1) Re: Canico. Well I thought I could escape around $12 (It was there long enough); but alas I didn't. My plan was to unload a bit, wait for a downturn, and pick it up for another ride up. Oh well - will see what the show has instore..
2) Re: Valueline. Funny - I received a mailing from them recently to subscribe. I haven't heard anyone speak of that publication, yet I have heard at various times, goods things about it.
3) Speaking of Newsletters - not that I would ask you to devulge the names of the ones you subscribe to - (<g> nudge nudge, wink wink, saynomore..) - I wanted to know if you have subscribed to the Mark Hulbert Financial Digest [HFD] Newsletter?
To All "First and foremost, The Hulbert Financial Digest is not an investment adviser. It's a completely independent, impartial and authoritative rating service that arms you with the facts about stock and mutual fund investment letter performance.
Nobody cares more about your wealth and the future it promises than you do. That's why you might subscribe to a stock or mutual fund advisory newsletter.
Mark Hulbert started his newsletter to help you choose yours. Based on proven performance, not unproven claims.
In 1979, Mark attended an investment seminar and heard dozens of newsletter editors promise to double, triple or quadruple investors' money each year - with complete safety. Out of curiosity - and disbelief - Mark Hulbert followed many of the advisers' recommended portfolios on paper and found their claims to be wildly exaggerated. The same gurus who promised to perform miracles were actually being beaten by the market averages.
From the eye-opening experience, The Hulbert Financial Digest was born."
The Consumer Reports of Investment Newsletters I suppose. Back in the mid-90s, I had subscribed to the Investors Digest. It was $70CDN for a year thanks to a TD intro promotion, and I know Mark Hulbert had rated it quite high (though today their newsletter is not mentioned on HFD). Nothing wrong with the newsletter - but even then I was more into speculation than investment. If my portfolio today was 4X larger, perhaps 1/4 would be in "investments" such as those from that newsletter.
Even though the HFD is only $60US, hard to say the value seeing as not "all" newsletters are listed.
