Reading the financial news can help you decide where or where not to invest. Many newspapers, magazines, and websites offer great coverage of the financial world. Obviously, the more informed you are, the better, but you don’t have to read everything that’s written. The information explosion in recent years has gone beyond overload, and you can easily spend so much time reading that you have little time left for investing. The following sections describe the types of information you need to get from the financial news.

Here are some of the best publications, resources, and websites to assist you:

 The most obvious publications of interest to stock investors are the Wall Street Journal (www.wsj.com) and Investor’s Business Daily (www.investors.com). These excellent publications report the news and stock data as of the prior trading day.

 Some of the more obvious websites are MarketWatch (www.marketwatch.com), Yahoo! Finance (finance.yahoo.com), Bloomberg (www.bloomberg.com), and Investing.com (www.investing.com). These websites can actually give you news and stock data within minutes after an event occurs.

 Don’t forget the exchanges’ websites that are listed in the earlier section “Looking to Stock Exchanges for Answers.”
