Barron's. Great source for ideas. I'm a subscriber, and I read it faithfully every Saturday. Buffett reads it. You can't call yourself a pro and not be a reader. I've found I do way better if I ignore the negativity though, especially from A. Ableson and his column Up and Down Wall Street. You start reading him, you'll never want to invest. Note current positive article there on ConAgra being discussed now a few posts down on this thread. "Why ConAgra Looks Appetizing:Though quarterly earnings fell short of estimates, the food company should rebound as pricing power returns." WSJ, I subscribe (as part of the Barron's' on-line subscription); rarely read it though . Forbes? You're a value investor - read it at the library. Welcome to the thread. What value stocks are you liking these days?

Take a glance at IBD also.

I only subscribe to rags for worthless miles that are on the edge of expiration... :) Never read Barron's (so I guess I'm not a pro in Paul Senior's mind ;)). Read WSJ years ago, was boring, no opinion right now (but when I get to choose free newspaper on a plane, I pick International Herald Tribune over WSJ ;)). Had Forbes subscription for a year, their political rants drove me nuts. Some company ideas for investing, but nothing much or worthwhile. Have Economist subscription now. Would renew it for money (!!!!!) if I had time to read it. Really good articles. Not much use for investing though. It's much more "what's happening around the globe" publication. They don't spend much space on company specific articles, so very few company ideas for investing. (I think Buffett - or Munger? - reads it, haha ;)). It really depends on your style though. My way of finding companies to invest into would drive other people nuts. But it works for me. You should try getting ideas from these papers and see if it works for you. :)
