Subscription market news websites

[u0362565]

Anyone got any recommendations on market news websites? and if they're worth paying for. MarketWatch seems to have some good articles but you have very limited access without a subscription. Any good free ones?

Yes, Best thing I have found in terms of data source. The Stockrank is well... Top Rank. It's easy for newbies they do all the hard work.

Great thanks for the response.

I have taken a 14 day trial and have been looking around and the site does have some great information. It has taken me a little bit of time to get used to, but I think once I'm more comfortable with it I will be able to incorporate into decisions. I will have a look tomorrow for the discount as I only have the UK market subscription. 

Great time to get Tradingview also. I upgraded my plan and saved 50%, plus a rally in cable has made it that little bit cheaper....

I've used SeekingAlpha, Barrons, the WSJ and FT in the past.

SeekingAlpha has well researched articles and it has opened up my eyes to companies I wouldn't have considered otherwise. However, some writers may own shares in the companies they cover, and you'd need to take that in mind when you read their writings.

I like that the WSJ and the FT tend to have longer form articles about certain companies or industries that wouldn't get coverage otherwise. If I had to chose one, I'd chose the WSJ. I found some of their recent articles on NIO, Wizz Air and Southwest Airlines very well written.

Barrons isn't bad either for daily news, although I find their articles often lacking in depth. However, I strongly recommend Barrons' StreetWise podcast, which you can listen to for free.

Thanks for the suggestions. At the moment I'm wondering how much I need news sites. I'm just using technical analysis but it's always good to know events that are going to cause the markets to move beyond the norm. Seems to be a mixed bag of people who do rely on news and others that don't.
