Thanks for everyone’s patience.

We have decided to launch a very basic version of the forum and then add features every 1-2 days to avoid any crashes or bugs.

You can check out the new forum here: https://wire.io-fund.com

We’d like one more day to import the data from the old forum. We plan to start posting on Thursday, June 24th so please use Tribe for one more day.

As you’ll see, we are calling this a Wire rather than a Forum as we have begun to rely on the transmission of information on the community site. I find myself not wanting to miss out on the information posted on the forum and we think the word Wire best represents the critical and professional nature of the community.

Some bullet points:

• Downvote and Upvote is enabled. Similar to Reddit or HackerNews, the forum will be organized by which posts are the most popular.
• We are launching with “Trending” but plan to add “Most Recent” and “Most Popular” for sorting the posts. You will be able to quickly click through these three ways to sort the posts.
• Bookmarks are enabled right now so if you like a post and want to save it for later, you can hit the upper right tab and it will save to your bookmarks.
• You’ll be gaining points as you post. We will call this “equity” rather than “karma.” The benefit of this is that those who are down voted will see the effects of posting against our Forum Guidelines. On that note, the Forum Guidelines were written with the group in mind and after getting quality feedback from our members.
• Formal moderation is coming soon. If the flag button is hit enough times by enough members, then the post will be removed until it can be moderated by our team.
• I/O Fund Activity and Stock Setups in the menu will allow you to reference I/O Fund posts quickly. Knox’s trade setups will be going in the right hand where it says RECENT TRADE NOTIFICATIONS. These will automatically post when you get the SMS/email notification and will remain on the right side as you scroll through other posts.
• You’ll see a placeholder for Crypto. The plan is to allow subscribers to either opt-in or opt-out of crypto posts so you have a choice as to whether you see those or not. This will go live in the next 1-2 weeks.
• Slack and Mailchimp APIs are coming in the next 1-2 weeks to help you set alerts. For instance, you can get a weekly email of the top-ranking posts.
• The New Members tab will be a separate space for New Members to voice questions. This will hopefully alleviate the influx of posts we get on the main feed.
• You will have the ability to DM each other in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks again for your unwavering patience on this!

We want to extend a warm appreciation to our subscribers this past year. Since launching in July, the site has completely exceeded our expectations. We are keenly aware of the contributions all of you have made in helping this site become possible.

When we first set out, our goal was to take a stock picker who has analyzed technology and products for nearly a decade and combine this skillset with a calculated, technical trader. We think we’ve done a decent job of delivering bullish ideas this year with a wide range of analysis.

Here’s a snapshot of our coverage this past year:

• Snap
• Roku/TTD
• Alibaba
• Chainlink
• Nvidia
• Microsoft
• Uber
• Nvidia
• Shopify
• Slack
• Zoom Video
• Telaria

What to Expect in 2020

We are both dedicated to improving the site in 2020. For starters, we have been working on algorithmic safety nets to keep us in long positions longer and to help exit losing positions faster. We’ve been working on this system for months and it will become a premium benefit for subscribers that Knox will help to spearhead. Once we have this in place, we will begin to launch portfolios on various categories.

Please keep in mind that we write for both styles: buy and hold, as well as some active trading. When we recommend stops, we are simply making sure to provide the exit plans we use ourselves if there is an unforeseen market event. This ensures we lose no more than 10-30% while letting our winners run.

Stock Lists

Recently, we published a 2020 cloud software list followed by a few PDFs. We think cloud software has more room in 2020 than the market currently has priced in, and this is one reason we’ve been focused on this category.

We plan to publish similar lists for future technologies, such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. We will also publish more lists for common categories, such as semiconductors, finance tech (fintech), and a high conviction list (a conviction ranking has been requested a few times by our readers). We will start with the lists we think are most time sensitive.

These lists achieve a few things:

• Creates a master index of stocks in a category
• Organizes companies the market is most likely to reward based on financial strength
• Organizes which companies are most likely to surprise the market based on product strength
• Helps to track which companies are breaking out
• Short-lists the best companies if a trend breaks out
• Help to keep companies on our radar even if we haven’t been able to cover them with a full-length analysis just yet

We Appreciate Your Referrals

Paraphrasing on forums or social media about any wins you’ve had from our service is encouraged and much appreciated. We greatly appreciate all of the referrals you’ve sent us. We couldn’t do this without you.

Analysis can be a competitive field. We only provide original analysis, which requires domain technology experience and is incredibly time consuming. For this reason, please do not share the links to the lists or PDFs (i.e. the verbatim analysis).

We honor the premium site far and above our free analysis. In fact, I’d say my free analysis has suffered a bit since launching the premium site as I am giving my best ideas to the premium members. You will see me publishing more on Forbes this year, as well as MarketWatch, but my best work goes to the premium site.

Thanks Again …

Our mission is to help you make as much money as possible in the tech sector – and to provide value that goes above and beyond your subscription.

Our plan is to far exceed what we did in 2019 with in-depth tech analysis on companies you won’t find elsewhere and to combine this with smarter and sharper entries.

Thank you again for your vote of confidence and subscribership.
