Looking for substantive business and financial content.
I need articles discussing investment options and market developments, not talking heads who talk all around a topic without any meaningful content.
There’s a boat load of “retail” finance news and information that seems to dominate.
That said.
IBD or Investors.com is probably your best bet and may be worth paying for depending on your level of engagement.
Seekingalpha.com
Motleyfool.com
If you are more inclined to raw data, or Charts. Then Freestockcharts.com or Barchart.com should suffice.
I trade Currencies so my go to website is Forexfactory.com
Great for calender’s and historical economic data vs. expectations.
If your looking for quality equity analysis, good luck. You can get all the numbers for free but won’t get the commentary or narrative from a decent analyst without paying.
I second this one. In fact, I strongly recommend subscribing to the newspaper and paying for full access to the website. Sure, it will look expensive at first, but if you have any money to invest and the subscriptions are less than 1% of your assets, you will make it back promptly.
No offense, but seekingalpha is the Bleachers Report of financial journalism. Anyone can submit an article and most are not worth reading. I agree the comments can be interesting.
Pro-Russian Zerohedge.com?
Read the comments and you will add antisemetic. Those are not the authors’ comments, but the Jew hatred there drips.
Usually most virulent when Goldman Sachs gets mention.
Well, that’s also an indication that trolls operate there. Full disclosure: I do not read the comments at ZeroHedge.
I know it’s written by “amateurs” but I find them much more informative than the so called professional analysts. And with the commentary afterwards I get a very good freely for the stock and company. Of course it’s good to check other sources as well.
What do you use?
Get a subscription to Barrons. If you don’t want to pay that much, read it at the library. But wait, it gets better! They’re having a Black Friday/Cyber Monday special right now, $1 for 12 weeks.
From what I've seen paying might get you something that could make you want to pay for more but it won't guarantee good info. It's an old business adage, that customer satisfaction is worthless but customer loyalty is everything. That's ok because the problem w/ investing is no longer not enough info, the problem today is too much info and our job is to sift and cut through to the good stuff. There are a lot of good pundits and forums for investors but after having tried quite a few I'm not just enjoying the comments on these FR threads.
Of course, if you happen to find something better please let me know...
I second this one.
Me too. I subscribe and download the eIBD pdf every morning and each weekend I pour over all the screens etc. Super stuff. We need to remember though that IBD's got sooo much stuff that when they screw up say, one percent of the time that can add up to a lot of screw ups.
That's where we come in (heh heh heh...)
