Hi everyone,
I am hoping to get a bit of help and build a list of the useful free tools / websites there are to inform trading decisions! It would be great to know what you use for:
Thanks!

For live pricing I usually use Google.
And then pick articles from sources I trust for info.
I then also use Yahoo finance for analysis.
Discussion forum is now here, but maybe someone else has something better.
I use a watch list of all my shares in the Money app in Windows 10. And enter my exact holdings into my FT portfolio I prefer the portfolio stats in FT over the LSE one.
For Dividends, i use Dividend Email Notifications - This will send me emails about what dividends i am getting.
To determine what stocks to buy, i use Simply Wall St. There is a good guide on how to use it here: The Most Important Investment Video I'll Ever Make 💰 - YouTube
Originally I used SharePrice for live pricing, but that doesn’t exist now.
For forums/chat I like ii discussions, lemon fool, and here! I don’t post on Lemon Fool any more but it’s still good to read.
I use Genuine Impact for screening and double checking my picks.
I’ve actually moved my pension to PensionBee so it’s all in one place (bar the current work pension.) I did try Nutmeg for the SIPP but I prefer how PensionBee could merge everything together with less hassle. I invest with my ISA and in a GIA but I’m not comfortable to risk everything with my pension, not yet anyway!
I’m subscribed to a few asset managers for their blogs to get a feel for the markets and to stay in touch.
Also I’m a huge fan of Finimize, it’s an excellent daily update and gives me some interesting water-cooler talk.
I use Stockopedia people might think it’s pricey but it’s worth its weight in gold. Their stock ranking system is excellent and having everything in one place is very handy.
I also use the email notification for dividends from DividendMax
I also find Bloomberg is good for data, articles are under a paywall after reading 3 I believe. This is a good chart
I listen to the following podcasts:
I use the following apps on my phone:
I mainly use the apps for push notifications, to see breaking news or important news frequently. As the FT requires a subscription but if you have the app installed you still get the notifications.
I also set up a Google Alert for every stock i own or are looking at. This is handy for catching breaking news, with this though…check the sources.
I also follow the companies on linkedin that I own.
I am looking for a site that has decent heatmaps for the UK market, that would be handy.
For me…
Monitoring prices:
Trying to figure out why prices have changed:
For research:
General interest, getting ideas:
@Phil love morning brew, I get the Benzinga one as well which is very similar. Gurufocus! GM example. Shrunk pic to not clog the thread but you can click and open
