INVESTING:
Best free sources I utilize are Madmoney and Fastmoney on CNBC, and Kudlow & Co. if you have another hour. You can subscribe to CNBC Plus ($10/month) and watch them live on the net or in taped segments afterward. Those 2 hours during weekdays (unless you can dvr and skip commercials) should be all that you need, combined with Yahoo Finance (ie most active price/vol); and stock and fund screeners provided by Morningstar.com, and chart analysis on stockcharts.com. Obviously don't react to all picks/recommendations, but when it's compelling, and if you watch consistently you'll know, then act, they are not always right, but they're more right then wrong on the standouts.
Since I'm overseeing 7 figures I'm looking for more confirms so I also subscribe to:
Investors Business Daily (good independent view of markets/stocks); John Murphy's interpretation of markets/sectors/stocks on stockcharts.com(mostly during turbulent times or significant changes in direction provides good perspective); and Dorseywright.com(great technical views/sector rotation/rating&ranking/queries...)
PERSONAL FINANCE:
Suzeorman.com is best I've seen and follow, don't really need to go beyond her. If you can't get to what you need from her website, search on topic with her name on yahoo ie Roth IRA Suze Orman; or search in yahoo answers, this is all free......
Once again, 7 figures causing me to look for additional confirmation, Jonathan Pond (usually via public television) for a fee will send you a questionaire of your total financial life and then will create a profile for you--called Smart Planner.
