What is The Prudent Speculator?
The Prudent Speculator (TPS) is the #1 ranked investment newsletter for 10, 15, 20 and 25 years according to The Hulbert Financial Digest (as of 9/30/08). TPS is focused on value investing and created for the individual investor.. Al Frank founded TPS in March 1977. John Buckingham continues the excellence in investing as Editor and Chief Portfolio Manager.

Why is The Prudent Speculator such an asset?
We have developed proprietary models to filter data and perform research and analyses. As a subscriber, you'll get our stock selections first-hand - these are our top picks of what we believe to be undervalued stocks from among the more than 1,000 publicly-traded companies analyzed by our research staff. Additionally, The Prudent Speculator subscribers stay current in between monthly issues of TPS with 2 times weekly e-mail Hotlines. We start off our subscribers' week with Monday Morning Call which focus on market commentary. Then, every Wednesday evening (approximately 5:30 PM PST) John Buckingham writes his Hotline report in which he provides real-time, actionable advice based on the day's market and stock activities. We report stocks traded for our model portfolio, offer market commentary, indicate special-interest items, and provide hedging suggestions and goal price revisions. These e-mails are closed with The Hotline Special Stock in which John gives in-depth analysis to a selected stock currently on our recommended list. Hotlines reports are also written on days the NASDAQ and/or Dow move at least 5% and 3%, respectively. Hotlines are sent via email as well as accessed at Al Frank.com.

Are there any other long-term advantages to subscribing?
In addition to John Buckingham's personal expertise, TPS' content focuses on giving you important tools that allow you to construct your own portfolio. You'll gain access to our monthly buy list, as well as an invitation to view suggestions in our monthly Portfolio Builder section.
