Help me name my newsletter?

October 1, 2008 3:29 PM

Can you help me create a name for my newsletter?

I will be starting a weekly newsletter to summarize economic events and make stock investing recommendations. It will be very data driven and analytical, using some unique analysis. The front page will be an in-depth analysis of the markets in general, the remaining pages will be dedicated to the analysis of individual stocks that have interesting price patterns. Lots of charts.

Here are the lame ideas for a name I have created thus far:
Weekly Analyst
Crunch Times
Market Weekly
Investor's Weekly Analysis

So dull.

Can you help me find a more creative newsletter name?

What makes your newsletter unique? What's special about your analysis? How is it different than your average stock investing blog/site/brochure/group? Tell us that, and we'll come up with something non-generic to call it, I promise.

Stick your name in it somewhere. "Bill's Weekly" or whatever. That way, when you've saturated the market, everyone'll be all "Hey, there's Bill. The Bill's Weekly guy." "Oh yeah? I sure like Bill and his weekly." etc.

What makes the newsletter unique?
Three things:
1. Statistically valid analysis of the market in general. None of the bull from the usual media, which attribute every move in the market to one specific concern (current two weeks are a huge exception).
2. A well regimented fundamental method of selecting stocks to be considered for further analysis, and
3. A custom method of using the daily volatility in the selected stocks' prices to determine when a stock is breaking out and is likely to move higher.

Thanks for all the outstanding suggestions for names. I knew I would get WAY more creativity from you than I was able to muster.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I am very grateful.

Since Meta is already in my company name, I have selected a variant of the Metamoney suggestion from above.

Please tell me which of these names sounds the most professional, and catchy/memorable:

Meta Market Digest
Meta Market Weekly
Meta Market Analyst, or
Meta Market Report

Thanks again,

Meta Market Digest sounds most professional and memorable to me. Digest is the least common of these words (according to Wordcount) and therefore would stand out more than the somewhat more generic Weekly, Analyst and Report. I also think that Digest has a kind of serious air about it and finally, I just goshdarn like the word.

Kattullus,

Thanks, I like that one, too.
