Before this year, I started my mornings with a mish-mash of newspapers, newsletters, and magazines... First thing, I'd bounce through the usual suspects, like the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg.com. Then I'd read newsletters like the Gartman Letter from Dennis Gartman. These three sources are excellent... and worth the time it takes to go through them. But no matter the source, it always takes a while to shuffle through it all to get to what's useful. As I've written before in DailyWealth, my No. 1 Secret to Wealthy Living isn't about having expensive cars, houses, or flat-screen TVs. It's about having the time to spend doing the things I love doing. I don't have time to waste on what's useless to me. I'm always on the lookout for valuable things that save me time. I've often thought "Wouldn't it be fantastic if someone who knows what really works in investing went through all the information out there, whittled it down to what's important, and dropped it in my e-mail inbox or on a website every morning?"  I assumed it wasn't possible... Guys that actually know what works don't waste their time doing this. But the folks at my publisher, Stansberry Research, thought it was possible... And they set about to create it. It's called The Daily Crux. I'm biased here... because I was a small part of helping answer the questions"What's interesting? What's worth reading every day?" They were tough questions to answer... as most books or newspapers aren't worth the time it takes to read them. I was also skeptical. I thought you couldn't get the right team to make this service what it should be. But the gang at The Daily Crux makes it work. It's already the first thing I go through in the morning. In short, every day, the Crux team sifts through the top financial newspapers, magazines, newsletters, blogs, shareholder letters, and research reports. They also get ideas from the best investors we know, like Jim Rogers and Bill Gross. After going through all this stuff, they select only the most valuable news, ideas, and opinions for inclusion on the Crux website. (And Crux "Home Delivery" puts it all in my inbox.) It's a big goal... to be a great financial media digest. The mandate is to pass on "useful, interesting reading you may not have time to find yourself... reading you'll be able to use immediately to make smarter investments." I think the Crux is accomplishing its goal... Outside of listening to a little CNBC on the drive to the office, the Crux is where I get my news in the morning. You hardly need to go through much else. Like I said, I'm biased. I've played a part in its creation. But you have nothing to lose in trying it. It's free. And I think you'll like it. Most importantly, you'll be using your time wisely... you'll save yourself hours per week of reading... AND you'll be a smarter investor. Good investing, Steve P.S. Be on the lookout for our new Sunday edition of DailyWealth... It's brought to us by The Daily Crux. I'd say if you read nothing else during the week, reading the new Sunday edition will make you a more informed investor than just about anybody.
