Summary: Barron's Offers Timely Financial Updates and Great Writing
Comment: Barron's is a popular magazine/newspaper that helps investors keep abreast of financial markets, industry news, economic trends, profit forecasts, and other related topics. This publication bills itself as the magazine of the Dow Jones, and it offers investors and other financial gurus some solid and timely financial reading.
Many people who read Barron's head directly to the Market Week section in order to catch up on the latest investment prices. Each weekly issue of Barron's offers plenty of stock tables, Commodities Pricing, Options market pricing, etc., so it makes sense that a concerned investor would turn to this section first, in order to check investment prices. But Barron's is much more than a collection of statistical tables. Each issue contains a large number of featured articles and regular columns and there are very few departments. The bulk of each issue is dedicated to short articles about specific companies, economic concerns, innovative technology, Wall Street trends, and other noteworthy topics.
Barron's is a very expensive publication, but among its many good points is the fact that it is published weekly and therefore is very up to date and timely. If you're an investor, you are fully aware of the importance of timely information and Barron's provides exactly that. Whether the subject is the high price of oil, corporate takeovers, or volatile interest rates, Barron's is right there, offering a timely article about the important issues of the day.
One other noticeable fact about Barron's is that devotes only a minimal amount of space to advertisements. There are some ads, and they are usually clustered in the first part of each issue. Most all of the ads are relevant to the subject matter of the magazine, and it is common to see ads for insurance companies, mutual funds, brokerage services, and the like. Because the ads are almost all about finance, they tend to blend into the articles and you do not notice them like you notice the ads in other magazines.
Investors, financial professionals, and concerned citizens like to keep up to date on financial and economic affairs and for these individuals, Barron's ranks as one of the best financial publications available today. The articles are quite thorough for such a short magazine and while some articles can get a little too advanced for the novice investor, there is still much to be learned in every issue of Barron's. Timely financial data, great writing, and relevant articles make Barron's a magazine worth reading for those with an interest in the subject of finance and investments.

Summary: great magazine
Comment: Barron's is the best bang-for-the-buck investment and personal finance magazine/newspaper/newsletter. They come out with thoughtful and timely articles every week. However, the price here is very expensive. You can get it for less than half the price by going directly to the magazine web site.

Summary: Don't order. You'll never get it.
Comment: Never received the magazine and had a lot of trouble getting a refund-which I am now promised but will believe it when I see it.

Summary: Read what the rich read
Comment: I understand that the average net worth of a Barron's subscriber is just under three million dollars. I read Barron's for the same reason I read CIO magazine. I want to know what the leaders are reading. I do use the articles in Barron's as investment leads. I recently read about the good prospects of a company and took a small position in it and have been rewarded by a 19% gain in under three months. This is the third time in a year I have had such results with a Barron's pick. I suggest you give it a try by reading a issue on the Sunday it is available and watch any company's stock that they praise for a week and see how you would have done.
Also it is just excellent quality writing and entertaining.

Summary: Never received subscription
Comment: I wish I had something good to say but I ordered this Barron's subscription back in August 06. I've had this newspaper before and do enjoy it. It is now November and I'm still waiting. I called customer service and Amazon promised to resolve but that was several weeks ago. My next call will be to ask for my money back. Hopefully this isn't happening to other Subscribers. I've ordered several other magazines from Amazon and always received them on a timely basis.
