As mentioned by changwk, the additional fee paid for first-hand news is redundant because I don't think there is any 'critical' info for us to profit from. A few hours later, everybody is on the same playing field with the weekends to 'digest' the info. More often than not, we can get most of the info from the SGX announcements page. For myself, the magazine just get piled up weeks after weeks. If you are using The Edge for research purposes, you can just go to the library and use Factiva for a historical search. It's more convenient than flipping the pages and remembering which week it was.
I think is the crucial point, if this magazine does not contribute REAL value, it will not command a value price.
I am a subscriber. I don't look for news update, but articles, especially interview articles. A first-hand interview record of CEO of a company, worth more than analyst reports.
