Where do you get your financial/investing news?
Google News is my generally my first stop. It's a general overview of what's in the news. Many days this is all I look at.
https://news.google.com/news/headlines?hl=en&ned=us * Unfortunately too much of the market is influenced by political decisions. Fed lending rates, tax codes, federal budget, trade disputes/agreements, regulations, war... That's the first major decision that anyone makes when they project a target value for a stock. See the tax reform debates in the news today as a good example.
* Also, most news is "sensational" with little market impact. Analysts could care less about the inappropriate behavior of celebs and politicians unless it can be connected to the bottom line. Unless Trump is getting kicked out of office, the market doesn't care what he tweets. Unless Kaepernick impacts the sale of Bud Light or TV ad time, the market doesn't care whether he kneels or stands.
Google Finance is next (while I'm there). I like the sector summary and they have some good general tools.
https://finance.google.com/finance Then you've got a bunch of other sources. Wall Street Journal and Financial Times are probably the most influential within the decision maker circle. I like FT better when I had a subscription for school.

Feel free to agree/disagree with the articles, but sites and news like this influences decision makers who make buy/sell decisions not just for investment firms, but for all companies that have capital investment questions. You and I get a vote at the market table, but we're not moving the line the house sets.
