Which is why I avoid such newsletter and rather rely on my own stock screens. Certainly a very good topic to bring attention to.

We run a discretinary business, but I often get calls from clients about the latest 'hot pick' they have on an email or magazine that they have read. I am not saying they are all useless, far from it, but, as Jeremy says "looking at it with a critical eye" is the best advice around. Amen to that.

Follow advice that teaches you how to invest for yourself. Advice worth looknig at to me is based on results...I like Jim Kramer & Toby Smith because you can SEE their portfolios. They are putting the money where their mouth is. I read a lot of those newsletters, or at least the teaser emails they send…but don’t pay for the subscriptions.

There is good information out there, but it is just important that you look at it with a critical eye. The big problem is when people just take the information in them as gospel and act solely on it. A little education and some awareness can help you pull useful information out of the newsletters though. That’s right, guys.
