I am confused. I am grateful for what I have gained from Strawman. My understanding is that it was a game based on real world elements. Therefor it was a place where you could find ideas and different perspectives on valuing companies. Also a learning resource. As someone that invests a small portion of family savings into shares I may never be an exclusive club style contributor. I don't know enough. I would be interesting in paying a small subscription to fund the overall community... the other 97%. The exclusive club idea seems counter to what I thought Strawman was built on. 

Organisational -  IMO we should have comments linked either linked to an asx code (shares) and show Tim's reasons to buy or sell and allow others to comment on the share. And a general forum for anything not related to an Australian share. Readers can rate the comments and their comments can be sorted by ratings, date, contributors  

I have to say as a relatively inexperienced investor I enjoy Strawman and looking at other members opinions and valuations on companies. Would I pay for premium? The truth is I am not sure and would have to think about it when I see the price point. Currently with other premium based products they would give you recommendations and I assume that this is what Strawman will do?

I am sure Strawman premium will be a huge success and wish Andrew all the best with this, I will continue to be a strawman supporter whether I am a premium member or not.

I am someone who is relatively new to investing, however my knowledge levels are quite low and thus I have very little to contribute to a site like Strawman at the moment. In fact, when I see members contributions through Straws and in the forum, I feel quite intimidated and feel I have a long way to go before I have anything sensible to add. Having said that, as someone who is a newbie, I find being a Strawman member extremely beneficial as part of the educational process and would be more than willing to pay to become a Premium member. It would be a shame if members like me are unable to join just because we don't, or are currently unable to contribute anything of value to the site. Sitting in the background and reading as much as possible is a huge benefit to me, and I find a lot of the other free sites too light on detail to get anything more than a superficial view. Getting insights from "real world" investors nicely rounds out the views coming from journalists and "professional" investors and I am prepared to pay for that. Hopefully, members like myself won't be excluded on the basis we don't contribute enough to the site.
