Not a gamble
Ten years ago, the world of the owners and brokers of stocks and shares took its largest nosedive in the history of capitalist wheeling and dealing. Careers were ruined as stock markets dropped over 20% of their morning values across the globe.
Today, those who keep tabs on the markets are watching nervously as the indicators point to the possibility of a similar crash as we head to the end of this record run for Wall Street.
Those not caught up in the market frenzy that is the stock exchange probably include many of the readers of Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly. Supporters of the best progressive newspaper in Australia know that it isn't a gamble to invest money in such a solid project as Â鶹´«Ã½.
Many other alternative publications have come and gone over the years, the last being the recently folded Republican, but Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly has been going strong since February 1991 and will be publishing its 300th issue in six weeks' time.
Already readers are starting to take up the special solidarity subscription offer, $300 for a two-year subscription. Higher than the usual price for a two-year sub, the solidarity subscription is just that — an act of solidarity with the newspaper that is bringing vital news and informed comment to progressive readers in Australia and internationally.
Investing money in Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly by way of a donation to the fighting fund or by taking out a subscription to the paper will not bring any financial returns for the individual.
Instead of keeping a nervous eye on the share prices in the daily papers, those who support Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly financially will instead be content in the knowledge that their contribution will continue to keep the information sharing and networking role of the paper alive. So get some real returns for your money by supporting Â鶹´«Ã½ Weekly — it's your paper.
