Email Delivery of BI Research

BI Research  also offers delivery by email. The issue is normally printed on a Monday and mailed at the post office in New York City late Monday afternoon, and under normal conditions the email edition goes out that evening.  If Monday is a holiday, then it's all shifted one day. Recall that we gnerally publish every 6 weeks, so you know when to look.  Our publishing schedule is posted elsewhere on this site.

Advantages of  Upgrading to Email Level Service-

•  For starters you get a jump on the action with lightning fast delivery of each issue.  Imagine saving $.25 or even $1 per share on your purchase of one of our recommendations as compared to your entry price after awaiting snail mail delivery.
• Email subscribers also get the added advantage of instantly receiving via email the full text of every update on our telephone Update Line.  This generally translates into another 8 to 16 pages of timely information on our companies between each issue.  At a minimum there are two regularly scheduled Bi-weekly Update Lines between issues (when advice changes may be made).  But usually there are a number of interim updates as well covering important developments between the scheduled biweekly Update Lines (which are then summarized in the next regularly scheduled biweekly Update Line or issue).  However, you may not realize there is an interim update line.  Email subscribers get every update as soon as it is issued, don't have to listen through company updates that don't concern them, and don't need to take notes or call/listen twice if they missed something.
•  Sometimes interim Update Lines come right on the heels of a regularly scheduled Biweekly Update Line, before we feel everybody has had a chance to hear the Biweekly Update, and thus these have to wait a few days before they can be recorded.  Email subscribers get these without delay.
• In addition Update Lines emailed to Email subscribers often contain valueable links to important articles concerning our stocks, that are impractical to read into the telephone Update Line (most of these URL's are just too long).
• Email subscribers are also the beneficiaries of occasional unofficial bonus ideas, such as stocks too small to recommend to our full subscriber base.

Suffice it to say that the renewal rate for our Email Subscribers is the highest within the BI Research subscriber base.  For email subscribers BI Research is very dynamic with Updates coming automatically whenever there is a significant development in one of our stocks.  It's the ultimate service.  The charge for this expedited delivery is $60 per year on top of the basic snail mail subscription cost.  If you already have a subscription, the cost would be prorated at $5 per month to align with your current expiration date.  For example, if you have 9 months left on your subscription, it would cost an extra $45 (9 X $5) to bring the remainder of your subscription up to the Email  Level Service.  The term of each must coincide.

The Economics-

I think you would have to agree, the additional cost for the Email upgrade to receive the full text of each newsletter perhaps days before you usually do and instant Email delivery of Hotline updates would most likely be more than made up by just saving 1/4 of a point on your first purchase of one of our new recommendations, depending on how many 100's or 1000's of shares you buy.  More than likely, you might save a full point, or more- meaning you'd only have to buy 100 shares to be way ahead of the snail mail game. And, if you buy 1,000 shares, or even 500, and save a point or two on your purchase… you could easily save a $1,000, or more... on a $60 investment.  And if you make several such trades...  It doesn’t take a Certified Financial Analyst to figure that one out!   Frankly, we make a little more money, but you can make a lot more money. All email subscribers still get a mailed copy for "insurance" (for example, in case your server is on the fritz , your computer has a virus that week, you forget to tell us about your new email address, a security filter at your end screens us out... I could go on and on...). It is also our most concise (2-sided) format for filing.

The newsletter goes to most Email subscribers in Adobe (pdf) format. (The Adobe reader can be downloaded easily and for free at www.adobe.com.  Look for the yellow icon and follow the instructions.)   A prorata refund of the email portion of your subscription is available to you up to the final 2 months of your subscription.

If you are interested, let us know as follows-

If you are a new subscriber -just use the form (by printing it out) in our customer service section and mail it with your check, adding $60 per year to the rates shown (i.e., introductory email level service rates for 1, 2 and 3 years are $155 ($95 +$60), $270 and $375).  Sorry, we don’t take credit cards.  Prorata refunds are available (see above).   Please note your email address in the space provided.

If you’re an existing customer- you can find out how many months you have left by checking the envelope from your next (or last) issue and including that with your correspondence. ("1/04" = 1/31/04).  Otherwise, you can Email us (from the Customer Service section, or at BIRSTOCKS@AOL.COM) to request this info. Then just send your check for an additional $5 per month remaing to align with your current subscription along with a brief note, your clearly written Email address (double check it!) and postal subscription address so we can be sure we are updating the correct subscriber. You can also add $60 per year to your renewal you receive in the mail. And if you still have one or two months left on your current subscription, please include $5 per month for those remaining months also when you renew/upgrade, if you'd like email delivery to begin at once. (Include a brief note, we'll figure it out). The email option is not on the renewal form yet, but if you note that you have included an extra $60 per year for Email delivery and provide your email address… that will do the trick. Sorry, we don’t take credit cards.

This offer is not available on discounted trial subscriptions under 6-months-  If that is your situations, you would need to renew in order to be eligible for Email delivery.  Add the $60 per year for Email delivery plus $5 per month remaining on your trial subscription, again tell us your Email address and what word processor you use.  (If  you had, say, 3-months remaining, the Upgrade would cost $15 +$155 = $170, and you would then expire in 15 months.)

Frankly, if you are a subscriber, it is easiest to use the mailing envelope your next issue arrives in (because it has your address, expiration date and subscriber ID# on it, for example, AZZ1234) and send us a note right on it, as above.
