Today, there are more investment newsletters than ever before. It is difficult for the average investor to know exactly which one's to choose. I think the best approach for an investor is to educate ones self with multiple sources of information. Eventually, you will have to determine what type of investor you are (conservative, moderate or aggressive), but here are some books and newsletters that I think you will find very valuable.
BOOKS:
Wall Street Journal: "Guide to Understanding Personal Finance" by Kenneth M. Morris & Alan M. Siegal
"Wall Street Meat": by Andy Kessler
"The Book of Investing Wisdom": by Peter Krass
