Right now my only subscription is to Contraryinvestor.com which features mostly general economic commentary. I enjoy doing my own thing. In the end, it is still you who have to follow through on the newsletter recommendations. I also subscribed to the Hulbert’s Financial Digest to get the real scoop on the best newsletters.

I hadn't heard of Hulbert's Financial Digest. Techie, the one stock in my portfolio that hasn't gone down is my mining company stock -- and it's up close to 100% from where I bought. So that has my attention. :) Good points Dave and Techie! I hadn’t heard of Hulbert’s Financial Digest.

I try to get a general feel of different markets/industries by glossing over different reports and newsletters. For example, many reports say that China is importing a lot of metals like copper due to its booming economy requiring a lot of construction. Copper companies have been doing very well over the past year. And I think their stocks still have a lot more upward momentum. (China needs to build a lot for those 2008 Games.) I use TDWaterhouse as my online broker. Once I'm logged in, I have access to more newsletters/reports than I have time to read. These are usually already quite sufficient. I'm sure most online brokers have these resources. I agree that it is impossible to follow every single stock recommendation/tip.

It's amazing how different the actual results are from the "selected" results the newsletters advertise. (Our local library subscribes to the digest so you should be able to find a local free copy.) Using the digest I found two newsletters with good track records that I decided to subscribe to. I've been happy with both.
