Anyone know of a good finance mag?


Hey folks,

I was wondering - does anyone know of a good finance magazine?
I don't have a local English book shop near me, no Ottakars, no Barnes and Noble - no book shop in the English language whether it be an American or British shop.

So I was wondering - does anyone know of any good finance mags which I could subscribe to over the internet?

Thanks.

Do you, or does anyone else know of any other magazines?

Thanks.

Extra note, just found this one.

Any Finance magazines - more finance than business if possible - British or European, however American is also fine.
However it has to be in the English language.

Thanks.

Wall Street Journal's a biggie.
The BBC also covers the International markets

Financial Times is one of my favorite websites: http://news.ft.com/business

The banner on their home page isn't Konqueror friendly though; pegs my CPU out at 100% usage.

As a ( ...lawyer turned... ) financial consultant, let me say that I don't subscribe to any of these (I should just to find out what crap my clients are reading).

There are only a few things you have to know:

1) Modern Portfolio Theory
......a) Asset Allocation (Large Cap, Mid Cap, Small Cap, and the various Fixed market segments)
......b) Rebalancing the Allocation on a regular basis
......c) Dollar cost averaging

2) If you have a net worth of less than $2.5 Million (US) then you shouldn't be buying individual stocks in your portfolio, you should be in mutual funds or the equivalent sub-accounts within a variable insurance product (life insurance or annuities).

3) There is no better way to transfer wealth than life insurance (or translated,... Life insurance isn't just for protecting your mortgage)

4) Most people protect their house or car, but not their most valuable asset (their earning capacity) with insurance. People will do the opposite of what's good for them.

Save your money on financial publications unless you want business news (what companies are doing), then get an occasional (and I do mean occasional) issue of the Wall Street Journal.
