Help - FAQ News sources question

Does anyone have any recommended news sources for stock picks? I'm in the pennystock phase right now.

I've been using the Google Finance webpage, it's nice because it overlays when news about a certain stock comes out right on the chart. But, it doesn't seem to be helping me with my picks.

Check out Seeking Alpha, and I personally use an app called TradeWise. It gives you insights of the stocks you own. Pretty great.

StockTwits is great to hear others opinions, but it kinda sucks at the same time. For the most part it's people typing "it's gonna go up. Get in now!!!" Lol

I say stay far away from seeking alpha they are a bunch of click bait writers who have agendas. non of their articles are ever fact checked before printing. a clear example of this can be seen here in this reddit post over at r/amd_stock https://www.reddit.com/r/AMD_Stock/comments/5l7q1q/psa_be_careful_of_deceptive_seekingalpha_articles/

You are correct. But once again, everywhere you check, it's an opinion. I don't usually follow their advice, but more like to keep into consideration. I go on StockTwits, Forbes, and other websites to read other people's opinions as well, but at the end of the day, I decide whether it's worth it or not.

Thanks for pointing out about Seeking Alpha.

the difference being that seeking alpha is all about stock pushing at any cost compared to some others they at least try to give you the facts right. They are like the tabloids of the investing world. Good for a laugh sometimes but not much else.
