Also today, Crikey sticks its neck out a little further than usual. As well as doling out our normal dose of criticism – in this case, the Fairfax decision to close down its two successful finance magazines Shares and Personal Investor (again for subscribers only) – we have decided to put our money where our criticism is and make this offer to the subject of our criticism: don't close the magazines, sell them to us. We'll pay you $5 million for the pair. Firm offer. And this is not spin.
