Default Re: WSJ.com/Barron\'s worth $99/year?

I read WSJ, IBD, Barron's, Fortune, Bus. Week, Forbes, and OID. I rank them thusly on a 1-10 scale (10 being indispensable, 1 being waste of time):
OID - 10
WSJ, Fortune - 8
Barron's - 6
Bus Wk, Forbes - 4
IBD - 2
IBD is for day traders, chartists, and the like--not long-term investors. As a long-term Graham-and-Doddsville investor, the -only- parts of IBD I read are the famous quotes & biographies (page 3 usually) and the mutual fund manager bios (page 6 or 7 or so).
