Your little group is the best, in my view, the best value reading I find throughout the week. I look forward to every article and find them educational along with the entertainment and historical value. Also very much appreciated is the huge dose of common sense.

I've been following for several years and really like the lack of outside advertisements that always had to be filtered through to read your material.

Thank you,

Jerry Hobbs

Bill's missives, though contrarian to be sure, offer a glimpse into the soul of humanity and the sheer folly of man. The blend of Dan's macro-strategic direction and Tom's micro (tactical) trading provide a guardrail for us all to follow in these troubled times. All three have be quite prescient over the years as we now endure the collapse of the "everything bubble," so ably predicted in these pages years ago. Joel's editorial work entertains, and though lengthy at times, there is always a learning point or word to look up and make us all a bit more educated. The team is cleverly and carefully crafted by Bill to give us the unbridled truth: something that is rare or nonexistent in other forums of media. Thanks you all!

I like all the events that are written! Continue on. Todays Sunday session is an eye opener, not hat I could not see Mankind, but a better perspective. With books to back up the statements. Thanks Loads! Regards Don H.

You should have had a choice, "all of the above".

I think that between the "Entertainment value/storytelling" button and the "Other" button, you should have included an additional button labeled "All of the above"! I find all of the areas of your work to be of value to me. From time to time I might regard one area as having more value than the others, but overall, I value them about equally.

Yes Joel, “(Obviously the attack on the Jews of Germany was no emotional outburst of the Nazis, but a deliberate, planned campaign.”) As I believe the obvious attack on our Republic, is no emotional outburst of pure ignorance from the democrats, but a deliberate, planned campaign of the Chinese. 🤔

Please don’t change anything.

The honesty, wit and humour of your writing is so refreshing in these dark days. I subscribe to various financial newsletters but always open Bonner emails before any others and read in full.

Making a selection of the single part of the subscription we value the most is for me too difficult. For us it is the totality of the offering that is the true value. If any piece were missing, the value of the totality would be diminished. At our house, my wife reads every offering aloud - she was an elementary school teacher for 35 years and loved reading to her students. Each day I print a copy, she reads aloud and I follow along on my computer screen.

For us, it is the total package we treasure. To select one piece as most valuable would, in our case, not give proper value to the total it deserves. To select a single piece as the most valuable requires we think of the value added by the others. The financial advice and geopolitical essays from Tom and Dan, are truly excellent and profitable so far. And, of equal value to us is the enjoyment we get from the uniquely educational and entertaining offerings from Bill and Joel. For us, the value of one part of subscription cannot be separated from the value of the whole. And the whole is truly amazing. There is none like it and so very worth the price and time.

We have been subscribers from the beginning and have enjoyed and appreciated each and every piece (some more than others, but no duds) and trust you will continue to educate and entertain us well into the future. Thank you so very much.

Thank you, Bill, for shining a light in the growing darkness. We may or may not come come out the other side of this storm in one piece, but we largely have you to thank for making us look over our shoulders and look at what's coming.

All of the choices contribute to the quality of your newsletters—hard to just pick one! Keep doing

what you’re doing.

What do you value most about your subscription to Bonner Private Research? All the above! And the price. Almost all investment newsletters are too expensive and lack consistent and verifiable results to justify the price, and you're overwhelmed with sales pitches for other products and services.

I love everything about BPR, except the proofreading. Dan needs to either read what he writes before publishing it, or hire someone to make corrections for him. Sometimes I can barely understand what he's written due to the flubs. I could only pick one option in the poll, so let me also say I love the stories, the sarcasm, the wit, and everything else needed to pick apart today's political and economic agendas.

Mark M. The SVB situation prompted me to research the status of other banks as pertains to their holdings of mortgage backed securities and other government issued paper. There are several banks that have huge paper losses in government paper that they have not sold or marked down yet. Much of that paper had a 1.5-1.9% coupon. We all know that as rates rise, bonds prices fall. It’s not a pretty sight. If the banks were ordered to sell those securities, the losses could be equal to a few years of their most current yearly earnings. I assume that their stocks would be subject to considerable swings in their price. I guess time will tell.

Anything that makes me, or anyone for that matter, THINK is good. The writing is top notch. I have had to look a few words up which I find refreshing. I figure you are talking to us mere mortals and not down to us. Much appreciated. In day to day life I am in deep touch with the hoi palloi (I hope I spelled that correctly) and find most uninformed. Rather doltish. And yet, I am impressed with a few that actually THINK and ponder and question the things in this complex world. You help me to explain some things from a different angle than the masses. Thank you. Carry on, good men!
