I’m looking for a great stock-selecting website and/or electronic newsletter?
Written by admin on October 11th, 2009
I’m not a big-time investor, but I’m hoping to understand stock picking and pricing for an upcoming class. I’ve tried using cnn.money.com, fidelity.com and AOL.com and discovered they each have their pros and cons about selecting and valuing stocks. I’m hoping to find a really great website that will provide ALL the essential info.
Can someone out there make an informed recommendation about a great website? Thank you.

For stock portal sites I use these 2 mainly.
MSN Money (lots of nice info on stocks you cant find anywhere else; stock screener, stock scouter rating, etc.)
Yahoo Finance (easy to use and navigate message boards are nice as well)
Stock picking I use excellent community of traders. The premium selection has picks from talented veterans in investing.

A good place to find interesting stock ideas is – this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in “play” money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own “group” so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.
Here are this month’s best traders:
Good luck.

First, I don’t think it’s wise to get all your information from any single source. You should gather information from a variety of sources, and weigh the information you receive from each.
As to particular sources, I’m a little bit biased, but here are a few:
