Wall Street Net lets you search recent issues by investment bank, company name or stock symbol, as well as tracking mergers and acquisitions. A site called MarketGuide offers quotes, news, price charts, stock-screening tools, and company rankings on over 9,800 stocks trading on the NYSE and Nasdaq. Another good site is called NewsAlert, and allows you to search news releases on major wire services for a specific company, as well as to get a quote and graph a stock's performance. Some of the big Net companies have gotten into the fray too -- Microsoft Investor offers a good all-in-one site, although you have to download some Microsoft stuff to use it.
A site called The Financial Center calls itself "the home of Wall Street's Market Mavens" and offers everything from chat areas to RealAudio discussions by investment writers, and StockMaster provides easy access to quotes, indices and can now search for Canadian stocks too. A site called Dailystocks has a huge collection of links available for various companies, including links that automatically search various databases. The CNET online service also has an investment area called News.com Investor
A great charting site with lots of cool features is aptly named BigCharts. An excellent all-in-one site with stock quotes and market updates is one put up by The Data Broadcasting Centre. DBC also provides stock-quote feed for many other investment-related sites, and for services such as the one that sends stock quotes to your pager. For full corporate disclosure, check out NYU's EDGAR service, a free interface to the SEC's database. If you feel like paying $4.95 per document, have a look at EDGAR Online.
A site called Disclosure.com has a link to EDGAR documents, and a link to both Quote.com and PRNewswire, and Money Talks has columns by various investment writers -- some focusing on small-caps, others on macro-economic factors. Newsalert offers stories from business wires and access to MarketGuide snapshots and Zacks research in additon to stock quotes. Other general sites include Wall Street Research Net, which now has Grant's Interest Rate Observer online.
For a concise market wrap-up every day you can have a look at Briefing.com, which also offers paid features such as regularly updated intra-day quotes and news. Another good all-in-one spot called Investors Edge allows you to create a portfolio and track it online. Another good site is called StockSmart which is extremely rich in information, including market updates and data on both individual companies and industries.
Thomson Financial Services (owned by Thomson Corp. which also owns my employer, the Globe and Mail) has an all-in-one site called Thomson Investor's Network. Thomson owns a lot of databases, and this site makes use of them by giving investors access to company reports, analysts' earnings estimates, insider trading and a number of other things, including the ability to sort companies by criteria such as return-on-equity. There's also a good site called E-Investor, and Standard & Poor's has one called S&P's Personal Wealth.
If you're looking for all-in-one investment resources, a site like CBS Marketwatch is a good place to start -- with quotes, news feeds, investment columns and other free info. Intuit, makers of the popular Quicken financial software, have an all-in-one financial site by the same name at Quicken.com, and a Canadian site called Quicken.ca. Another good all-in-one site is Wall Street City, which allows you to search stocks and mutual funds by performance, track stocks and graph historical data.
