newspapers: best weekly financial round-up?

i'm trying to figure out what newspaper has the best weekly financial round-up. can anyone help?

currently i read the mother-in-laws 'mail on sunday' finance section, but i'm thinking that there must be better than that.

what ideally i'm after is a reasonably comprehensive overview of the week particularly relating to investments, savings, property etc

thanks

    why not try looking at all the papers websites on a saturday and/or sunday? they all have money sections. they will cover more or less the same stories and you can judge for yourself which one you like the best - the angle they approach the story from, the emphasis they place on certain things etc. .

    after having reviewed the websites on one particular day you can then go ahead and buy the paper the following weekend?

    I personally really like the guardian money section on a saturday (more consumer-oriented) and then the sunday times money (more investments etc) section on a sunday.

    try www.guardian.co.uk , www.timesonline.co.uk , www.telegraph.co.uk , www.independent.co,uk
  • For finance, the weekend FT is best. Sunday Times has the Personal Finance, Property and Business sections which are a good read.

    Please dont rely on that. Its awful. Too many simplistic responses and some real howlers in the past (such as recommending pensioners switch their corporate bond funds into tech stocks as they have grown more yet no mention of risk difference when they put them in a league table).
