Hi Strawman,

Thanks for the webinar session tonight. I have been a member of Strawman since about 2021 I believe, when I first heard you chatting with the Equity Mate lads.

I have mostly been a member trying to watch and learn off others in that time. When the premium membership was introduced, I knew it was something that I had to one day join. For me, the cost of membership is like paying for a higher education course, but I believe this platform offers far greater value.

I understand the basic concepts but am eager to expand my thinking and understanding to align with the way many members here.


Thanks for having me!

Welcome to the fold @pubenvelope, and thanks for the kind words.

Following the session last night it's become clear that members would value more educational content. I'll look to schedule a few sessions once earnings season dies down, but I'll also suggest this thread if others have any educational resources they find valuable and would like to share.

And I'll put it out an open invite again to anyone here who feels they've got some experience/insight/process etc they'd like to share. We've had some crackers from members@Solvetheriddle, @Rick, @Saiton, @Wini, @BkrDzn previously (apologies if I forgot anyone!)

@Strawman

How about asking Ben Clark from TMS Capital to come and talk? I find he has an interesting and consistent approach to investing. It would be educational to hear from him.

Just a thought bubble….

Great suggestion @Shapeshifter -- he's a smart cookie

(Whenever i was on a panel with him, i was always in awe of how he could throw off all kinds of details without reference to notes or a computer)

And yes, I'm a total sycophant re STP lol

Great suggestion, Ben is a deep thinker (and researcher), clear communicator, straight shooter.

We've just opened our doors to new members, so expect to see a few new names about.

If you've just joined us -- welcome!! (And apologies for the initial drama with our payments page..)

Please feel free to introduce yourself. We're a friendly bunch, so don't be shy :)

We'll host a welcome session to walk you through the platform when we close the doors again, but in the meantime if anyone has any questions you can ask here on the forums, or DM me, or just email me at andrew@strawman.com

Onwards and upwards!

Hi team, we've just re-opened Strawman Premium to new members, so expect to see some new names in the coming days.

If you're new to the community -- WELCOME!

We'll hold an induction session for new members when the open is finished (likely early next week), but if you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can email me directly at andrew@strawman.com or direct message me here on Strawman, or even just ask on our forums.

If you'd like to introduce yourself, or read up on some of our member backgrounds, there's an existing thread here.

Here's to a productive and prosperous year!

Once we close the re-open, we'll host a welcome and induction session for new members. But in the meantime, if you have any questions, or just want to say hello and introduce yourself, this forum is for you.

Hi Straw,


I'm a medical professional with a deep interest and curiosity in investing but really only at any depth over the last 2 years. I have a strong interest in small caps/micro caps and a bent towards med tech/biomed but really interested in any business that looks like a good investment.


I wish I'd run into the Strawman while ProMedicus was a smallcap.


Best wishes all

Hi All

It's great to finally make amends for missing the first round of premium membership invitations to Strawman. I'm a lawyer by trade and have been a student of investing since 2019. Look forward to learning from you all and eventually making some meaningful contributions to the discussions (however far away that may be!).

Cheers

Hi Mark, Gaz & Kev, Welcome all! And to all other new members. Just to let you know - there is a forum titled "Strawman Member Backgrounds" which you can jump to by clicking here - in which many of us have shared as much or as little as we wanted to about our backgrounds. Purely if you want to. No pressure. The original concept behind that particular forum thread was to get an idea of the variety of backgrounds that we have here across the membership - and believe me, there is a LOT of variety here, covering a wide array of industries and other fields.

There's some general discussion at the top of the forum thread - which you can safely skip through until you get to the good stuff. You'll know it when you see it - it's where people give a brief run-down of their own backgrounds, and some discuss what they're looking to achieve either from their investments and/or from their Strawman.com Premium membership.

Like I said, you can choose to share as much or as little as you like, or give it a miss if you prefer, but reading through it is highly recommended, to give you an idea of the backgrounds of just some of the hundreds of members who make up Strawman.com Premium. We're a pretty diverse bunch!

P.S. I almost forgot - @umop3pisdn (which is apparently best read upside-down) very kindly created a spreadsheet with a lot of the main data in it gleaned from that forum thread - which can be accessed by clicking here.
