How do you subscribe?!

I can not find a link on this site anywhere!!!

Any help?

Strangly enough I have just been looking for that very same thing and could not find it so gave up!

Why subscribe for poor quality material ???

With regard to signing up to the magazine we are currently developing a new link which is why there is no link at the moment.

To subscribe at the moment you would need to contact Shares on 01444 475 661.

Does anyone else here have the same view as AJ on the quality of the magazine?

If it was good quality information they would not be writing articles i.e.
they would be cruising around the Med/Carribean as a result of the billions
of dollars they make from their dealings.This applies to ALL pundits.

Richard,

Well I use Shares as a starting point for learning about new companies, and if I find something of interest, I go on from there.

I'm find it an interesting light read, and Shares introduces companies in sectors you may not normally look at or have an interest in.

Shares introduced me to Cardpoint, at the then price of 48p last year!
The profit from that has more than repaid the subscription fee!

Certainly no article alone is a reason for investment, but is a useful starting point for further research, IMHO.

If you want access to the Trader's Room here, subscribing to Shares for 99 not only gives you 1 per copy off the shop cover price, but free access to the Trader's Room here as a bonus! (I subscribed for this reason.)

Hi Richard,

I agree i.e.it is a useful starting point and a useful starting point for
further research.However,I think one should always think :- If they are so
smart - why are they writing articles ?

Richard,
I agree with Andy. I only statded investing last year and have found Shares to be a very good tool in the kit. It is extremly cost efective at less than 2 a week .Plus you get access to money am. It writes in plain english and gives you a good base to start your reaserch. I would recommend it as I have found it useful. Graeme.

Why are they writing articles instead of cruising ?

Why are we posting instead of cruising??

Because we know how much we do not know ?

When cruising gets boring you go back to writing ...about things like shares.

ajren,

They are journalists that write about companies, they don't profess to be investment guru's!

All I look for is some knowledge of the company by the journalist concerned, and if I think there may be something of interest, I take it from there.

arjen because a person makes a lot of dosh ie buffett,gates,branson etc they dont rest on there laurels they want to make more dosh not go on cruises.as to the quailty of mag if you have any ideas that can improve write to editor who will listen if it is a good idea there is a chance your idea will appear.cant complain about price of mag or quailty.

I hate the thought of cruising. Sea sick, home sick, playing the stock market sick, stuck in one place for days/weeks, ugh!

However, though I subscribe to Shares (and have the benefit of moneyam, particularly the bulletin board)I think most of the magazine was a poor read, contained innacurate incomlete information. But then I'm not a beginner except with AIM. It is a pity that I hold this opinion of Shares and only glance through it as I could learn a lot about the new companies.

I can't trust it, probably shouldn't trust the bulletin boards either but they certainly give me food for thought.

Angi,

Exactly!

I trust neither, but both supply food for thought, IMHO!

ARJEN,
The reason someone like say James Quinn, is not as you say "CRUISING" is probably to do with the fact that he is only 26, bearing in mind he probably finished studying for his degree at about 22, that gives 4 years of employment, as they say it takes money to make money!!!!!! unless of course your born into a rich family and don't need to work in which case you would be "CRUISING"....
As for the rest of us we have to earn a living!!!!!
SINCERELY YOURS.............

just to add my 2 pennies worth how do you know they are not cruising as you put it as with a laptop and net connection articles can be written from anywhere in the world just as shares can be dealt from anywhere .After all how are these messages being posted . I find share magazine to be very useful and a great publication but it is up to the individual as to their opinion

Ajren

Have you opened up a lively subject for the weekend!!
Following the various postings I find that I am in support of the views of both camps.
I personnally have been hurt in the distant past by using the journalists 'hot tips' yet I still find great interest in reading their scribblings. I am sure that a lot of their work could be beneficial to investors as they very often have access to people in places that we don't. We then just have to continue our own further investigations into their new found 'goldmines' and if we are then convinced ''get the timing right''

Shares seems inconsistent. They will tip a share one week and do it down the next for no apparent reason. Are keen on highlighting their good tips but do not follow up with information on recommended buys which quickly plunge in price. Overall I have found the Weekend FT stars and dogs and weekend sharewatch most balanced, reliable and profitable. I still like Shares and buy it, but as am getting more experienced always do my own research. Gets boring hearing it but it is the key.
