Investors Business Daily

I just canceled the subscription I had. The tools are OK, but the right wing constant rhetorical diatribes are just nauseating to say the least. If I wanted these views I would listen to Rush Limbaugh Or Sean Hannity who sometimes seem moderate to the obvious biases.

When looking for info on the world of stocks and bonds the IBD is a good place to start.

This is a good newspaper with TONS of financial data on individual stocks. But their recommendations are typically very reactionary and are pure momentum picks(where the stock has already appreciated substantially). Rarely are there any sort of contrarian picks or stock that have not already moved a good percentage in price.

Also, as has been mentioned before, their editorials are so right-wing that it makes for nothing more than sensational comedy.

This is a great paper for investors who like to do research. It is not a paper for editorial content. I found IBD's investment approach very logical. They give you all the data you need to find quality stocks. I have never read the editorials because their reputation. If I want editorial content I will go to newspapers or magazines.

The advice given in IBD is tremendously useful to both the novice investor and to the more seasoned investor. Following the CAN SLIM rules set forth by IBD along with the rules for investment success that IBD provides will enable you to be successful in your investment endeavors. The IBD 100 is a useful tool in which IBD ranks the top 100 stocks, based on fundamentals, etc. Obviously, the editorials prove to be controversial. If you're interested in making money and you don't agree with the views of the staff, simply don't read that page. I don't and I make money. If you want to ignore this paper simply because of its conservative viewpoints, you are probably doing yourself a great disservice. Yes, there are cheaper financial newspapers out there. The point; however, is not what you put into something--it's what you get out of it. The return on investment can be astounding if you let it.
