CNBC

Pros: Personal stock ticker is a neat idea; some links to tv show for fans, etc.
Cons: Falls short in comparison to other sites, site has no real identity

The first thing I do every morning -- before I get out of bed -- is to turn on the television, to CNBC. (All discussions about whether this makes me a big loser, or just a little loser, can be relegated to the comments board or via email, thank you...

Pros: free service, you can personalize the stock ticker
Cons: the ticker is only on the home page

This site is probably right there behind Yahoo! and Microsoft’s financial page. It has nine different topics for you to choose from. Plus, the front page is filled with all sorts of different options to take advantage of. My favorite of these options...

Pros: Free, personal stock ticker, up to date information, good complement to TV channel
Cons: US focus, little global content, information somewhat difficult to find sometimes

If you invest to any significant extent, you've probably heard or seen of CNBC and its increasingly famous host of personalities that include Maria Bartiromo, Joe Kernen, Tom Costello, Ron Insana, and Sue Herera among others. CNBC.com is the...

Pros: Comprehensive Information on the Markets In a One-Stop Environment
Cons: Load Times Could Be Somewhat Slow on Older Computers But it is Above Average for All of the Content Provided

I am constantly amazed at how many people I run into who know someone who has become independently wealthy as a result of the ongoing technological revolution that has made "dot.com" pioneers multi-millionaires and made daytraders out of...

Pros: Information links provide rich context, free personal portfolios and tickers, stock picks
Cons: Poor archiving of recent news stories

Forget Marry the Millionaire. No, I have never seen the show, but news headlines indicate that all is not well with that particular wealth-building strategy. Pick that stock might work out better both in the short term and over time, and CNBC provides...

Pros: Creative, User friendly
Cons: Information is organized but tedious to navigate and access

I give CNBC.com my recommendation for a above average website. It provides great news for the financial investor with not a great deal of ad bombardment. I access the site as well as a few others for financial information. I do not think that it is a...

Pros: free, easy to navigate
Cons: doesn't give real time option quotes

If you are looking for an easy to navigate and easy to use site with basic information and tools, CNBC fits the bill. I am a short term trader and I do all my research on TC2000 the night before. During the day, I need a site that is easy to use, but...

Pros: Personalize stock ticker
Cons: No automatic refresh for home page

I was initially drawn to the CNBC web site as a result of my enjoyment of the network itself. As a computer consultant, I have the ability to flex my time and working on the west coast gives me the freedom to spend part of my mornings on my second...

Pros: Ticker is nice, good supplemental information to telecast
Cons: Had a few problems setting up ticker (resolved)

I got tuned into this website after seeing one of those Web Alert graphics on the TV show. That led me to "CNBC TV Plus" and a discussion of 2000 IPO's, and Stock Picks for the Millenium. They provided excellent supplemental information to...

Pros: Good Market annalysis, informative news
Cons: Ameritrade

BASIC FACTS ABOUT BACKGROUND TO THIS SITE:
Twenty years ago, most people had very little daily exposure to the investment world. Perhaps the only reminder was hearing a ten-second announcement on the radio about the fortunes of the Dow Jones...

Pros: Access to all relevant fund information
Cons: You can never make too much money!

This review is about a new site called metamarkets.com. Metamarkets is a mutual fund that posts all of its trades on the Internet as soon as they are executed.

This is an awesome idea and a long time coming! The rest of the mutual fund...

Pros: FREE realtime quotes, good graphics, powerful research tools
Cons: None

CNBC.com, I think, offers the most research features out of all the free financial sites I've seen. It's a lot better than Yahoo's, that's for sure.

The portfolio tracker is very user-friendly. It's very easy to set up, however, once or twice...

Pros: Most up to date information
Cons: talk about favorite stocks to much

My Husband loves this channel, The first thing he does when he gets up and when he comes home from work. They have great information always up to date with the stock market information.

There is always the ticker running at the bottom of the...

Pros: Personalized stock ticker
Cons: Asian Markets information not available

Great Site with loads of information. Updated very fast. The Stock ticker is available on the first page itself. But it is not available in the subsequent pages. This should have been made available on all the pages of the site.

It takes...

Pros: Visually pleasing site, expansive content
Cons: May be intimidating to new visitors

When I first began watching CNBC (maybe no more than 2 years ago) CNBC's site was essentially very dull...it's most informative aspect were some static profiles of it's TV personalities, and heck, I was thankful for that. It linked to the Dow Jones...
