Tools (such as Investools & etc)

[pyoon]

Can anyone recommend me a great tools I can use or purchase? Many of our members seem to have Investools. But for a beginner like me, it just costs way too much ($2,000 for initial sign up and $300 every six months thereafter). Maybe I can do with $300 every six months, but initial $2,000 is a bit of a large commitment).

Does any of you know of reasonably priced tools that can help with screening rule #1 stocks and other helpful stuffs?

Do we have any thread that shows the comparison among paid tools?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

I feel this forum with its MOS calculators, opinions, company research, and knowledge shared by its members is the end all reasonably priced (free) tool to help screen rule 1 stocks.

Do not even bother , most of the "tools" can be found online for free. Ask on the forum or feel free to message me and someone will point you to free websites.

Why not post those free tools website on this thread? I am sure there are others who would be interested to find out or at least to compare notes onwhich free tools they use.
