The Internet provides a great deal of information (and sadly, mis-information).   Over the years, we have found several web sites relating to the stock market that we can recommend . A brief description of each, with links, is provided below.


Briefing.com  -  Provides quality (live) market commentary.  They do not just tell you the news, they explain why it's important.  Geared to the knowledgeable investor.  They offer ideas for investment - places to begin (not end) your research.   Part of their site is free and part is subscription.
