I look at briefing.com in the morning and marketwatch.com in the evenings before I go to bed. I also check out Forbes online. Used to read thestreet.com, but I find some of their analysts annoying and I don't like the Motley Fool, at all. I signed up there, but plan to cancel my monthly subscription. I also canceled my yearly subscription to Morningstar.com, because a lot of their information is old and they don't analyze a lot of the stocks I'm interested in.

All the previous were good. My tops are Market Watch (I mean even Cramer thinks he is good), Fool.com, Reuters, and CNN Money.

There are a lot of good books out there. I recently have been reading Options made Easy. I have not played the option market as much, so it has been a good read to educate me.

Investor's Business Daily has some very good info. Sign up for a 2 week free trial..you get the daily paper delivered and access to the web site for free. The paper come through the regular mail for the trial period. If you subscribe its delivered by carrier.(if you have paper delivery in your area).
This is one of Cramer's favorites.

Well you've covered all of mine. Businessweek online is a good read too but you won't get your hot stock tips from there really!

I really got into trading with the Fool.com. I think a lot of what they say is true, but a lot of what they say is completely wrong! Sometimes I feel like they're trying to con me, it's so bad!

Try to read Forbes sometime but I don't like it much. They seem to be off the pace. And that forbes guy coming on CNBC and saying oil will be down to $35 a barrel by next summer just irritated me!

Yahoo, CNN money and MSN money are the daily bread!

Totally! LOL I just read the market and general news on Forbes.com, not really the analysts.

Agree that IBD is good, too, I wish I hadn't cancelled my subscription. Thinking about starting it back up. Thanks for all the other ideas, I'll have to check them out. Haven't read Business Week or those ones you mentioned, KrazyKowboy, and that is quite a return on your investment! I'll have to pay closer attention to your posts, haha.

65% - congrats michael!! I'm not sure what I am as I keep putting more and more money into the market and I haven't tracked properly when I've been putting it in. Only started trading/investing 10 months ago. I think I'm up about 11% on the year - would be higher but for the many bad buys I'm still hanging onto from my first week!

I always check the After Hours screen at Marketwatch. I check the biggest winners and losers.

A good link to show insider buying or selling

Msn's stock screener

Also like the financial results section at msn. I like seeing the color bar charts of the earnings per share and revenue on the right hand side. You might have to download some software from msft to see the bar charts. The graphics of those bar charts easily show you how a company has done the last few years.
