I guess Iām curious as to whether a subscription service is a valid way to invest in the market - and if so, which subscriptions you use.
Iām talking about services like Simply Wall Street, Alpha Premium and the like.
Thanks in advance!

Iād like to know whoās using Yahoo Finance!! Iāve been online since the 90s and watched Yahoo shrivel up and use its amazing reserve midas touch to turn every acquisition itās made into poop.
As Iāve started investing (thanks to Freetrade) Iāve been amazed at how good Yahoo Finance is - especially compared to everything else Yahoo does. Itās so good that I downloaded the app and went to make an account only to discover that itās Ā£349.99 a year?!
Who the hell is paying that for a Yahoo product and what does it get you above and beyond the free access??
I am not paying for yahoo. I am on their freemium model and it does the thing quite nicely. I like their UX. Also Atom finance is really good as an app, so much data and they even upload presentations or investor call docs. And i also use koyfin for a bigger picture, also free atm.
I donāt use any, the only ones I would consider would be industry news, not general investing analysis.
Iāve often been disappointed that I canāt read the articles on semiaccurate (semiconductor news & leaks) but I donāt trust it enough to subscribe, also it costs $1,000 which is quite pricey.
I use free yahoo finance for news/articles to see what is happening for curiosity but mainly for notification alerts for a specific increase/decrease stock price since Freetrade doesnāt have that.
Following this with keen interest to see other peopleās thoughts. Iāve been considering it myself for a while but generally worry that nearly all of these resources simply influence people to act as sheep and cloud individual judgement.
Iām also interested in this, I currently use a few traditional sources, such as FT aswell as yahoo finance and sometimes just Google certain stocks to find relevant articles! However, having a consistent source of general business news would be useful.
I signed up for Motley Fool because itās had some great articles. Itās really helped me with advice to invest in Tesla and Apple - some really informative articles.
But thereās one key stock that theyāve recommended thatās outperformed both of those, in fact itās outperformed every stock, every index, every ETF, every commodity and every economy on earth.

I keep meaning to remind myself how to block publications from my Google News feed. Motley Fool always comes across as click bait garbageā¦ but some people pay Ā£149 a year for it. Does anyone here?
I blocked it from my Google feed ages ago, I assume itās complete junk from the little Iāve seen but perhaps itās better behind the clickbait.
The italics and smug tone immediately made my eye twitch.
Thanks for the replies - itās good to see that weāre all pretty much in the same kind of boat!
The MF stuff really grates with me too. They seem to have a fairly consistent formula which consists of:
I have to say that Iām finding the free version of Yahoo Finance the most useful so far. Iām finding the news most relevant and Iām enjoying the way that they compile details of Analysts Price Targets and Recommendation Trends which I would assume are paid for services elsewhere.
Outside of that, SeekingAlpha has been interesting for its opinion pieces and news and Iām intrigued by their paid offering but not enough to be paying Ā£200 up front now. Anyone use their Pro offering?
Came across exactly that the other day. Absolutely shameless. I mean we all know they do it and I personally am not subscribed to any of these subscription services for exactly that reason, but to actually see two conflicting articles from the same place side by side was even new to meš
Within 24 hours of each other too
A lot of people here seemed to be using Genuine Impact, not sure if thatās still true.
I do!
I find it a pretty good source of information (as part of a varied diet ), in particular the way they rate stocks is clearly understandable.
Iāve often run into the issue of them not covering a stock, understandable as a start-up of course. If youāre sticking to the main names, you should be fine.
I got it in the sale price a while back (Ā£10/year lifetime offer) so itās pretty cheap for me, not sure Iād pay the full price this early in the product, but with a few more features (personal portfolio tracking) and more stocks covered it could be worth it.
It also has a āOn Freetradeā filter, which is nice. Signed up yesterday with the Ā£10 a year deal, which is still on for a few more days.
Genuine Impact is indeed a breath of fresh air and I did snatch the Ā£10/year lifetime subscription model which is neat. Love the their format and constantly evolving.
Just seen offer is still available till Tuesday 1st Sept - Pricing
Going to sign up since its Ā£10 for the year and reading comments about it above thanks for the tip!
Regarding Genuine Impact, how do you āall personally use it? Do you have a plan or system using it?
I have the service but have not figured out a way to fully utilise it.
