product aims to provide. As for pricing, the Select List report itself will cost $24.95, the same price as last year. The Select List “Premium” product will be $99.95, which includes the report and email update alerts through December 31st. You can read about the 2008 Select List on the Peridot web site, as well as place orders via PayPal.

If you pre-order the Select List or Select List Premium between now and next week when it is released, we will send it out to you as soon as it is officially released, so you can feel free to order starting today. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

Upcoming Blog Post Topics
Within the next week or two, I plan on writing on several topics on the blog to share my recent thoughts that have gone unspoken due to my busy schedule lately. Topics will include a look back at 2007 and lessons learned, an outlook for 2008, a view into the current consumer credit crisis, and a sector spotlight that looks ripe for long-term investment. I am looking forward to sharing my recent thoughts with you shortly, as soon as year-end related stuff is completed.

Thanks for your patience during this busy time and Happy New Year!
