Modern Trader Magazine

[syswizard]

There are some specialized publications and blogs for specific commodity markets (metals, energies) that are very good.
But not an all-in-one.

Hmmm....sounds like something that would be valuable....a website that lists and ranks the relevant trading blogs and sites.

They made changes after going from 'Futures" to "Modern Trader". I considered leaving for reasons not relevant to discuss, but I've decided to stay with them for a time. Still a good read, occasionally a great read...depending on one's viewpoint.

I've seen some references in these forums, but I'd like to hear directly from subscribers.
Any value here ?
Does this replace the Commodities Magazine I used to get ?

Why don't you check it out? Old issues are available online for free.

Actually, here is the November issue:

You can send me half of the subscription fee as a finder's fee.

I've been getting the print free for years...signed up once at an EXPO and now once a year they send me an email asking if I want to continue.

I have no idea how it came to be but I've been getting it for free (print) for 20+ years or more (?). While much of it is beyond me, I have found many of articles that have expanded my knowledge in areas of interest.

In order to boost circulation to get better rates for advertising they offered free subscriptions for years, just had to sign up.

Although I was a long time paid subscriber somehow how I got myself on the free gravy train for many, many years now.

Somehow (maybe with a new credit card) we got free subscriptions to a dozen magazines. I don't read magazines anymore because they are behind the internet by a few days/weeks and they keep coming! Even fucking Golf, and I never golfed in my life. Somebody please stop the madness!

They need to show a big readership to their advertisers so they give it away for free/very cheap. I think this is just wasting the forest and ink.
