Important Investment Resources: Financial Magazines

As you may realise, I read a lot about finance and investment. Much of this comes from magazines which help to keep me up to date with the ever changing investment world.

Either way, if you want to increase your chances of profits in the stock market, it is vital that you remain up to date and some of the best ways to do that are right here. So, I urge you to click on a link or two, have a look about and see if any of these publications 'float your boat'. If they do, go ahead and get subscribed. I have spent quite a bit of time looking to find some of the best prices available online, so you can be confident you are getting a pretty good deal. Reading one or more of these often will certainly help you in the long run.

As ever, best wishes and good luck!

SmartMoney is the most comprehensive resource for private investors, providing both decision making tools on every major personal finance topic and news on the latest investment opportunities.

SmartMoney was launched in 1992 by The Hearst Corporation and Dow Jones & Company to service the need for personal finance information among the group of professional and managerial Americans, who, while affluent and sophisticated, are overworked and overwhelmed. SmartMoney promises to answer the tough questions of those seeking clarity in the confused times that have arisen as a result of the nation's emerging new personal economy. In doing so, we've established a new standard in personal finance publishing and virtually redefined upscale service journalism.

With the refreshing clarity and provocative wit that characterizes The Wall Street Journal, SmartMoney presents practical yet highly imaginative ideas for investing, spending and saving, plus regular coverage of automotive, technology and lifestyle subjects including such areas as upscale travel, footwear, fine wine, music, food, and more. In all cases, we stress consumer service with action oriented information. We have enjoyed success in our short life because of an award winning editorial team that includes three Pulitzer Prize winners.

The magazine is packed each week with original stories on personal finance and investing produced by a full time staff of 65 reporters, editors and photographers. Led by Marc Frons, former senior editor of BusinessWeek, SmartMoney has assembled an award winning staff of senior level journalists with backgrounds from such leading financial publications as The Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, Forbes and Newsweek.

With timely and award winning information and financial tools, SmartMoney provides an indispensable service for people who want the greatest return on their investments.
