All, an interesting story about financial newsletters from the SF Examiner is at ... examiner.com I am disappointed the Value Line Investment Survey didn't do better. Excerpt For comparative purposes, the risk-adjusted return of the Wilshire 5000 index is set at 100. The best newsletter, Systems & Forecast, has a rating of 108.4 and has produced an 8.4 percent higher return than expected given the level of risk it takes. Here are the rest of the "top five" newsletters and their ratings: The Chartist, 89.1; No-Load Fund X, 86.7; Investor's World, 82.2; Value Line Investment Survey 80.2. As I said, these other four newsletters that round out the five "best" have a rating less than 100, which implies that their recommendations, given the risk entailed, performed worse than the Wilshire 5000 index.
