Don't know about you guys, but I'm an information junkie. I like to know why things are doing what they're doing. For instance, if Barron's comes out with a major article on WMT (they did in the last year), I think that's an important piece of information. Certainly WMT is in the Dow, has an influence in the SPX, and therefore may have somewhat of an impact on the corresponding futures contracts. There's a difference between seeing that the futures are up for example, and knowing they're up because of a WMT recommendation, and what specifically was said.
You also get Online Barrons during the week, and the Online WSJ included in the same price.
I've been reading Barron's now for over 30 years. I used to have to go to the newstand on the weekend to get it. Now having the advantage of getting it online for a lower price is hard to beat.
An occasional good idea is all it takes to more than pay for the cost of it.
