What sites do you use to research possible investments? There's a lot of misinformation out there and some terrible sites to use (like Fool.com). Just curious what some of you use to get good, honest advice where they aren't pumping stocks for their own gain?
I'm always looking for new reliable sources.

I'd stay away from Fool. Anyone that thinks they can beat the market long term, good luck with that. People new to investing typically make a big score, get some confidence, then crash and burn. They also downvote opinions like mine.

It's very interesting -- people hate on MotleyFool and Cramer all the time. Listening to them -- at least selectively -- has helped me beat the market over the past 15 years. To each their own, I guess...
I trade based on trend lines using Finviz.com

Great you beat the market over the past 15 years, but most people fail. I hope that you can continue your record for 16 years, 17 years, etc. but unless you are a professional, the odds are stacked against you. Anyone just starting out, chances are they will lose, trying to beat the market. I have a sandbox account that's used for speculation and consists of stocks that I know well - as in IT services that I've used, have also beat the market, but it doesn't mean I'll change direction from the Bogle investment philosophy. For my long term investing I love passive investing for money I'll need some day.

I hope so, too. Good luck to you.
I should clarify...I don't listen to them day to day. but I check in on their stock picks for an entry way. Cramer told me about GILD before it exploded during obama admin and clued me in to AMD at 11. plus, I find his books rather useful and much more intelligent than his shows. Fool turned me on to SHOP, PINS, and a few others that have been winners so far.
Also, i think people who invest with what you'd consider short-term goals are indeed crazy. Not that you can't make tons of money in the short term by investing -- just that there's a reasonable chance that you lose it. I see it as a "don't-count-on-it-but-take-it-if-you-get-it" situation.
