Top Investing Newsletters
The amount of investing newsletters on the market could keep you reading forever. The problem is most are not worth the expense of the annual fee.A key in choosing a newsletter is to look for long term performance-the longer the better. If you evaluate them for less than 10 years, a few lucky stock picks can or an investment style with short term performance can give a misleading view of the true performance that may be experienced over a truer investing period.
The following three newsletters have shown great returns over a ten year period (including the terrible 2001-2002 period) though have quite different investment approaches. The Buyback Letter Standard Edition focuses on companies that are buying back their stocks.
Performance: 16%.* 12 issues. $195/yr. 888-289-2225 or www.buybackletter.com
Investment Quality Trends analyzes blue-chip stocks, a relatively conservative approach that reduces volatility. Performance: 12.8%. 24 issues, $310/yr for printed copy…$265/yr for on-line access. 858-459-3818 or www.iqtrands.com

Each newletter follows a disciplined single system of investing yielding above average returns over a significant time-table. These returns over time are significant considering that any single system will be out of favor with the market at some points and is why a longer view of performance is so important. Also consider the risk-adjusted return because though a newsletter may show good returns it may include very volatile picks that you don’t have the stomach for. When picking a newsletter it is wise to consider your individual goals, style and tolerance for ups and downs in the value of your portfolio.
