In a previous post I lamented that Thirty Dollar Unit were behind on authenticating memberships to their newly created forum. I wrote that I was still waiting to be activated and that we would need to practice some more patience.

Well, patience has paid off and today I received my formal activation for the new forum. It probably won't surprise readers to hear that some of the delays have been caused by people submitting more than one application as they hadn't received instant authentication on their original application.

It seems to me that a lot of people have a knee jerk reaction when it comes to online investments and expect things to happen instantly. This is just not feasible in this sort of situation. What people should realise is that an individual member is just a very small part of the total invested population. Experience does show that online investments are generally poor at communication and by repeatedly sending in questions or additional applications will only increase the workload and delay things even further.

If I was to stress one point when asked what is important about online investing it is have PATIENCE by the bucketload as otherwise you will become very frustrated.

So, if you are a member of Thirty Dollar Unit and have not been activated yet then please just wait as it will happen.
