Synopsis

ChatGPT (A)'s review:
"Final Verdict
🌟 Rating: 4/5
Your book is a valuable resource for self-directed investors, particularly those interested in using online tools for research and market timing. With tighter editing and better visual organization, it could become an even more impactful investment guide."

This book includes Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis. However, we depend on the everyday news on Intangible Analysis and Qualitative Analysis that are available for the web sites described in this book. From real experiences, this book shows you the pitfalls that could save you hundreds of dollars.

This book identifies some good sites with the following characteristics:

• Concentrate on investing and stocks.
• Tell us what stocks or sectors to trade.
• In-depth analysis of stocks and sectors.
• Providing reliable statistics.
• Avoiding frightening headlines as in many YouTube videos and investing news.
• Available (free or low-cost).

Barron’s fits all the above categories except the cost. MarketWatch is bundled in a promotion with Barron’s; it is a little basic to me and has many features that can be found in other similar sites such as Seeking Alpha and Yahoo!Finance. I am keeping watch lists of the recommended stocks and I will update their performances. Most of the watch lists have a reduced number of stocks after my evaluation (described in the Book 3 treating Book as “super section”).

I used Barron’s digitized version in this book. The printed book should be available in most libraries. Use Spotify to find the free version of Barron’s. I also subscribe to Fortune magazine and it is usually in my car.

Bloomberg is another website with a lot of beneficial information, and as many other sites they are free for a limited number of articles. WSJ is a required subscription for many business students, and it describes the market better than most other web sites. There are many interesting YouTube videos. Many listen to these videos during their commute.

Finviz.com and Yahoo!Finance have been described throughout this book. Many YouTube videos are included in this book. You can bring up YouTube and enter the topic you want to search for. YouTube videos are more fun to watch. Investopedia has a lot of good articles. Do not forget the articles from your broker such as Fidelity.

I have not written this book for any of the websites and receive no money from them. I will try to guide you on how to make full use of these websites. As with everything in life, no web site is not perfect. I will point out issues when using it and how to save you some money. Some media have their hidden agenda. To illustrate, when an analyst tells us to buy gold now, there is very good chance he has taken the action already. Some info could be outdated.

From the web, we can divide the articles into two categories. The first one has basic ideas such as most articles in Wikipedia and Investopedia. The others are on current events such as “the market crash in 2023”. Use the ideas and it may help you in a similar event in the future.
