One I look at daily is MarketWatch. It provides good follow up around the world as well as what is happening during the day. It is update frequently during the day and of course each of the market "tickers" are provided:

Hey BTK,

If you want to know where I watch the market, I just use msn and click on the stocks I want to see when I want to see them. Usually a couple of times a day. At lunch and at the close. I look at where the price is in relation to where it has been during the day. I also look to see if the close was higher than the low of the day. And I look at the page that shows the info to see if there is any news on my stocks. Computers sure make it easy to get an instant fix. But I think computers probably had a lot to do with getting us into this mess we are in. Too much. Too fast.

If you want to know what I read, well I read a few of the standard money magazines, but my two favorites are Business Week and Kiplinger Retirement Report. I used to subscribe to a couple of letters, but I am over that now. I keep it pretty simple. I do not obsess. I do not touch the stuff in mattress. But I do like the market. And I wonder at its psychology.

That is easy, The WSJ!! Is there anything else? To me it is the gold standard.
