Two e-zines that I usually “rip open”

August 19th, 2005 | by mbhunter |

I get several financial e-zines. Two that I look forward to and usually find to be well worth the time it takes to read them are Gary North’s Reality Check and Michael Masterson’s Early To Rise. Both are free!

Reality Check comes twice a week (maybe Mr. North is moving to once weekly but I’m not sure). He has very keen views on a variety of topics, including monetary policy, the economy, the media, business, personal finance, making a living, and marketing, to name a very few. Always very interesting to read and always filled with unique comments and criticism. The days that Mr. North does not publish, he passes along the Daily Reckoning — a view of the markets, the economy, and the world that you’ll either love or hate. I don’t love it all the time, but most of the time they’re right on the mark. The Daily Reckoning also has a variety of articles by experts in their respective fields.

Early To Rise has a fantastic mix of health, wealth, and wisdom, in addition to articles geared usually toward financial independence or personal performance. It is published six times a week. Mr. Masterson is also the author of an excellent financial book, Automatic Wealth. The name of the e-zine, though it obviously brings the old adage to mind, highlights one trait that he discovered is common to almost all successful people — they get up early! (This is an area I definitely need to work on — it’s 2 AM as I write this post!)

If you want views on the economy, business, and health that you won’t get on MSN.com, then please check out these e-zines!
