Analysis Websites: CNBC Vs. WSJ Vs. MarketWatch

[NYCkopp 10]

Which website do you use more out of the three and why?

 

CNBC

WSJ

MarketWatch

None of them....

 

In my experience none of them have interviews that provide usable info for my system.

 

I use Bloomberg

 

Good luck

There's no harm in using all of the mainstream sites like the ones you mention so long as you realise what you should use them for. Pre-open, scan them for news items/articles only, but don't use them for much more than that. You need to know what has the market's attention, but know that these guys have to write something. Much of it you can ignore.

What sites do you use throughout the day while trading, researching, analyzing, etc?

[MadMarketScientist 11]

Personally I just use Google finance and MarketWatch ... but simply for news and not so much for 'analysis'.

 

When I want more analysis on equities I try seekingalpha but take everything I read with a grain of salt ...

I really don't generally. If you look at say MW throughout a balanced day, one which is up and down over prior day's close, it's just funny to see the headline of how bulls then bears then bulls then bears etc are in control. It's ridiculous really.

 

I use market info to tell me what is happening. I am a futures day trader though, not a stock trader. I keep abreast of news in case there is anything market moving. You can use a squawk for this or even the likes of Google finance latest headlines. You could probably use Twitter even nowadays(although I'm not sure I would ).

as suggested by others - using any system to keep up to date with whats happening during the day will work, so long as its quick.

When it comes to doing research, then this should be done prior to the day happening - the newspapers merely report history and opinion....the markets report live.
