Tamar,

I agree completely. As a matter of priniciple $129 for a PROFESSIONAL publication is very reasonable. In every field... doctor, lawyer, stock market, etc. professional publications cost more than a magazine off the rack. I've seen professional stock market publications costing $1,500 a year for the same size as FoxTalk.

I think the main problem here is confusing mass market commerical publications with proffesional publications.
