I would too if I'D just bought MARKETWATCH.
OR:
The Wall Street Journal Online is signing up thousands of new subscribers, up 5.2 percent for the quarter, to a total of 731,000.
But some readers say they're just switching from buying the more expensive print editions of the Journal and Barron's to the lower-priced online versions.
One market watcher said, "Instead of paying about $356 a year for the print version of the Journal and Barron's, I'm gettng it online for $84 a year." So much for THAT brilliant idea.
