Fading Barrons - I don't think thats what they had in mind when when they were marketing that line "How Money Becomes Wealth"
I'm talking about the feature articles they do on selected stocks. I haven't done a statistical analysis, but back when I did read it, they seemed to roll over pretty quickly after the Monday bounce. Big money needs help getting out sometimes. If you know who "Anthony from Brooklyn" is, you know he claims a couple of their columnists are even better fades than Cramer. I don't remember the names though.
Don't know about you guys, but I'm an information junkie. I like to know why things are doing what they're doing. For instance, if Barron's comes out with a major article on WMT (they did in the last year), I think that's an important piece of information. Certainly WMT is in the Dow, has an influence in the SPX, and therefore may have somewhat of an impact on the corresponding futures contracts. There's a difference between seeing that the futures are up for example, and knowing they're up because of a WMT recommendation, and what specifically was said. You also get Online Barrons during the week, and the Online WSJ included in the same price. I've been reading Barron's now for over 30 years. I used to have to go to the newstand on the weekend to get it. Now having the advantage of getting it online for a lower price is hard to beat. An occasional good idea is all it takes to more than pay for the cost of it. OldTrader
Here is an example of writing from Baron's that can clear the mind and give insight where there may have been none: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1113106#post1113106 nitro
