Yep – that’s the way it is now. SXP is being “phased out.” Sucks, honestly. They’ve been on the rise for me.

Hi Matt

I Just checked my stockxpert account and a wierd message was waiting for me dated 15th june. Which i have emailed them about. But i was wondering if you knew what was going on. They were saying that because Getty has taken over them they are no longer contributing the photos.com and JLimages (or something like that from memory) and advise that i consider uploading my images to IS in future!!! What have i missed?

Steven.

Lee – good point about having it handed to you. I’ll see what I can do.

G – I think they will bounce back because I had a terrible month, below expectations. That means they should resume expectations, good or bad. That’s one bounce. I am uploading consistently and gaining momentum – that’s two bounces. And I expect at least 1-2 EL which I didn’t get in May. That’s 3 bounces. I expect a HUGE SS bounce.

What’s your reasoning behind SS bouncing back in June? Their search engine “upgrade” has just been plain wonky! “Newest” ends showing the same stuff day after day, “most popular” is somehow not the most popular, and sometimes our photos just plain don’t show up! I don’t see why they fixed what wasn’t broke. The way it used to work was that you ULed a crapload and made a crapload. Sadly those days seem to be gone.

I’m not worried about how pretty the post is, I’m just lazy and want it all handed to me.

Good point about context though. Food for thought indeed.

Lee,

All of the charts are there – just in one organized place.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pZEgM338rPYAiUQorCHGoYQ&hl=en

Under all-time earnings chart is a big one of my overall earnings. Under Recent Results is my May Earnings Chart and my 3-month-earnings chart. As you know, I don’t keep track of RPI as its useless.

I could put them in the post but I figure most of my figures are useless without ALL of the data – and keeping it in the spreadsheet makes sense to me as it puts it in perspective.

$100, $120, $27 – doesn’t make sense without the context, I think? You just want a prettier post, don’t you?
