Pros: portfolio tracker, news, indices, columnists
Cons: tracking of sales gains/losses weak

I use the MSN MoneyCentral website daily during the
week. The information the MoneyCentral Portfolio
tracker provides keeps me up to date, minute by minute
with stock market changes.

The main attraction for me at the...

Pros: good financial advice, tons of different options to choose from
Cons: site is owned by Microsoft (i dont mind, but some might)

This site is not all about stocks. In fact, out of several topics to choose from, only one is devoted entirely to stocks. The topics are; Investor (stocks quotes, charts, news and more), News Desk, Banking & Bills, Saving & Spending,...

Pros: Enormous amount of useful and useable info
Cons: Portfolio Tracker reminds me of my bad trades

As usual, Mr. Gates has followed his strategy of surrounding himself with the best people. And MSN MoneyCentral is another example of that policy paying off.

I first went to MSN MoneyCentral when I began to develop an interest in investing in...

Pros: Broad range of topics, very simple language, concise and easy to use
Cons: None that I have found

I only frequently ventured to MSN Moneycentral and wonder what has taken me so long to find it. WOW! A great site for any number of reasons which I will cover in the following.

To begin with, the breadth of the site is quite impressive. MSN...

Pros: Great destination site
Cons: Doesn't always have all the data

I’m a new investor. I’ve just recently started taking money out of the paycheck each month and dropping it in a Waterhouse online investing account. Of course I knew nothing about markets or stocks or sectors so I started searching around until I found...

Pros: powerful portfolio manager and screening tool, great articles, wonderful stock research tool, it's free
Cons: none, other than the fact that it's Microsoft...

I will specifically talk about Microsoft Investor, since I do not have much familiarity with the rest of the MoneyCentral site. The Investor site is one of my favorite investing destinations because of its unique features that no other web site can...

Pros: Offers accurate and updated info
Cons: needs just a few less referrals and more info on the sit itself

Microsoft's MoneyCentral is an excellent source for sound financial advice. This website, like most financial sites, offers information and great advice for investors. But the difference between MoneyCentral and the rest is this. They not only provide...

Pros: Portfolio tracking
Cons: it's Microsoft

Microsoft's personal finance website is far and away the most comprehensive site I have seen. Access to the site is easy -- and free! Using a Hotmail login and password (since MSN now owns Hotmail) is all you need.

The best feature on the site...

Pros: Very thorough, and current. Great stock screening program.
Cons: NONE!

Microsoft definitely did this right.

MoneyCentral is the first place I go to look up anything relating to finance. It has articles on anything and everything. My favorite section is the investing section. They have a lot of innovative...

Pros: free and accessible from anywhere
Cons: installation problems

Microsoft Investor is a great site, when it works properly. I do not like how you have to log in practically everyday, even though I tell it to remember my login and my browser accepts cookies. Also, MS Investor won't install properly in IE5, and it only...

Pros: Very professional
Cons: monopolizes content

Microsoft has built a pretty standard financial portal in
Money Central. The resources available on the site have
significant depth, however, its seems that none of it is
really proprietary. Whoever thought Microsoft would be
...

Pros: Extensive Standard info
Cons: Too standard

Microsoft has built a pretty standard financial portal in Money Central. The resources available on the site have significant depth, however, its seems that none of it is really proprietary. Whoever thought Microsoft would be innovative anyhow. It...

Pros: tech support, convenience
Cons: bill pay

I've checked this site out off an on since it first came out. It's become a really good site that I frequent frequently. I like the way that I can view several accounts from different banks. It saves a lot of time compared to having to check one account...

Pros: Best searches for stocks, funds, etc.
Cons: MICROSOFT, should I say more?

There are many different websites out there offering sound financial advice, but Moneycentral.com brings this all to one place. Whether you want to see the most recent quote for a stock or look at the latest SEC filings, Moneycentral.com is the place to...
