Newsletters are a joke….
It would be a lot better if your the only one recieving them..lol…..but…90% of them already own the stock they are going to mention tomorrow, therefore when they send it out, the price goes up and they sell at a high and take crazy profits, and your stuck holding a stock that is going to come back down and it doesnt even belong in the “new price range”

You have to watch them awhile and decide for yourself.
Find comparison articles in magazines and trade journals.

Investment newsletters help only the people that are selling them for a ridiculous price. buy your self a mutual fund or two.

The trick is to find one that makes better guesses.

If you go to the horse races, they will sell “tip sheets” on what horse to bet on. Most of the investment newsletters I have seen seem to be of a quality similar to these tip sheets. They are not scientifically based, and are full of financial mumbo-jumbo. However, with the sheer number of newsletters out there, by luck alone, some will do well. I will admit, there may be some out there that are well put together, but I have not seen one yet. I suggest you buy yourself a mutual fund at Vanguard.com or Fidelity and ignore the newsletter.
