The Wall Street Journal is as good as it gets for individual investors who are interested in finance. No, I don't have any money tied up in the stock market, and I don't read it to simply impress my boss at work. It's really a great newspaper that also discusses non-business topics of interest as well. Anyone who reads this paper and pays attention to the Bond Market knows that we're looking at a likely recession coming soon as the dreaded Inverted Yield Curve came back not too long ago. Don't waste your time and money on an MBA. You can hold your own and discuss finance issues with the best of them by simply reading this paper for a while.
