Check out SeekingAlpha.com
One of my favorite web sites for market analysis is www.seekingalpha.com. First of all, the content is free, and that is a pre-requisite for me! But honestly, they have really good analysis on almost everything I have looked at investing in and new articles are posted regularly. Most of the mainstream finance sites…yahoo, CNN, MSN, bloomberg, [insert media conglomerate here]… are like lemmings when it comes to market analysis. One week they are all saying “the sky is falling” and the next week the mantra changes and they all fall in line. I’m really over those sources for analysis other than to know what sentiment they are pushing that day. For real substance, this site provides plenty of food for thought.
No matter what you like to invest in, Seeking Alpha provides easy to find information. I really like the way they break up the site. Features are posted on the Home page. The Macro View is perfect for getting a variety of views on the current trends in the overall economy and staying in touch with economic reports. Stocks & Sectors breaks articles down into a handful of focused areas…I tend to focus on the Energy sector. Then there’s Global Markets, ETFs (I spend a bit of time here also), and Investing Ideas. It works for new and experienced investors.
I like to look for swings in oil and natural gas, and try to buy undervalued funds or companies. Right now there is a feature article at Seeking Alpha about such a company, China Natural Gas. Here’s a link to the article: http://seekingalpha.com/article/162508-china-natural-gas-deeply-undervalued. I wouldn’t buy something based on one article, but it did peak my curiosity.
Happy Trading!
