ABT's operating expenses generally fall into the following categories:
Investment expenses=the cost to purchase or sell a stock (ex. $9.99 per transaction)
Research expenses=the cost to purchase access to research tools and services (ex. Value Line, Toolkit, Risk Grades, etc.)
Member publications=newsletters, other publications, print stock, etc.
I believe these expenses should be funded by special member fee assessments versus from our general fund. These costs average approximately $1200 per year or $100 per member.
