I read Barrons, followed it and lost a fortune on shorting dell-altho haven't closed my position. I haven't money to buy Barron's any more but they give me trial subscriptions all the time but not this week.

Hi jmac-- re Bearons. What I hate most about Bearons is the snide, insinuating, arrogant, better than thou attitude that emanates like an odor from every article. Reminds me of that Lily Tomlin telephone operator-- lip lifted sneer in every syllable. Wonder how much in opportunity costs they have cost their subscribers over the last five years? I'm surprised they can even give it away. regards

>>Well, I couldn't help myself. I took my kids to Story Time at Borders Book Store and I pulled Barrons to read while they learned French. I do believe that Barrons should rename itself Bearons. I don't believe there was a bullish article in that newspaper. In the entire paper, there had to be at least 5 articles on why the market is overvalued, overpriced, the fed will move, the put-call values say we should go down, and on and on it goes.<< Jmac, Don't underestimate Barrons. I like to use that paper for wrapping fish or standby when I run out of charmin toilet paper. Like most media sensationalism sells. Just think if we have a stock market which historically grows 11% compound over the next 20 years we may see the Dow at 80,000 or better by then. Is that not fantastic. I wonder how much Intel, Dell, Microsoft, Qualcom, Sun Microsystems and the list goes on will appreciate in spite of wall of worries and stories in the market place?? Have a good Holiday, Frank
