A few places for Information

I thought it would be helpful to list some websites I use for trading and investing information.

I do not list any blogs or blogsites here primarily because I am pretty new to the world of bloggers and have not done enough due diligence to recommend anyone yet. I have begun to read a few and am beginning to form some opinions, but they will have to wait a while before I opine on that subject.

I also do not list any sites that tout stocks as I do not read any nor would I recommend anyone doing so.

General Business and Financial News, Print:

I subscribe to the print and online versions of the following because I still like having a newspaper or two around the house. Helps during the winter for starting the fireplace as well. Of the three I would say IBD has the most actionable information, but the era of these publications is fading.

Investors Business Daily http://www.investors.com

The Wall Street Journal http://online.wsj.com/home-page

Barrons http://online.barrons.com/home-page

Specific Sector/Industry Info:

I subscribe to the premium content of many of the following, and you will have to decide if there is enough reason to justify the expense for doing so for yourself. The free content varies by site but almost all have some value.

Misc:

I have posted regularly on only two forums since I found the existence of such things and I want to post them here because I have learned a tremendous amount from the great people who post there. They also have the benefit of really great proprietors and I am thankful they take the time to keep them running.

The first and the one which I have the deepest connection to is the Online Traders Forum which is run by my friend from the igloo in the great white north Thierry Martin.

http://www.onlinetradersforum.com/ and on twitter http://twitter.com/TradersForum

The second is one I found fairly recently, and found the folks there to be amazingly generous with their time and information

http://www.freetradingvideos.com/default.asp and on twitter http://twitter.com/FreeTradingVids

I would suggest you follow the folks I follow on Twitter, every one has posted something I found of value, and many are simply amazing resources.

And finally, the folks who post on Stocktwits, which I have found to be a most incredible group of individuals and a truly valuable resource in and of itself. I can’t remember the last time I got any news from a “professional” outlet before it was posted on Stocktwits. And in a somewhat self promoting statement, I would like to point out the folks who appear on StocktwisTV. Each one is a professional with a proven track record who takes the time to provide info that you won’t find anywhere else, and they do it for free. I recommend you make use of this resource because actionable information, brought to you in real time, for free is a very rare thing.

Have a resource I didn’t mention, or a correction? Why not leave it in a comment below?

Have a good Weekend,
