After welcoming more than 100 new members over the past week (a new record!) the Strawman community now stands at over 2,000<\/strong> investors strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a modest, yet noteworthy milestone. Especially given we don’t rely on paid marketing and grandiose promises to attract new members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, we ask our members to selflessly share their own research and recommendations, exposing them to the scrutiny of their peers and publicly tracking performance against the market. In an industry that typically shuns transparency and accountability, preferring instead to stoke the flames of greed & fear, it’s an unconventional approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it can, at times, be a daunting experience, we firmly believe it to be an empowering one. Honesty, humility and respect replace the bluff and bluster that is so typical of other investment forums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reputations are hard won. Trust is earned. And what ultimately emerges is, we believe, more genuine. More valuable<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need only look at the Strawman Index to see how powerful the collective intelligence of an engaged community can be:\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Strawman our goal is to build a network of investors that will both challenge and inspire you. That will empower you to approach the market in a more informed and confident manner, and to take greater control of your financial future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’re off to an encouraging start, but we’re only just warming up… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
