 Worth reading, but be cautious about any investment advice July 22, 2010
Jhs (USA)
In the stock market there is "smart money" and "other" money. If you are thinking about getting investment advice from a monthly magazine, or any source that is printed (which takes time), then you are much better off if you realize you are not "smart money." You may beat the market on some decisions, but that will happen sometimes due to shear luck. After all, some people win at a casino.
If you have a day job, put your time and energy there, which will bring more financial reward than trying to beat the experts. If you really are the smartest person on the planet, then go ahead and beat the market. The other 300 million people in the US should focus on asset allocation and keeping expenses low.
Money Magazine does tout stocks and mutual funds, but you are better off reading those articles for the entertainment value. Occasionally they do have an article about the advantages of index funds with a low expense ratio or low expense ratio ETF. With a million dollars in the market, a 1-point change in the expense ratio amounts to $10,000. Every year. It is worth thinking about.
Money Magazine is entertaining to read and occasionally has an interesting tip, such as putting extra money into a 401(k) this year so it can be converted to a Roth IRA this year when the income limit on conversions is lifted. Just don't expect the touted stocks to consistently beat the market. Anyone who has that kind of ability won't be writing articles for monthly magazines.
Money Magazine July 9, 2010

I cannot review this item as I have not received a copy of the magazine yet.
 Not worth the money or time waiting. June 30, 2010
Joe
I ordered this with the purpose of educating my wife and self with financial information with the hopes of graduating to more advanced investing magazines. Am very disappointed.
The first issue took at least the 6-10 weeks mentioned, and had roughly 6 pages of interesting/useful information. in the mean time we started going to [...]
and taking their online courses (which are free and give you 60 free days of premium membership upon completion) and learned 25x more than we EVER would have using money magazine.
Would consider myself to be a conservative individual, and this is WAY too far to the left in terms of ideology and editorial content. There is just as much information about corporate execs that now run flower shops (something they come THIS CLOSE to endorsing) as there is meat and potato investing information. Having not read smart money's print edition, or done more than flip through a kiplingers, i can't say that those are better, but if you are looking at this to get started, go somewhere like [...] for their online courses or even MSN money (online) to educate yourself.
p.s. Morningstar is cited as the source for 95% of the information they present in Money anyway, might as well go to the source and skip the biases.
p.p.s. the current cover issue (July '10) some of the best ideas are things like putting yourself 200% into stocks (thats right, to take out a loan) the VERY next page says that most people probably take too many risks in stocks and dont understand how much money they can lose.
Best for Beginners June 20, 2010
P. Metzger (Illinois)
This is way too simplistic for anyone with any real finance/investing experience. If you have more than a few years of investing experience, you should probably look elsewhere, as there is likely little here that you do are not already aware of. For someone with little financial experience, this is a good way for you, as a casual investor, to understand the most basic mechanisms of investing and finance. The personal finance articles are hardly groundbreaking, but do give sound advice, whereas the investing ideas may give the casual investor just enough information to be detrimental to his/her portfolio.

Was pleased that my magazine renewal went through so quickly. Money magazine has good general money management information.
