Hello Friends!  Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting my blog, Stock Picks Bob's Advice!  As always, please remember that I am an amateur investor, so please remember to consult with your professional investment advisers prior to making any investment decisions based on information on this website.

I had an interesting note from Traci Scharf from Lunametrics who asked me very nicely if I could possibly share a request from her about website reviews.  I don't usually do this kind of thing, but she was very polite and persistent---two traits that even a skeptic like myself finds hard to resist---and thus here is her request.  I don't usually do this sort of thing, but here is her letter, and any of you are free to pursue this or not.

"Bob,

Please pardon the out-of-the-blue e-mail.  I stumbled onto your blog today (very cool!) and wanted to see if you could help me with something.

I'm doing some market research for a client and need to find a handful of people to give me (paid) feedback.  I specifically need to find individuals who closely manage their stock portfolio based on technicals and fundamentals (revenue, market cap, ROE, EPS, etc) -- like you and people who probably subscribe to your blog!

I'm looking for five people who can spare a half hour of their time to give us feedback on our client's website. It takes about a half hour and we offer $50 compensation in return.

Would you be willing to help out?  And / or:  you are welcome to post this offer and my contact info on your blog (using my personal e-mail -- traci.m.scharf@gmail.com -- in order to keep my work account protected) if you are willing.

Since you don't know me from a hole in the wall, please know that I'm not selling anything and that I keep our user testers' names and contact information absolutely private.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
-Traci

Perhaps some of you can earn $50 on this.  I don't like to advertise things for other people, but it seemed like a legitimate letter from a legitimate person.  If you do participate, would you please let me know if you feel this letter doesn't belong on my blog.

Have a great evening and a great week ahead!

Bob
