I have found the stock market reports and the technical analysis to be outstanding when compared to other financial commentaries. BARRONS WEEKLY financial editor steven sears has consistently shown an unbiased opinion on current financial trends and political commentary on events impacting financial markets.
FORTUNE MAGAZINE has cut back on its publication frequency and will not include a front cover profile of new worthy individuals. Instead they will rely on graphics and artistic depictions. BARRONS WEEKLY has always been an outstanding publication and will be in existance for another 100 years to come.
There largest competitor is the WALL STREET JOURNAL but the format is different as it is a daily paper and includes a variety of information in addition to financial commentary. Any published commentary would have to comply with regulations of the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION on trading on insider information.
Look out for mergers in the media with consolidations likely. All the publications are generally down in readership by 10-15% if you exclude on-line subscriptions. Some of the less powerful media like BUSINESS WEEK may not survive a merger and will be swallowed up by other publications.
Steven Sears may see himself working exclusively on-line in a salon.com format or working for a Dow-Jones company - or be out of work entirely.
