Just wondering whether anyone subscribes to any of TheStreet.com's newsletters?

How do you like or not like them?

I subscribe to The street.com and their stocks under $10. I could easily get by without either. The under $10 has been basically worthless. No chance of me repurchasing when it's done.
I am a subscriber of so many publications and web sites I lose track of what sometimes, and not that you asked, but IBD even though expensive is the one I would recommend the most. I get the paper delivered and the investors.com online. Barrons has paid for itself many times over as well (see the thread I started on SWHC ) for picks. WSJ and FT are ok for macro information but less valuable for trading.

I pretty much agree.

I tried just subscribing to eIBD and seldom used it. I recently went back to the paper edition and kept the eIBD as backup for when I'm on the road. Same with Barron's and The Wall Street Journal. I get botht the paper and electronic editions. I also subscribe to the options service at IBD, but it's not much more useful that the free options data I get at Think or Swim.
I find Morningstar.com useful for independent analysis and commentary and use their rating system to find stocks that I can buy leaps on.

I take Business Week and the Economist but they seldom give me stock trading ideas. Sometimes they warn me away from companies.

Bottom line, the best way to find stocks and options is to use screens at various web sites and your favorite charting service. Mine is stockcharts.com.

Aiki and others,

Anybody ever use Zacks? I've tried their free stuff but I'm not sure if its worth it. IT seems that they recommed stocks after they start to move, but maybe I'm in error.

I'm definatly going to get something, I'm ready to get IBD but would like others opinion on Zacks first.

Thanks
Rich
