I have to admit that I am most of the time impressed with Simon Grifin the technical analyst of Share Magazine. Most of the time he is spot on and gives really good tips. He is not always win, but no one can always win and it is fine. What important is that he wins more than he lose, and he always provide a stop loss, so for the long term he is on the winning side.
This is all good and he is the first that I read on the magazine but… he writes his articles on Monday. I get it to my mail box on Thursday. In this crazy market it is like life time. Like today he recommended to buy two shares and both of them were up by 50% since Monday!!! so it was a very good tip, but when I read it, it was too late and I missed the train.
Now Share magazine can claim rightly that they need to send the copy to print and then send it by post and this takes time. All of this is true but… hello this is 2009! have you heard about the Internet? where you can publish the magazine on the same day you write it? and if you don’t want to publish it online, just send the tips by email to subscriber, so the tips will be relevant (for good and bad)…
but all in all it is a good magazine!
and not even one word about my Dax put…
