You must have seen images of traders in banks, sitting in- front of screens looking at rows and rows of numbers and graphs. The problem for the retail (everyday) investor is that those numbers and graphs are not designed for him/her. The retail investor does not have the inclination or the time to go through series and series of data till he can make a reliable choice regarding his hard-earned money. But there is still the need to go through a process of garnering information as shots cannot simply be fired into the dark.
So, for that express reason there has to be a way for the retail investor to gather information which is not too complicated and at the same time provides enough information to make an informed choice with regards to their portfolio. The way forward would be the myriad websites available which provide information regarding everything you could possibly need, but with the number of choices available, how do you make sure that the information you’re getting is reliable? For that, here are a few websites you could refer to whenever you need to for some reliable information you can act on.
