About market advisory letters

according to the Trader Wizard....

Despite their outlandish claims, it is a fact over 80% of all market advisory letters fail to beat the major market indexes over the long term. Unfortunately, the public often mistakes the entertainment value of this literature for helpful investment advice. I'll leave it for you to decide but in my opinion the most widely read market letters are full of the worst possible investment advice anyone could get. If a market letter service goes to hundreds of thousands of people, its comments will at best be general and useful primarily as background. If it's directed to a small segment of investors, on the other hand, it's probably too expensive and too limited for your needs.
