Tip-toe guide through the top share tipsters
Article Abstract:
A survey of journals giving share tips show Techinvest as the best performer for high-tech share tips. Techtest generally performed well, but technology stocks can be volatile, and it may be safer to follow advice from journals which pick few losers compared to winners, such as Analyst. The Penny Share Guide performed especially badly and many stocks were not of good quality, while losses were not always cut. Investors Chronicle performed well for tips on smaller firms' shares, while Chart Breakout was a strong performer for momentum stocks.
