A couple of years ago I started an analysis of Barrons and stocks they write about -- usually negatively. I discovered that there is a "Barron's Approach" to investing. You read the magazine on the weekend, wait for a stock to dip on their slam, then buy the stock Tuesday when it is at its low. By the end of the week the stock is usually back up to its "before-article" price.

Lately they have had less impact on prices -- first of all because many people who are buying stocks directly are lay people who do not read Barrons, secondly because the information that is in Barrons weekly is available on the Web 7 days a week.

Just like Barrons writes about stocks as past their peak -- I venture to say that Barrons is past their peak. A dinosaur of a publication trying to make a last ditch scream as they get stuck in the mud of the Internet that is swirling around them.
