A Free Opinionated Directory of the Best Websites for Investing Information
More than a simple list of sites, all entries are personally selected by Winning Investing's editor, and San Francisco Chronicle Online Investing columnist Harry Domash. Each entry includes Domash's informative description of each site. The descriptions are informative and unbiased, not hype supplied by the sites. Many descriptions include tips on using the site.
All investors, whether just starting out, or experienced, will find sites with information that will make them better investors.
Categories Listed
Categories include: Advice & Tips, Analyst's Ratings & Forecasts, Bonds, Charts, Company Research, Conference Calls, Discussion (message boards), Direct Investing, Economic Analysis, Forecasting Future Market Direction, Fraud (how to avoid), Fundamental Analysis Tips, Guru Investing, Industry/Sector Information (News), Industry/Sector Selection Strategies, Insider Trading, International Investing, Mutual Funds, News, Portals, Portfolio Trackers, Retirement Planning Tools, Screening (for stocks and mutual funds), Stock Seasonality, Selection Strategies, Stock Splits, Spy on Fund Managers (for stock tips), and Web Broker Ratings.
Here's a sample listing from the Screening category:
Zacks (www.my.zacks.com): Zacks compiles the analysts' earnings forecasts and buy/sell recommendations you see everywhere. Zacks' screening program lets you search for recent rating upgrades or downgrades, changes in quarterly earnings forecasts or long-term earnings growth rates, stocks likely to spring a big surprise on report date, and more. You can use their Predefined Screens or make your own using their Custom Screener. Try "Zacks Rank," a proprietary screening parameter that incorporates the most important momentum factors: earnings forecast changes and surprise history. Zacks says it's useful for picking stocks with the best-expected price performance over the next three to six months. I used to pay big bucks for this info. I can't believe they're giving it away.
About Winning Investing
Winning Investing is a free site dedicated to helping all investors become better investors with a collection of educational and other features that you won't find elsewhere. Here are some of the highlights.
Basic Training includes dozens of tutorials that investors of all experience levels will find valuable. The tutorials are based on my San Francisco Chronicle investing columns and you can sign up to receive new columns by email when they are published.
The Idea Generator displays lists of investment candidates selected using proprietary screening formulas. There are currently four lists that are updated weekly: 1) Stocks with strong fundamentals and a good chart, 2) Financially solid dividend payers, 3) Stocks with strong recent institutional buying, 4) Stocks with strong recent institutional selling, and 4) Contrarian candidates.
The Stock Market Glossary is much more than simple definitions.
The Stock Analysis Checklist is an easy to follow, step-by-step procedure for fundamentally analyzing stocks.
The Death Lists are two lists of stocks expected to underperform the market over the next 12 months. The original Death List is based on a screen used by Barron's several years back to select stocks to be listed in articles identifying predicted underperformers. A new version of the Death List looks for stocks strongly recommended by analysts, but with little institutional sponsorship.
