The Hulbert Guide to Financial Newsletters
The Hulbert Guide to Financial Newsletters describes and analyzes more than 120 top-performing newsletters. Using clearly defined rating criteria like clarity and degree of risk, a wealth of statistical data is presented in tables and graphs in this book. Newsletters are ranked on the basis of their total returns and risk-adjusted performances and on their ability to time switches into and out of the stock, bond, and gold markets. This useful work is highly recommended for libraries serving investors.
- The useful introduction discusses the wide range of options when seeking investment advice. It describes the pros and cons of newspapers, television, and the financial press; personal or business acquaintances; stockbrokers; and investment newsletters.
- Each newsletter analysis includes a graph showing its portfolios' performances compared with the market as a whole.
- Accompanying tables also show the newsletters' performance over various periods of time, including quintile rank among all newsletters tracked for that period.
- Appendixes provide tables that rank newsletters on the basis of their total returns and risk-adjusted performances over different periods of time.
- Separate tables rank mutual fund newsletters.
