Our favorite websites, blogs and newsletters for recommendations about stocks, bonds, funds and more.
AS SHAKESPEARE HINTED IN As You Like It, too much of a good thing can be, well, not so good. When it comes to information about investing, it seems, truer words were never spoken. Data, charts and stock tips abound on the internet. Many books and—ahem—magazines offer a ton of investing advice, too—enough for rookies to master the basics of investing and for old hands to hone their skills. The problem is, the flood of material makes it difficult to separate the good, the useless and the stuff that’s flat-out dangerous to your wealth.
How do you sort through the jumble of voices to find the advice that’s most appropriate for you? The key is to make sure your investing philosophy meshes with that of the source you’re reading. Focus on finding a suitable source or two. “Too many voices can be a problem,” says Dan Wiener, editor of the Independent Adviser for Vanguard Investors. “It can get confusing.”
We polled advisers, professional stock pickers and bond specialists to find the best investing tools, newsletters,websites and journals. Some of our favorites are free; you’ll have to pay for others. We’ve organized our favorites by topic: stocks; mutual funds and exchange-traded funds; bonds; and market commentary and more.

But any performance data beyond that date comes from the letters themselves and has not been independently verified.
