Thanks for everyone's feedback. I have even more followup questions:

have to be

Agreed, but my point is that Internet and CNBC now gives me _tons_ of
other sources. Granted I am "plugged in" 12 hours/day now - people
who aren't that "lucky" may benefit from the time the news summaries
save them.
I have found most of the charts and the data for them is available on
the net or via my data provider.
BIG QUESTION: Even though I have it delivered by courier, I don't
recieve my IBD until 9:30 AM Pacific time - too late to act on any New
America stories or strong RS changes that day. Is the same true for
you in Hawaii? If it was, would it change the benefit you get from
the paper?
Also, all of the articles - with the exception of the New America
stuff - is posted on their website the night before. Unfortunately, I
don't find those articles too useful - ex. the endless series on the
state of American education.
I agree that the New America articles are interesting, but I'm not
sure they justify my subscription (especially since I get them late).
Any comments? Again, I _do_ appreciate all of the opinions I'm
getting. Didn't someone say there was not enough postings recently! ;-)
