The Intrepid Investor of Florida is asking you to pay for their junk mail! Here is a warning and complain about " The Intrepid Investor " " Your Source for Investment Discoveries". I get this free in the mail for some reason, but they ask you $80.00 and year subscription. This is not an independent, for fee Stock picking / investment newsletter, but paid advertising for buying a stock.

And usually penny or board stocks. In the back of the newsletter/ad it says in very small writing If you want a good if not great source of investment newsletters, see the "Hulbert Financial Digest" some libraries carry it. It is the consumer watch dog of the investment newsletter industry and has listings of returns/ risk for each newsletter in January and July issues. And don't pay for junk mail. Craig in CA
