The best investment newsletters tend to combine as many tools as possible - fundamental, technical, psychological - in order to deliver terrific returns to its readers. However, there are some that give a special emphasis to technical analysis in their work, and a few qualify as outstanding investment newsletters, and only one as the best investment newsletter using technical analysis.

The fundamental criteria we look for in such an investment newsletter are:

• Long term market-beating performance
• Editors follow a system, and stick to it
• Editors know when to pay attention to a particular technical analysis tool and when to ignore it
• Not be completely bound to only technical analysis, but to always keep the big picture in mind
• Have a feel for the market

Using technical analysis continues to be an art form, and thus one must be wary of investment newsletters that completely rely on only this aspect of the market. While technical analysis is very useful in marking trends, and sometimes reversals in the market, they are not always useful in pinpointing every twist and turn. Sometimes, in this type of analysis, if a particular tool is followed widely, it becomes ineffective. It is up to the editor of the newsletter to caution themselves and the readers in reading too much into any of the number and charts. Any successful newsletter editor must look at all aspects of the market in order to generate high returns.

The best investment newsletter using technical analysis is arguably the Aden Sisters, whose work in the field of stock market, bond market and precious metal investing is nothing less than remarkable. With a combination of fundamental analysis, market psychology and extensive use of technical analysis (trends, Elliot wave and so forth), these sisters have done a superb job of guiding their readers through some very profitable years.

The Aden sisters do recommend stocks, bonds and other securities - however, following the portfolio recommendations takes a little extra work than for other outstanding investment newsletters. But the extra effort is worth it, as it will pay off in spades as they get you in early on individual securities and help you ride the wave, all the way to the top!
