Online magazines are most useful for their up-to-the-minute information and the interactive planners and tools they provide, but you'll probably want to get paper magazines to do any serious, in-depth reading.   Step 2:  Money Magazine Money (www.money.com) is a solid, general interest investment magazine with a good companion Web site. You'll find a lot of valuable information here—stock and fund tips, investing tutorials/calculators, screening tools, general financial advice—and most of it is available free without a subscription.   Step 3:  Kiplinger's Kiplinger's Personal Finance (www.kiplinger.com) is another good choice for a general interest investment magazine. Investing, retirement planning, real estate, insurance, taxes, and family finances are all covered here.   Step 4:  Smart Money Smart Money (www.smartmoney.com) is another general interest personal finance magazine with a great Web site. This site also includes Smart Money University, full of detailed investment tutorials.   Step 5:  Mutual Funds Magazine Mutual Funds Magazine (www.mfmag.com), obviously, focuses on mutual fund investing. It provides a lot of useful mutual funds information, but you need to register to gain access. Some features are free, but others have access fees.   Step 6:  Other Magazines Some other magazines you might want to try include Forbes (www.forbes.com), Individual Investor (www.individualinvestor.com), Online Investor (www.onlineinvestor.com), and Worth (www.worth.com).
