MarketWatch is nothing more than a doomsday market site. A lot of their articles are negative about the market and to when the next market crash will be. They have the audacity to charge a subscription of $19.99 for basic useless articles that can be found on other sites. If I'm going to pay for a subscription, I would want to read articles that are somewhat useful.

Biased Lefty Propoganda!
December 29, 2022

I agree with a lot of the others that this platform is involved heavily in censorship of ideas they don't agree with, just like almost all the other big tech companies! Of course! Wonder how many Dimocrats run this site?

Full of adds. Very difficult to Cancel. Was not getting digital subscription via email anymore. Had to block the future transactions through Amex to cancel. When I was sent to DOW Jones MARKETWATCH. Called May 18 They could not find my account subscription after 20 minutes on hold. Finally found and the poor phone connection with the offshore hard to understand support hung up. When the amex was not honored I started receiving email notices again. No email contact info on website to cancel. You have to call and have to be transferred to a different department to cancel. Followed them for a phone number to cancel. After 30 minutes finally canceled effective June 15. Would not refund previous month. The service stopped working in January. I knew it would be a nightmare to cancel.

Believe nothing on MW
December 3, 2021

Marketwatch will never be honest about the criminal actions that are taking place on Wall Street. They never go after the hedgefunds that are naked shorting companies into bankruptcy. They never openly discuss the fact that the market is rigged against the individual investor.

While no market watcher has a crystal ball, another reviewer nailed this site as "Doom and Gloom". It would be one thing if these prognostications proved accurate at least half of the time, however, I suspect that the editorial policy is to avoid upside opinions that ultimately disappoint in favor of discouraging ones that allow MW to say "I told you so" when the market tanks. I almost never take their comments to heart. They are frequently out of sync with the majority of experts.

Cannot connect through any browser = less than useless. Emails to the alleged tech support, etc. go unanswered. Makes me think this is nothing but a click-bait site collecting data through the WSJ.

Cyber bullying
May 20, 2020

These people are NOT journalists! Every article that pops up from them is totally one sided opinion pieces and generally abusive and insulting to the other viewpoint! It's basically just cyber bullying without oversight. Disgusting!

FRAUDULENT TRASH RAG
March 10, 2021

Please shut down your sad excuse for a news outlet. And if you decide not to, at the very least implement a higher standard for journalistic best-practices than what currently exist. Go write copy you hacks.

$20 a month now?
November 7, 2020

So - you went from ad supported to $20 a month subscription so I can read one article that says "Dow will soar in next quarter" only to be followed by another article that says "Dow about to plunge". How do your advertisers feel about the 90+% loss of internet traffic you're experiencing? There are other options for people out there, and you just shot yourself in the foot. Enjoy bankruptcy.

Used to be good information about stock markets. Now, comments are consumed with hate-speech. I wish they would leave off public comments off, like Reuter's. People can write letters to the editor instead.
