• Access to new issues of Sound Mind Investing 10-14 days before mailed copies arrive. E-mail alerts are sent when each new issue is available online.

• Sound Mind Investing's 401K Fund Tracker, which sorts the mutual fund choices available through subscribers' specific company plans and provides a monthly report detailing any recommended changes.

• Archive of three years of past issues and content.

• Monthly update of their Fund Performance Rankings (available quarterly in the print newsletter).

• Access to all web-exclusive articles and updates

The Sound Mind Investing Handbook is a step-by-step guide that offers a sequential presentation of investing, with Sound Mind Investing's biblical approach woven into each chapter. It is an introduction to the Sound Mind Investing framework and philosophy, and functions as a useful reference guide for readers that receive the monthly newsletter.

There are quite a variety of investment newsletter services available to investors today, which achieve a decent track record. In reality, however, many newsletters have not translated well for most investors that subscribe to them. The reason? Money management. Without the proper position sizing using the right money management tool, you are only dealing with half the formula for success.

Let's face it: if there was one consistently successful investment newsletter, then the word would spread rapidly, and that one investment newsletter would have more customers than the population of China. The reality is that there has never been such a success. Why? Because in the final analysis, 8 out of 10 investors fail due to one simple reason: position sizing.

The majority of investors who subscribe to investment newsletters think that the process is as simple as "Just give me your recommendations and let me become as successful as you are". Unfortunately, as money managers know, entry points account for very little in the overall success of a portfolio. Find out why!
