Default Re: Ranking the tipsters

[ QUOTE ]
Let me relate what the worlds greatest investor (Warren Buffett) does.

Just because Buffett does well, doesn't mean that his way is the only way to make $$$.

That said, it is generally a bad idea to blindly follow a Tip... why?

1. You don't know the reasons why you are getting the tip.
2. Even if the tip is a good one, you won't know when the tipster changes their opinion.

Finally, there is a whole industry around providing investable information to the public, in the form of newsletters, etc. Hulbert, is a rating service for these financial newsletters.
