| Money Week sends marketing material to lists much larger than its circulation containing extreme views designed to shock. One example of the almost impossible was 'Why UK property prices are going to fall 50%' (24 Sept 09 Money Week). Another example, written by the marketing department of the magazine, was a piece entitled "The End of Britain" relating to UK government borrowing and spending, however experts have noted it to be rife with severely biased statistical techniques, likely so that non-specialists will be mislead.<ref>Coppola, Frances </ref> This approach contrasts starkly with the principles of the original parent 'The Week'. | |||

MoneyWeek is a weekly investment magazine that covers financial and economic news and provides commentary and analysis across UK and global markets. MoneyWeek is edited in London and published every Friday.
It is owned by MoneyWeek Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S.-based Agora Inc headed by Bill Bonner.
From January to June 2011, the magazine had an Audited Bureau of Circulations (ABC) certified circulation of 47,366 (99.0% of which was in the UK and Ireland).
History
MoneyWeek, founded by Jolyon Connell, was launched in November 2000 and originally published in association with Dennis Publishing, also backed by private investors including Lord Hanson, Lord Rothschild, Roddie Flemming and Wafic Said. It was designed as a financial version of The Week magazine, which was founded by Jolyon Connell five years previously.
MoneyWeek was sold by Dennis Publishing to Financial News Ltd. in August 2002. In late 2003 it was bought by U.S. financial publisher, Agora Inc.
A South African edition of MoneyWeek was launched in June 2007, initially on a subscription basis, with newsstand availability from 2008. A French language edition, published in Paris, was launched in September 2008 but disappeared at the beginning of October 2011. The winding up of MoneyWeek France was officially pronounced at that time.
Content
MoneyWeek is edited by John Stepek. Merryn Somerset Webb is the magazine's editor in chief.
Its aim is "…to make sense of all the thousands of column inches that are published daily in magazines, newspapers and internet sites dedicated to finance and distil it into useful information that we can all profit from".
MoneyWeek provides a digest of the week's financial and investment news, and also covers associated economic and political stories.
In addition to the news digest, it features market commentary and analysis, share tips, interviews, regular columnists (including Bill Bonner, founder of Agora Inc.), and travel and lifestyle pieces.
MoneyWeek's editorial stance on investing and stock markets is sometimes claimed to be contrarian. Examples they use, include gold and oil as worthwhile investments from 2002 onwards, before they reached mainstream media awareness and subsequently rose 500% and 300% respectively by 2012. However the markets at this time were already bullish on gold and oil, and no particularly original or expert insight would have been needed to forecast a rise in the price of such assets, conversely those that were bearish on these assets would have been considered the true contrarians at this time. It has also been predicting a UK housing crash since 2004.. The Halifax house price index is close to but has yet to fall below 2004 levels.
