Okay, this post is dedicated to those who are interested in finance and especially stock, currency, commodities, indexes and other instruments trading.

On my opinion, these two sites are really good to follow up the market and your portfolio on daily basis http://finance.google.com/finance and http://finance.yahoo.com/ (Note two sites of two competing companies Google and Yahoo).

MSN and AOL offer similar services; however I don't like them.

Along with these two, I'd suggest some really great financial news resources which I read every day. Here we go:

MarketWatch http://www.marketwatch.com/
Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/
Reuters http://www.reuters.com/
Forbes http://www.forbes.com/
Financial Times http://www.ft.com/

I found this on-line manual:
http://finance.rambler.ru/articles/149523/

I think I have to find something interesting what to do with passion too.

Thanks for the Topic, really important one.

Let me add, though not a news site this Wikipedia link:

List of finance topics (Wikipedia)

Oh, I haven't noticed your reply - that's a useful wiki link. I'll read what they say about the stock market.

MSN have one of the best free portfolio managers on the web. I have been using this one for more than half a year. Here it is MSN Deluxe Portfolio Manager - setup page. There are shortcuts to some screen shot previews.

The only bad thing is that if you use any other browser than IE it will not work.

Here's another one for ya:

The Financial Sense Network

a pretty good mix of reviews and opinions, tend do go with the more harsh criticism of the day and may scare the ordinary folk into buying gold or some other tough serious investment, but altogether a good source of info

Also, Krassimir Petrov writes and publishes some good overview pieces in it. His early editorials on the real estate bubbles and the hard landings seem scary, given they were written years and years before their actual observations in Bulgaria and the world.

Thank you, I'll definitely spend some time in this site.. [maybe after the renovation is over]
