This magazine is a fabulous little gem from the Wall Street Journal. It has sensible, useful articles that can be used in your everyday financial planning.
Good, timely stories. Interesting tips.
October 19,2010
I think my subscription has paid for itself from a few of the tips I got from reading Smart Money. Not only are there good tips on interesting stocks that I hadn't heard of before, but the cover story and others are usually pretty interesting as well. Good read for those who aren't super technical with finance, but interested in learning more.
Too rudminetary, only for the novice, nothing for the advanced investor
October 18,2010
This magazine is geared only to the most rudimentary of inverstors. It is filled with articles with advice such as the need to pay down credit card debt before any other (due to its relative high interest rate) and other similar advice. This is all fine and dandy for someone at the high school level but any investor over and above this would be insulted by the intelligence of the advice provided. Plus it wastes time on product reviews of such items such as automobiles, snow blowers, etc. (i.e., another waste of investors time).
Best finance magazine for the layman!

I have been a subscriber for quite a few years. Together with Kiplingers it gives the best advice and updates on useful topics for the typical investor who would rather be in complete control than hand over assets to a money manager. Much better than Money magazine!
Finding the good stuff
October 2,2010
My personal view is that SMART MONEY is largely cluttered with a lot of nonsensical stories which are of little or no interest to me personally. I do enjoy James Stewart's column and other writers from time to time although I've found it difficult get a fix on overall economic conditions from the magazine. Frankly I prefer KIPLINGER'S as a more useful magazine.
Great Deal on a Good Magazine
October 2,2010
2 years for the price of 1! That's a great deal, especially for this magazine. I like this magazine because it gives you well-rounded advice. Long term strategies, short term strategies, sector plays, cyclical plays. They give you a little bit of everything.
It's great for a small time, casual investor looking to supplement a retirement fund like me.

Smart Money not a good value
September 19,2010
I ordered the Smart Money magazine several months ago.....I have only received 2 issues since then and it is sporadic.....not sure when I will get another one. I did not realize that this is also an auto-renewal deal and wish to stop that. The magazine is not worth the effort of wondering when my next issue will come in the mail.
How do I stop the auto-renewal for next year?
