Financial Information Resources:

Getting good information from resources is as important as knowing what you're looking for; it is possible to get inaccurate or misleading information from some sites, so here are a list of great resources for getting information about financial matters, the stock trade, and business performances.

1.

Forbes Finance

http://www.forbes.com/finance/

Forbes is a great place to get articles on many different topics, but they really shine when it comes to getting the latest news in the financial sector with as little bias as possible.

2.

New York Stock Exchange

The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is one of the world's largest financial stock trading institutions, and is one of the most used. While mirror sites may have more interactive information, the NYSE can guarantee accurate and timely information, in addition to some news articles.

3. 

Nasdaq

http://www.nasdaq.com/

The Nasdaq is similar in many ways to the NYSE, but it provides information the NYSE might not and lacks information that the NYSE may have. Using these two sites as dual-resources can increase understanding of exactly what is happening, and how it relates to financial matters.

4.

Google Finance

http://www.google.com/finance

While this may not be an 'official' financial institution, Google's finance page is excellent for storing personal stock lists, looking up information on companies and finding links to news articles related to a particular stock. It is a personal favorite of mine, but many other similar websites exist as well, such as Yahoo Finance.
