Supporting T$R
- May 28, 2024
The Shareholder Report is NOT sponsored and is NOT paid by any profiled company. Membership is FREE.
T$R solely relies on the generosity of members to cover its costs. Since the addition of the website in 2022, it’s been a struggle to simply cover the basic costs to make my research readily accessible to people.
It is mentally challenging to do this with minimal compensation and minimal support from members.
Your support is greatly appreciated.
Reasons to Support T$R
The following are some of the many reasons one might want to support T$R:
- Encourage T$R to continue
- Contribute to T$R's success
- Motivate T$R to produce conent
- Want T$R to remain independent
- Contribute to a bigger domino effect
- One has benefited by T$R in any way
- Appreciation of TSR's content & service
- Contribute to the success of a profiled company
- Increase T$R's effectiveness with more tools to accomplish its mission
- Help support D4 (T$R's founder) as he will soon be medically released from the military on 02 July, 2024 due to 2 chronic illnesses. A normal job is not possible and he has't been approved for disability benefits.
Non-Financial Support
T$R is still new and isn’t well know yet. The smaller the audience, the harder it is to remain motivated to create time consuming content.
The following are way to support T$R using non-financial methods:
- Spread the word T$R (more views = more motivation to create content)
- Give a thumbs up on content you like
- Provide feedback - clickable link to the testimonials page
Expansion = Bigger Domino Effect
Although T$R was successful with its first profiled company (prior owning a website), it did so using only Twitter and Telegram. With the right tools, T$R will be significantly more effective in initiating the domino effect which contributes to a profiled company’s success.
Financial Support
Owning a free membership website that costs money is not a sustainable business model.
With an imminent medical release from the military (Spring 2024) due to two chronic illnesses that prevent me from working a normal job, my pension is not enough to meet my family’s financial obligations (assumes worse-case scenario with my stock portfolio). In an ideal world, I’m hoping T$R allows me to support my family after I’m forced to retire.
Restrictions on Donations/Gifts
In order to remain independent, you CANNOT financially support T$R if any of the following are items are applicable:
- You (or an immediate family) are compensated by a publicly traded company
- You (or an immediate family member) are a director, officer, management, insider or employee of a publicly traded company
If any donation has the possibility of jeopardizing the independent status of T$R, it will NOT be accepted and it will be refunded (processing fees will not be reimbursed).
