Honestly, I could use other sites, but the summary of Crypto/Stocks is good enough to get a reading of the day.
The articles are abysmal. May as well call it Commie Watch. Any article about a relationship they take the side of the woman and tell her to divorce/dump the guy. Any article about covid claims it's the virus ruining the economy; not the Fed artificially shutting things down. They pretty much think that open borders, the destruction of the nuclear family, and the general degeneracy is great.
They promote bubbles, they contradict themselves constantly (even the same day) with one article telling you everything is great with X and the other telling you it isn't. Many "articles" are a paragraph long and tell you almost nothing. I think they turned off all comments now that people who disagree with them are commenting.
But. They have an ok Gui for their summary.
I have been trading for 6 years. The truth about this group is that they are directly involved with Hedge fund manipulation. The are liable. They are criminal. I will never take advice from people that manipulate the game.
Take it for what it's worth. I am a retail trader. I grind everyday. These people care more about the guys making $20M per week then they will ever care about giving you advice!
I like the financial information (sparse as it is among the political hit pieces) and its easy access format, but the website seems to just be one big liberal/leftist propaganda machine whose sole purpose is to tear down our president. I'm not crazy about our president either (wish he would let someone else do the talking and tweeting), but the constant negative and destructive barrage of this website is just depressing.
Since they can travel to the future and back I am sure they already saw this review and still did what they did anyway!
They are so good that they can tell when a stock will plummet 30 minutes before it does! Amazing!
I use Marketwatch to get basic financial news. I've noticed over the last years they have more and more liberal articles that are heavily skewed towards socialist policies. And now they want us to pay/subscribe. What a joke! Today was the last straw as a fairly benign comment I posted regarding the fallacy of an article was rejected. I've reread the post and they clearly just don't like that I disagree with the academic elitist author of the article. One of the regulars, Rex Nuttig is one of the main editors and columnist and is dyed in the wool Marxist. So I'm gone for good Marketwatch.
Misinformation to steer the 'public' away from what the investors are really doing.
They point out "it's not at the bottom yet." or "prepare for massive up-swing" to push the general public stock market players to a direction that plays into the hands of the big money investors.
Can no longer read articles that you can read for free on CNBC and 1000 other sites without joining their site for a ridiculous $24 a month. Can no longer make comments on articles you can no longer read. They should have stuck to ads and clickbait. Adios Marketwatch!
Marketwatch recently changed to Pay- only, You can click on a headline, but it won't let you read the article. That's a shame, I have used the site for years for stock quotes. It has some interesting articles but a lot of click bait that is BS.
The site leans Democrat, has become more anti-Trump recently. Would I pay for the site? Hell no.
Marketwatch is your 24/7, 365 doom and gloom generator brought to you by all the rich guys banking on your emotional sell offs. It's purpose is just to scare you, make you think you need them to look out for you, and to attempt to manipulate the market because volatility and sell offs make the rich richer. I say "attempt" because it is easy to see through what they are trying to do.
Comments the moderators do not agree with, regardless of accuracy, are not published. Definitely agenda driven. Anyone with a perspective that doesn't agree with their agenda, is deleted or blocked from being published. Everything cannot be all good, all the time, and the "best" time to invest.
