DONATIONS ARE VERY APPRECIATED

I very much enjoy doing EDGE and ODDS and I am happy to offer it for free, with no advertising or annoying pop-ups.

However, I subscribe to many providers in order to constantly improve the blog’s content. With the lasting bull, inflation is high in financial circles and costs are rising.

Donations are most appreciated.

All donations are reinvested in research. Helping the blog actually helps you.

Donations can now be made using your Paypal account or a credit card.

Thank you for helping.

As a special thank you, donators get a password giving them access to “Edge and Odds’ Library” where I occasionally display unique stuff on finance hoping you will find some of it useful.

There is also the new Inside Insiders section. This section is for “Significant Donators”, those who meaningfully financially contribute to the blog.
