I used to work as a pivate client stockbroker dealing with a wide variety of people.
The firm had a client who lived overseas and dealt with us on a reasonably regular basis. He used to buy shares solely on the advice of The Economist.
Needless to say his investments were an absoulte disaster, he lost large amounts of dosh on a regular basis. If fact one guy in the office regularly sold whatever this particular client bought.
Moral of the story: The Economist is bad for your financial health!!!
