How would you rate this week's newsletter?
PS: Some of you have reached out to me stating that this newsletter is going to the promotions tab instead of the primary inbox in Gmail after I have shifted to Substack. This is mainly due to the usage of $ symbols for Stock tickers and using the terms Buy and Sell for analyst recommendations. Google AI mainly classifies emails containing these words as promotional e-mails.
It would be awesome if you could mark this e-mail as important or just reply to this email with a “hi” or any questions you have so that it always comes to your primary inbox and you won’t miss out on the weekly posts. Thank you :)
I’m a newer follower and receive your emails. What is the WoW price?
