Warren Buffett is known to read trade journals on banks, insurance companies, oil companies, and commodities. Besides the fact that he is old-school, I have came to realization that it could be a fantastically efficient way to accumulate knowledge that can later be applied to investing. Google, newsites, blogs, and sell-side research may have their merits, you say; but after some time you just realize that 95% of the stuff you find is untimely garbage. The opportunity cost of information overload and searching make such endeavors quite unpalatable if one's sole purpose is to obtain quality information.
Hence, practitioners - what are some of the trade/industry journals that you find particularly insightful and are not exorbitantly expensive? Will edit into a list.

Tell me all the paid subscription financial newsletter/news (Originally Posted: 02/07/2010)
Hello,
Any help would be appreciated.
I know of the WSJ/FT....but how about other not so well known ones?
Thanks, Scoobie
Gartman Letter Grant's Interest Rate Observer Venture Source etc...
Thank you drexelalum11 ,
Anymore would be appreciated from anyone.
Thanks
I'm also looking for consumer oriented ones.
thanks
What do you mean, consumer oriented? Retail investors? The Street, etc...
Yes something like The Street.
paid subscriptions if you are a trader: Stiffel Nicholas.
Stiffel is just ER, there's no real reason to pay for access to their research over any other.
The Gartman Letter for short-term trading, The Gloom Boom and Doom Report for long-term investing and analysis.
As far as the news, I would consider a subscription to the Economist to be essential.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Institutional Investor
I really like The Gartman Letter. Grant's Interest Rate Observer is also outstanding.
Another you probably won't hear about is Dow Theory Letters written by Richard Russell. He's a quick old guy who can really follow the market.
Barron's is a good subscription as well. Economist is a must, keeps you well-informed on the world.
Trade Journals (Originally Posted: 06/22/2014)
Hi forum,
I was wondering how do you find your trade journals. It is not the most convenient thing to seek out journals through google. If someone could provide a link to a comprehensive list of trade publications that would be great. For example I am looking for Telecom, more specifically fixed wireless. This is all in the context of investing.
Thanks a lot.
oh well...either I am asking a weird question or it is just no one is reading trade journals here
What are trade journals?
http://www.iijournals.com/
they're super expensive
I also read the Financial Analysts' Journal (http://www.cfapubs.org/loi/faj), put out by CFA Institute. some articles are locked but after a certain time period they become free, plus if you do some sleuthing you may be able to find free copies of current articles elsewhere.
Thanks for the reply. Appreciate the time you took sir.
The link you provided is about investment industry, I was looking for other industries (i.e. automaker, M2M, shale, etc) for the purpose of learning more about those industries to invest in them.
if you're a student, your library should have them. if not, I just googled trade journals quickly and tons of results turned up, try that.
Magazines. (Originally Posted: 08/13/2011)
Other than the obvious Economist and Bloomberg Markets, what do you guys read on a weekly / monthly basis?
Besides the Economist, I usually read The New Yorker and on occasion Wired.
GQ
Fortune - great read.
I prefer Barely Legal and Over 40. Provides me with the entire spectrum.
Love GQ. Any Finance ones?
Foreign Affairs and National Review. GQ is solid also. Business week is good.
Bankers do you read magazines? (Originally Posted: 04/06/2007)
Hi,
Do you read magazines such as:
the banker credit trader
?
Maxim Playboy FHM Trader Monthly
You don't need to look at sexy magazines. Bankers can already get some with their status.
jag shemash...sexy time is niiiice...you no like?
