Anyone have any strategies to using the “market edge” system?

Question: Anyone have any strategies to using the “market edge” system?
They seem to have a lot of information and leave it up to the user to determine how to use it. The data seems conflicting sometimes as well. They email out a list of short sale candidates, but when you look up 2nd opinion they are not stated as short sale candidates.

The “market” may have a bearish reading, but still some stocks are rated “long” or “best-long”. The email has stocks w/ a buy rating, but the message at the top says that the market is bearish and limit investments to short sale candidates.

Help!!!

1) I listen to “Market Edge”, maybe twice a week, and agree with you: they are cautious ( by not making firm recommendations), and since market conditions seem to change week by week, they may appear to be contradictory.
2) REMEMBER: They are in business to secure clients with investment $ $ $ , and wil not (cannot?) give away free info.
3) Don’t listen to Gabriel Wisdom – he is a shill, looking to garner new customers (as is “market edge”).

Does the “Writer’s Market” book contain email-addresses for the publishers and agents listed?

Question: Does the “Writer’s Market” book contain email-addresses for the publishers and agents listed?
I’m trying to sell my novel, and I much prefer sending email queries because I hate wasting ink/paper. I want to know if buying Writer’s Market is worth it to me- does it just list the agents’ addresses, or does it also list their email addresses?
Actually, judging from the websites of the agents’ websites I’ve already found, a lot of them are starting to prefer email.

Yes.

However, the VAST MAJORITY of publishers and agents DO NOT accept email queries. Fair or not, it is considered unprofessional and marks you as an amateur.

It will be deleted in the blink of an eye.

If you’re serious about publishing, do it right. Take the time to print out a hard copy of your query and/or manuscript, package it neatly, and send it out.
