Writing for MarketWatch.com, Mark Hulbert highilights "10 investment newsletters to read besides Buffett’s," including the Investor Advisory Service.
As Hulbert writes, "Of the 200 investment letters whose performance is monitored by the Hulbert Financial Digest, no fewer than 10 have outperformed Buffett over the past 15 years — since the top of the Internet bubble, in other words. In addition, each of those 10 can boast of something else besides superior performance: They are published at least monthly, if not more frequently. None of them makes you wait a whole year, as Buffett does, to get updated insights."
Featured at #6 on the list is our Investor Advisory Service newsletter with a 15-year annualized return of 11.2% through 2014, compared to 9.4% for Berkshire Hathaway’s BRK.B.
Hulbert concludes that "Note the significant overlaps that exist between the 10 letters’ stock-picking approaches and Buffett’s. In addition, like Buffett, almost all of them have constructed their model portfolios to be fully invested at all times. In other words, even in highlighting the 10 newsletters with superior 15-year records to Buffett’s, we need to honor and recognize the superiority of his investment approach. It’s just that you don’t need to look only to Buffett for ways to put that approach into practice."
