I've subscribed to the Wall St Journal for around 35 years straight. Just got a renewal notice for 2 years at $426. Seems outrageous given the info now available on the web for free. I never liked their editorial stuff anyway which is too severely slanted to the right. They don't even seem to try to balance it out. Their investment advice is sort of nonexistent. Jonathan Clements left just recently. The Saturday edition seems to be full of discussions of $40/bottle wine and other high priced stuff. Not my philosophy which is more LBYM. My Economist subscription covers the international stuff better and has more thoughtful economic focus. Seems all the WSJ can do is talk about M&A deals and the Ahead-of-the-tape column is a joke. Am I missing something here?

So what sources of financial info do others use? On the web I like Bogleheads, our ER forum, NY Times, Morningstar. Any other suggestions? It will be a relief not to have to plow through 2 papers every day. Nice to vent about this !!!
