Wall Street Journal

[Longhornd00d]

Anyone on here read the WSJ regularly?

I'm thinking about paying for a subscription. They have it listed as $140 annually for both the online and printed journal, which I don't think is that bad of a deal.

EDIT:
And what other sites/publications do you visit/read for your news?

It's a good publication. I read it when I can.

 

[Silver2003Cobra]

having read the WSJ a few times, it's a damn good publication, alot better than most news papers...

 

[wundrbird]

My local paper and:

National Review Online (and a bi-weekly print subscription to National Review)
Conservative News, Issues, Political Cartoons, Blogs, Talk Radio, Commentary from Townhall Conservatives
The American Spectator (and a print subscription to American Spectator)

But I'm not biased in any way whatsoever.

Yes, WSJ is excellent.

Thats me. Even though I get a subscription I don't get a lot of time to read it thru like I want to. Very good info and well produced.

If you want a career in the financial industry I highly reccomend reading it everyday. I have been now for the last 5 years... its deffinately good to keep up with the latest news.

Thanks for all the replies, guys!

I currently read The Economist and was looking into the WSJ after my economics professor mentioned it. WSJ's website also says that you can "save" 80% off of the original cost if you pay for a subscription right now.

I read The Economist and The Wall Street Journal five days a week. As long as you've got a level head and can sort through some of the one-sided frame of mind articles in each, you're good to go. They're both great, but I like The Economist more.

no you haven't.

I actually don't care for the economist.

I read both the WSJ and the FT daily.

I prefer the WSJ, but the FT has important articles as well.

I read it every day. Have for a couple of years.

It has a very conservative slant, so be ready to 'think' about some of what they say. That being said, it seems to be more honest than a NY Times or Washington Post which are highly liberal.

I also read Business Week and Forbes. BW is more Liberal and reading Forbes' editorials are really informative. When both cover the same topic you get a wider view of the issue/item.

I only get the local paper on Sundays for the coupons and comics ;-)

WSJ and Investor's Business Daily.

WJS is one of the best publications out there. What suprises many people, is that it's content is not soley all about business, but also reports on national and world events.

Do you live near a college?

I go by the library at Loyola/Marymount every morning and pick up a free New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and London Times. They have them there for the students. But as we all know college students don't read, unless it can be downloaded to their I-phone.

And yes, WSJ is a good source of world and financial information with surprisingly little bias.

I might have to check that out. I never thought about going to the library to see if they have any copies available to students. Thanks! :thumbsup:

And I LOVE reading -- books, news articles, etc. I can never get enough information. :read:
