What financial websites do you find invaluable?

What are your favourite websites, financial or otherwise?

When you are trading, which sites do you always have open in front of you? What sites do you use for research or charts?

I like www.stocknessmonster.com for keeping my watchlist. Nice simple layout and easy to navigate!

Tell me your favorite sites.

Hi, this site looks similar to TNT(www.tradersnetwork.org.au), all the best to, Boss

After trading everyday, I'll open Colin Nicholson's site: www.btws.com.au. When trading, I use Commsec for the announcements www.comsec.com.au and use Westpac Broking for trading  broking.westpac.com.au

Good Luck
;D

Welcome Rich and thanks for your input!

I haven't been to Colin Nicholson's site. Will check it out today for sure.

I use e-trade as my online broker and have since 1998. I have always been happy with their features and performance.

There's so much free stuff on the web these days it's not funny- it 's a good point to share the good sites we've come across, lots of info if you know where to find it.

I use www.aer.com.au (Aegis) from time to time for their free sector reports but it doesn't have much on price direction, more on fundamentals. Quite good for anyone who hasn't looked at it.

There's also this great free financial mag called aireview.com that I came across by change, I have it emailed everyweek. It's free so you can't go wrong but makes me wonder how long it'll be before they start charging for it.

The ASX is best for old company announcements and general stuff- I preferred their old format for their index charts (eg SmallCap, Materials etc) as you could look up the constituents easily. Now you have to go through S&Ps.

Also see prophet.net- lots of free charting tools and other stuff. Worldwide stocks but only the larger local ones.

I should check out the sites mentioned already by richbb and JoeBlow...

Well, I'm back after a quick look.

BWTS looks great! Thanks for mentioning it, I'll be spending a fair amount of time reading the stuff now, thanks richbb!

Hi, RichKid,
Not at all.
I enjoy reading Colin's articles and track his portifolio from time to time. I use his selections for day tradings. It works well for me.
Also, I've been a menber of tradersnetwork until they stopped the free membership. I missed them, maybe one day i'm going to sign up, who know

Safe trading

richbb

I like http://www.aussiestockforums.com because it lists all the site that you guy mentioned above, thanks guys.

But I normally use http://www.comsec.com.au and http://www.shareanalysis.com for daily price movement.

Just realized that Yahoo.com.au Business has lots of stuff you wouldn't normally find for free- even their charting tools are better than on most other sites. I have a feeling that we are only now discovering Yahoo Business downunder. But it doesn't include complete coverage of all stocks, just some of the major ones. just search for a stock and it gives you a full wrap on everything to do with the company.

This forum has a nice relaxed feel to it, keep it up guys! :D

Happy Trading!
RichKid

I feel that when there are not many people online, you do learn  a bit more.

I do read hotcopper but a lot of posts are not useful at all.

Yeah I also use www.comsec.com.au as they are my broker and then finance.yahoo.com.au which I find, to my amusement, really useful.

Hey Joe I really like the stockness monster site. Thanx :)

I always check or use these daily
www.corporatefile.com.au
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com

bigcharts is excellant you can save charts as your favourites and its free compared to some other sites
Brer

Yeah I agree with brerwallabi on the bigcharts site...its got some great features and its free, I use it for all my charting.

For those of you like me who still have to work a normal job but like to check the prices throughout the day, i found this one.

http://www.tradingroom.com.au/index.html

If you guys have any better ones please add them in.

Cheers Stink

Good one Stinky, I use the trading room website as well. Find it very usefull and a quick way to check on stocks= Live quotes, intraday charts, trading summarys, news and events. A very handy tool at no charge -Excellent.

i know there are lot of resources out thier, and you only need what works for you, i give the trading room the thumbs up. Can't ad to your collection at this time.

Stocky.....:2twocents

I seem to be using this one alot lately.


www.stocknessmonster.com

I think this one need needs no introduction. A new site for me as well, more than happy to share it with you! and add it to the collection. :D

http://www.tradingeducation.com/

http://www.speculative-investor.com

Well worth a visit - have been using this US paid site for several years -- the auther Steve Saville comes up with some very valuable insights into markets which are more than often overlooked --- try the free 1 month trial -- it will probably challenge your beliefs on a lot of established theories


Cheers

I find this one, much like tradingroom.com but this one may be more creditable. Looks like good value. www.weblink.com.au/ (http://www.weblink.com.au/) Im surprised in what you might find.:D

I seem to be using this one alot lately.


www.stocknessmonster.com (http://www.stocknessmonster.com) As my last thread suggest, it is interesting what you may find. The Stockness monster makes a interesting variable to the term sharetrading,. Excellent value to see that it follows suit. Go's to show that the oldies ain't gone nor forgotten. And I always love to speculate. :D

Stocky.....

www.comsec.com.au
use for announcements, summary of company news that appear in newspapers, charting. the company forecasts and analysts' estimates also give a good idea of how the company is travelling.

http://finance.google.com/finance
great if you're also tracking the US market/economy/shares. i frequently visit for market summary, headlines and company quotes and news. i mostly use for US news.

http://www.basemetals.com
invaluable for not so much the LME prices, but the free base metals and commodoties news and reports, ie overnight iventory/price reports, commodoties alerts, frequent bloomberg links. look out for the special reports running down the LHS.

cheers
scsl

I will add www.CNNmoney.com


thanks Joe :D


Cheers

I have found www.stpt.com.au interesting....particularly the chartwatch page. Hope others may like it too.

Cheers

The List screwed up when I copied and pasted - but the full list of sites can be found here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ao1rOgU5p3de4SZuexzlxnPsy6IX?qid=200606 27133849AAuDCWU

A lot of it is focused on US stocks - but a few apply to the Aussie markets too.

Thanks for the great suggestions. Are there any useful websites or publications specialising in resources/commodities?

http://commodities.commbank.com.au/commodities/0,2023,CH3009%255FTS11672,00.html

http://money.ninemsn.com.au/shares-and-funds/
This one is really good for stats and financial information.
Reuters is useful for free up to date charts.

yup
I use www.tradingroom.com.au
because u get at a glance 1 year price history ..charts (intraday ) and breakin news too and layout is simple

Also Use ninemsn.com.au/money sometimes for research and Guides

www.bloomberg.com

It's not as user friendly as other websites, but for people like me who trade in the Australian and Hong Kong markets, it's great because I can view all my stocks in 1 portfolio.

http://www.sharefilter.com

very basic stock screens, but very useful if you want to pick a winner

both ASX and HKSE are screened
