Guide to Stock Market Commentary
Rely on stock market commentary for informed investment decisions
By Heather Topham Wood
1. Find reputable authors of daily stock market commentaries. Look to online financial publications to get the most viable stock analysis.
2. Subscribe to weekly market commentary newsletters. Within the newsletter, you can find an overview of market activities and stock commentary for the week. On certain sites, you can also subscribe to an expert’s financial market commentary.
3. Use the stock market analysis to guide your investing decisions. If the writer has a history of strong picks, you can use their stock market commentary to make your company money.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Get daily stock market commentary from a source you trust
Since stocks can affect your financial welfare, you don't want to go to just anyone for advice. Instead find stock market commentary providers that are well respected in the industry.
I recommend: On TheStreet.com, you’ll find daily and weekly market commentary written by experts in the field. Most of the providers have 10 years or more experience giving out investment advice. You also have the option to subscribe to one of their expert’s columns.
Read stock analysis with the most up to date statistics
Investors know that stocks change consistently over the course of a day and week. You'll want to read commentary that bases its advice around the most current daily stock market statistics.
I recommend: On Reuters, you’ll get stock analysis commentary next to statistics updated every 15 minutes. On the site, you can also subscribe to their stock commentary RSS feeds and podcasts. MarketWatch provides the same stock commentary services and real time stats.
Request stock market commentary delivered to your inbox
Many professionals lack the time to go online and search for daily stock market commentaries to base their future investments on. If this is a dilemma that affects you, opt for stock commentary providers to deliver their newsletters to your email address.
I recommend: Sign up for one of the Market Digest Online newsletters and request the stock commentaries get delivered straight to your inbox. Each one of their stock newsletters focuses on different investment strategies. Some of the best include Buy, Sell or Hold; Whisper Stocks; and From the House.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- • Always read the biography of the author of your chosen stock market commentary. You'll want to research their background in the investment field and ensure that they have no affiliations with major stock holders.
