One of the newbie posters who presented his portfolio, has also PM'd me with a question about what to read...noting that TRFM suggests a business magazine (Forbes, Fortune) and a tech-industry journal...and points out that his time is confined...job, family, life.
There's probably no one answer, and perhaps this is fair grounds for yet another survey. (Publishers would love to look good on this one!)
My personal reading that relates to my investing interests have shifted rather significantly ove the past few years. I rarely pick up WSJ or IBD anymore, but if I did, IBD would get more attention. I've never been much of a fan of Fortune and prefer Forbes, probably because of it's quarterly supplement, ASAP, which I find just fascinating.
But even there, I'm reading it less.
What I'm reading more of are RedHerring, UpSide, and Technology Review, published by MIT, and LightReading, for it's exclusive focus on fiber, a digest of which is on-line.
For daily reading, USA Today, LATimes, San Jose Mercury News, and at random, one other big city paper...these a holdover habit from my J-School days that I can't seem to break. I've been without a tv for six months...ever since the move to SC, and seem not to miss it.
After all this, many, many times I feel myself under informed. I do a poor job of keeping up with "business" news...mergers, earnings reports, lawsuits, partnerings...still lots I don't know.
