Most people really only go to Value Line for its stock products and that’s all they care. Nobody would say I go to Value Line for mutual fund because Value Line mutual fund is a waste of time. For mutual fund, people go to Morning Star where they can go through huge selections and careful analysis for each fund.

For Value Line, the smartest thing for them to do is to focus only on their stock products because that’s where people would identify them. Mutual fund and other unimportant products can be outsourced and repackaged by other companies out there to slash cost. There is absolutely no reason at all for Value Line to waste time and money on products that don’t make money for them.

Morning Star is really coming on strong with their stock products the past few years. They expanded their stock coverage gradually day after day and their stock analysis is just outstanding. Value Line needs to watch out and focus all their resources on their stock products more than ever, or they will lose their last strong hold to Morning Star.
