You are absolutely correct about my niche audience. The truth of the matter is that I write more for myself, to keep myself honest in what I do, a personal log for my trading that I share. Anything that is gained from steemit is as you say a "bonus", the real value to me at least is to so that "to thine own self be true." I think Alex is a great young writer, with much to share. By the number of views and comments, clearly he has insight, and a real finger on the pulse of this community.
