Fortune Magazine

Pros: Lively compelling editorials about powerful CEOs, provocative viewpoints, business strategies/ideas, bi-weekly, good Website
Cons: Subjective, sometimes omits important facts, over-emphasis on CEOs, less timely than newspaper news, expensive

With the nation reeling from the wave of corporate fraud and unscrupulous auditors and analysts, investors have become angry, distrustful and cynical. Casual readers are turning away from newsstand copies of business magazine. Although a good scandal...

Pros: Sometimes you get to read a nice feature...
Cons: ...but most of the magazine is dated, stale or trite.

Poor Fortune. Other magazines (Business Week and The Economist) provide better analysis. Still others (Red Herring and Fast Company) do a better job on new economy issues. Even coverage for the glib investor is...

Pros: Fortune 500 issue; Some good success stories
Cons: No real identity; Too many stories about rich businessmen

Financial magazines are among my favorite types of periodicals. Given free and open choice among many types of magazines, the financial publications are the ones I reach for more than any other, a consequence of my field of expertise. There are many ...

Pros: Some interesting articles
Cons: Way too many ads and some very suspect math

I am not a business man, nor do I play one on TV. How I came to get Fortune magazine is a bit of a twisted path leading through two other magazines which have since passed on. The first was PC Computing, which was a fine though not stellar competitor...

Pros: People with Fortunes read this magazine... should you? Rhetorical!
Cons: let's see.. what are YOU reading???

There was an Old saying, that I didn't hear till I was about 21.... It goes.. "Keep doing what you've always done, and you'll keep getting what you always Get" .... pretty simple and yet, oh, so profound. Here's another one ... "Insanity is doing the...

Pros: Interesting articles and some good information.
Cons: Described in review.

I have purchased Fortune on and off over the last few years. It does have some useful information but largely most of what I see in it highlights those who have already made their fortune. It really doesn't say enough about how they got there....

Pros: Magazine that can help increase your knowledge base of various industries; Lots of important business tips; Invaluable reviews of successful companies to work for; StreetLife and ValleyTalk are the best around
Cons: No complaints so far

Fortune is one of the major business magazines I have been reading since my college days. I have read it for many reasons besides those attached to my field of study and business. It brings you the information you need to make up your mind on...

Pros: Less ads as compared to "Entrepreneur" magazine.
Cons: None

Fortune magazine contains a lot of reading material, especially considering the cost. For this fact alone I consider Fortune to be an excellent bargain.


I am not an all-powerful CEO or even a college business major. I do however usually...

Pros: The best business magazine website, StreetLife and Valley Talk are my favorite business updates and recaps, helped to increase our portfolio
Cons: none

On September 8, 1999, I was reading my semi-weekly e-mail issue of Valley Talk from Fortune Magazine’s web site (Fortune.com) the column was called The Power of You by Jodi Mardesich.
Its mention of Epinions.com intrigued me enough to click over...

Pros: great articles, tough accurate journalism, never bias
Cons: sometime too many "special advertising sections" making the magazine too bulky

Fortune is unafraid to say anything. It even dares to mess with millionaire Donald Trump in an article where Trump as typical of him sent a letter to Fortune declaring he would sue them if they misrepresented his company in this article. Fortune simply...

Pros: Always on top of the business climate
Cons: Each issue is larger than the previous and you have to devote more time

Although I still consider Forbes Magazine to be my favorite business periodical, Fortune Magazine is consistently a close second. I feel compelled to epinionate (is that a word?) on Fortune because I am a regular subscriber. I take turns subscribing to...

Pros: Great lists of top businesses, stocks, wealthy people, great stock and option information
Cons: None

Fortune is another of those required reading magazines for anyone who wants more knowledge in their workplace for themselves or about their competitors or the industry, for stock market or mutual fund or options tips and just overall knowledge...

Pros: good facts
Cons: not very insightful articles, bland

Fortune is a bland but fairly informative magazine. Fortune's articles are usually written with input from three to four reporters. This means the articles are loaded with facts and figures, but the sheer weight of information turns the articles into...

Pros: Informative and interesting
Cons: Lots of hype

Fortune provides lots of very interesting information about the business scene (mostly the American market). The articles are informative and cover many diverse subjects relating to the business world. For a good understanding of the American business...

Pros: Broad perspective. Excellent investing articles.
Cons: Being rich makes you a genius attitude.

This magazine has a lot of style. It's probably
one the slickest, glossiest magazines you can
buy. Its photos of business people look
like they're glamour spreads done by some
fashion photographer. It's got Stanley Bing-
a kind...
