I’ve decided to end BHM’s Lifetime Subscription in light of the looming inflationary depression facing America. Only a few months ago we raised the price of a Lifetime Subscription from $500 to $600, but I think the inflation that is bound to take place during the next few years makes the offer a risky gamble for BHM.

We’ll accept any Lifetime Subs until publication of the next next issue (Jan/Feb 2008), when we’ll officially announce its termination. In the same issue, I also plan to suspend 4 and 5-year subscription offers, offering only 1, 2, and 3-year subscriptions.

It is only prudent for BHM, I think, that we offer products we can profitably service in the future. Our current number of lifetime subscribers is about 230. I don’t think it’s wise to go more than about 500. Also, the 4 and 5-year subscriptions could become a problem if inflation really takes off. As the economy settles down, I will offer these subscription options again.

This is part of my response to the passage by Congress of the $850 billion bailout package for Wall Street. As we are all part of the American economy, I think most small businesses will adopt options similar to what I am now implementing. The next several issues of BHM will encourage readers to prepare themselves along the lines I am preparing BHM.
