Mailbag: Why aren’t you writing Taipan anymore?

Posted January 9, 2008

Question: I opened my January 2008 issue of Taipan and found that the entire editorial crew has been changed. There was a note by one Sandy Franks that talked noncommitantly about change and growth. There’s one Justice Litle I have never heard about. I’ve been a Taipan member for years and don’t know those new people from Adam! What happened there?

Answer: Last fall, long-time Taipan editor and publisher J. Christoph Amberger decided to continue publishing on international and domestic profit opportunities via new media, through TodaysFinancialNews.com.

“It is quite difficult to change the structure of an existing business, especially in the publishing field,” said Christoph. “Over the years, you accumulate so many processes and process managers that it becomes difficult to re-establish the immediate connection with the reader and customer. And that’s what made our e-letters so effective and fun between 2000 and 2005. The new software we’re using re-establishes this immediacy, via the newsfeed, which can be received instantly on news readers and cellphones.”

Taipan regulars will no doubt notice that the “old” editorial core team is now at TFN. Even better, our content is free!

Our focus remains on what we have been doing since 1988 at Taipan: We’re here to give you our unbiased perspective on the world stock markets. Our focus is picking good, profitable stocks for our readers… companies with superior potential for double- and triple-digit gains for medium- and long-term investors. And fast, nimble trades that move quickly on micro-trends and event-driven market swings.

When it comes to investing, we’re agnostics. We rather make money in the markets right now than wait for the apocalyptic visions of our colleagues and competitors to unfold. In the past, we have leveraged almost each and every major trend into stok profit… from the first opening of China, the fall of the Soviet Empire, to the rise of virtual reality, the Internet, and breakthrough investments in medical technology.

So stick with us on our way to financial independence… the old Taipan and new TFN way!
