Any ideas on who has the best finance/portfolio site...Yahoo Finance has improved theirs again, now virtually unusable...

[Former MSM Viewer]

I wish Yahoo hadn't continually tried to "improve" the finance site. They have ruined it.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I am in total agreement with you. Yahoo used to be great, now not so much.

What kind of info are you looking for? Can you be more specific?

http://www.morningstar.com/

The forums are full of useful opins and good info as some pros visit there.

Vanguard...depending upon what you are looking for

I second the request.

Yahoo should go back to their old screener tool. The new one is a piece of crap.

[Former MSM Viewer]

Portfolio, columns with customizable data, such as price paid, # of shares, ex div date...all in easy to use format. Just like it used to be before a string of “improvements”...

Lots of info at e-trade...I like it and they link to Morningstar etc.

[Former MSM Viewer]

I would pay for the old site...it was far and away the best portfolio site on the web...they have continually degraded it...

When I look at the articles on Yahoo Finance, it's for entertainment rather than information. It's amusing to see article after article by people who claim to know why the markets are doing what they're doing. The sequence goes something like this:

Day1: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day2: Dow down 100 points because of ...
Day3: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day4: Dow down 100 points because of ...
Day5: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day6: Dow down 100 points because of ...
Day7: Dow up 100 points because of ...
Day8: Dow down 100 points because of ...
etc.

All of the reasons they give for why the markets are roaring up and down from day to day become meaningless within 24 hours (if they weren't meaningless to begin with).

If the people writing these articles were actually telling the truth, the sequence would look like:

Day1: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day2: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day3: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day4: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day5: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day6: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day7: Dow up 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
Day8: Dow down 100 points because of random crowd behavior.
etc.

But that would get boring; so instead they print entertaining, but meaningless, speculation.

I rarely read their articles, but their portfolio management page used to be awesome! Not anymore...

Wow, Yodlee looks interesting...gonna dig in...thanks...

I always wondered how they attribute the daily rise and fall of the fall to any one story.

Who looks at the news and says "Trump met with THIS person? Oh I'll buy some stock"

The DJIA is by definition diversified- how can one news story be claimed to have affected anything?

The ONLY thing that does seem logical is 'the markets' rising on Trumps inauguration, because that is clearly a universal positive and more people jump in.

But to look at the DJIA and say THIS one story made it go up and down- I don't get it. It seems like media propaganda, as they try to imply direct cause and effect.

If they said "THIS news story happened today" AND "The DJIA went up 100 points" that would probably be ok, but to say "The DJIA went up 100 pts today because of THIS news story?" I don't get it.

I had a 'feedback' tab on the bottom of my 'improved' Yahoo!Finance page, so I left feedback against the new layout.

Extreme backlash from users made Yahoo! undo their last attempt at 'improving' the portfolios page, so I encourage all users to give negative feedback again.

Morningstar is good. Also see Nasdaq Smart Portfolio.

Check out ‘simplywall.st’. Its a fee based site but it has very cool portfolio management features. Its well worth the relatively low fee in my opinion.

Just remember - ‘diversity’ is your friend...when it comes to investments. PMs, stocks, bonds, paid-for land, paid-for vehicles, no CC debt, guns & ammo.

You’re all set. :)

They all suck. Everyone either talks their book or large hedge funds and the like pay people support their position, whether it is short or long.

The forums are loaded with paid boiler room trolls. If a stock is being shorted then 1/2 the people there will be paid to bash it.

Here is a good article on naked shorts:
