The Naked Capitalism community has spoken!. You’ve said you want this site to have more in-depth reporting and impact. You’ve provided concrete backing for your desire to have us demystify finance, call out corruption, shred propaganda, become more effective in our activism, give all of you a place to sanity check and blow off steam, and in our small way, help promote the establishment of a more just society.

We set an initial target of 1100 donors for our fundraiser. You met that over the first weekend We set a new gaol of 1350. You broke that early last week. We set a new target of 1600, which you beat Monday during our Harry Shearer challenge. Our target is now 1800. We are just a few donations short of beating it! We are at 1773 donations. Can you be one of the donors to push us over the top?

Help us make this the best fundraiser ever by giving in the home stretch at our Tip Jar!

And we are at $39,010, close to our target of $45,000 for original reporting!

Can you push us over the top? Ever little bit will help, whether it’s $5 or $50, or $5,000.

We’ve gotten SO many messages that it will take me some time to read through them all and reply properly. I wanted to share a few:

From Pavel:

Have to be stingy this year. I got laid off. I’m OK because of union-negotiated severance. Still, I have to watch pennies, so could do only $35. Well worth it. Naked Capitalism wades through the BS, so I no longer am drowning in it. I’ve been reading Naked Capitalism everyday since I found it during the House vote on Fast Track for the TPP. It was the first place I found that didn’t present the story as a bunch of euphemisms and journalistic taboos. Yes. The Dems were crooked weasels, including Obama.

Thanks to you as ever for one of the best sites on the web — I’ve been a loyal daily reader for years!

In for $50….Wish I could give more, but have to jump over and give Kevin Gosztola some love for his amazing Assange hearing coverage.

They should have retired a couple of journalism awards for NK’s work on Greece, and the combination of Yves and the commenters have given readers here an unparalleled ringside seat to the yearslong train wreck better known as Brexit.

I’ll check the Links and Water Cooler maybe once a week and am always overwhelmed by the amount of work Lambert and Jerri-Lynn have done over the years just to connect readers to the rest of the world. The assumption that we’re literate and care is just so refreshing. Thanks so much.

And Amy P:

NC is my go-to site every day, multiple times per day! I appreciate your thoughtful news aggregations, original posts, guest posts and the hard work of Lambert, JLS and moderators.

There is nothing else with the integrity of NC on the web, as far as I’m concerned. Hopefully the internet “kill switch” doesn’t make us go dark.

Thank you, again and again!!!

So, last chance. Be one of the final 50 to make this effort a smashing success.

If you can give a little, give a little. If you can give more, give more. If you can give a lot, give a lot. You are investing in being part of the solution. And thanks again for your support!
