Better than the WSJ
Unlike the WSJ which panders to a broad readership, the FT caters to the most sophisticated swath of the business community, and this gives it free rein to analyze issues at an advanced level. In particular, the FT's coverage of macroeconomic issues, such as the US current account deficit and China's role in the world economy, is rich in technical detail.

Fortunately, this doesn't come at the expense of style: the writing is consistently lucid, enlivened by a dash of humor and the occasional rhetorical flourish.

The Comment section is the paper's crown jewel, with op-eds by politicians, economists, and other luminaries, as well as the FT's stable of columnists. Articles by Martin Wolf, the chief economics commentator, are alone worth the cost of subscription. On the downside, the recent departure of U.S. bureau chief Gerard Baker has left a noticeable void.

In a marked contrast to the philistinism of the WSJ, the FT takes arts and culture seriously. Indeed, the Weekend edition's Arts section is on a par with staid literary journals. The Travel section and the recently-introduced FT Magazine are also stellar.

If I had to choose between the FT and the WSJ, I'd take the FT any day; it is hands-down the best business newspaper in the world.

Best world coverage
This newspaper provides an outside-the-box (US) opinion, even though Britain's outlook is similarities to ours. I read the WSJ daily and the NYTimes when I can, but the WSJ is so conservative and the NYTimes is so liberal that this provides a source that is at least one level removed from the conservative/liberal bias in this country.

I own Futures For Small Speculators
This is a great companion book to the original. All of the information and core concepts mentioned in the first book are actually further detailed in this one.

I can't emphasize enough how useful the three trading tools "trading plan questionnaire, trade worksheet, and trading journal" hav revolutionized the way I trade.
