Do you still read Barron's over the weekend?

You also get Online Barrons during the week, and the Online WSJ included in the same price.

Not true anymore. They recently changed their pricing and price each separately.

Subscribed for years back in the 90's. Used to be a really good options guy, can't recall name. Does Alan Ableson still write for them?
 
Quote from cknucks:

Yes. The paper is chock full of trading ideas on a weekly basis. I've gotten a ton of stock, options and futures trade ideas from reading it. Also, I consider it to be useful in wrapping up the week that was.

The one problem I have, however, is valuing a publication's worth to my trading. Barron's gave me a few stock plays that I might not have happened upon, so I rationalize that the $119 I spent on WSJ/Barron's pays for itself. But that line of thinking could be used for any number of publications out there.

Do they give futures/commodities trade ideas or just stocks??
 
This last weekends edition had some good articles on Wheat, and some Commodity Hedgies Interview.

Yeah he writes the opening article alot, you can tell he thinks he's pretty cute.
 
The website isn't very informative about this..

Can I ask??

You guys are referring to a weekend edition??

When is it delivered?? or are yall getting it electronically??

thanks
 
Are they still pumping GTW? They really didn't seem to want to give up on them or CSCO.

I don't blame the mag itself, just some of their more persistent people that they take ideas from. If I remember correctly they planted Wagonner on the front w/ a nice article right when GM peaked at 50 in 03 about what a great turnaround was finally taking place.

Remembering the bad is too easy.

The roundtable, I find a bit annoying. I do like some of the people they interview. Santoli is definitley good and the crotchedy guy, Abelson, is good for all of his nuggys but is so decidedly negative, save for when he's kissing a pro's arse, that I can't really help but skim through the prose after a few sentences.
 
Ableson (and Barron's in general) have called 83 of the last 2 recessions, as well as a bursting of the housing "bubble" almost every week from 2002 on.

Barron's thinks the sky is perpetually falling.

That being said, I still get my issue and read it every week. :D
