Trade journals worth subscribing to?

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.

 

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Institutional Investor

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.
