What are the Finance and investment columns you like and regularly follow?

Can you provide links to most popular personal finance and investment columnists ? Are all the articles which appear in newspapers like NY Times etc accessible through paid membership - are there any which are free on the net

What are the Finance and investment columns you like and regularly follow?
I read a lot of stuff on Yahoo Finance - they have some good articles and a bunch of %26quot;celebrity%26quot; writers like Suze Orman and David Bach. I also read M S N Money articles - same sort of thing - some articles good, some bad. I really like the website smartmoney.com - they have some good stuff, too.

Best free sources I utilize are Madmoney and Fastmoney on CNBC, and Kudlow %26amp; Co. if you have another hour. You can subscribe to CNBC Plus ($10/month) and watch them live on the net or in taped segments afterward. Those 2 hours during weekdays (unless you can dvr and skip commercials) should be all that you need, combined with Yahoo Finance (ie most active price/vol); and stock and fund screeners provided by Morningstar.com, and chart analysis on stockcharts.com. Obviously don%26#039;t react to all picks/recommendations, but when it%26#039;s compelling, and if you watch consistently you%26#039;ll know, then act, they are not always right, but they%26#039;re more right then wrong on the standouts.





Since I%26#039;m overseeing 7 figures I%26#039;m looking for more confirms so I also subscribe to:


Investors Business Daily (good independent view of markets/stocks); John Murphy%26#039;s interpretation of markets/sectors/stocks on stockcharts.com(mostly during turbulent times or significant changes in direction provides good perspective); and Dorseywright.com(great technical views/sector rotation/rating%26amp;ranking/queries...)

Suzeorman.com is best I%26#039;ve seen and follow, don%26#039;t really need to go beyond her. If you can%26#039;t get to what you need from her website, search on topic with her name on yahoo ie Roth IRA Suze Orman; or search in yahoo answers, this is all free......





Once again, 7 figures causing me to look for additional confirmation, Jonathan Pond (usually via public television) for a fee will send you a questionaire of your total financial life and then will create a profile for you--called Smart Planner.
