Not only do they prevent sign on IDs of those who disagree with their wall st promotional style but they have now gone a step further. While allowing sign on everytime a person is signed on they attack the PC by making all web browser jitter and shake. I first thought this was my keyboard with a sticking key until killing the webrowser connected to marketwatch.com immediately stopped the problem. I retried this a number of times on consecutive days with the same result. I guess they will go to all kinds of lengths to promote their views of the stockmarket only.

Everything on here is what they want you to buy not what you should be buying. Honestly meme stocks are the move 100% right now. Why do you think amc nor gme appear on their most shorted list lol.

Censors Comments
June 22, 2020

Horrible Site full of liberal anarchist. Used to be a good source for financial news, now is just a trash site for liberal bloggers. Comments from Conservatives are censored and removed within 1 minute of posting. Perfect example of how liberal media is twisting this country.

Good night Marketwatch... yes we know you are all paid off by hedge funds to spread fear and doubt and encourage panic selling - but to accidentally post your article 35 minutes BEFORE the co-ordinated crash of a stock price actually happens is straight up $#*!ed.

Enjoy the SEC investigation...

Marketwatch is now a subscription service. Why would I pay for their opinions? I used to read them for the humor value - Never for their advice. The comments at the end of the articles had the most value. Bye Marketwatch!

This website is an arm of the wall st journal. It promotes the interests of wall st by only allowing positive views on the comments to its published articles. Those that do react negatively are censored by not allowing them to post even though they are recognised by a sign in name they are told to select an id name. When they try to do so the website ends with a blank page. All attempts to contact as to the meaning of the problem are ignored. My only understanding is that they deliberately censor people by removing their abilityto post.

Marketwatch used to be one of my go-to for any financial news. But now, all the articles and news in MW is paid subscriptions. There is no way you can read any news if you click on any links from their main page.
They are notorious... on their page, they say that inorder to read the news you need to either subscribe or login using an account (either FB or google or their own). But when you sign up and login, then they still display message to subscribe inorder to read any news or articles. Crucked people... BOYCOTT MARKETWATCH... teach them a lesson and make them shut down their website.

Market watch is nothing more than a left leaning publication, that silences any descent by blocking your posts that they do not agree with, these are fact based posts that can easily be checked, for example I posted about former C. I. A. Director John Brennan "bugging" the senate judiciary computers this can be found with a simple search BLOCKED, I can list examples like this all day, Its like watching Lawrence O'donnell for god sake! I Quit Market watch you can have your "one size fits all" thinking good riddance.

Worst of the Worst
March 5, 2020

The website is CONSTANTLY having connection issues and at times won't let you buy or sell stocks for no reason. The site frequently doesn't update correctly and the standings in the challenge games are right only 30% of the time. The headlines are laughably negative, all the time. Know what you're getting into before diving into market watch, the site SUCKS!

Market Watch is using OpenWeb to monitor its comments section. Market Watch knows Openweb is shadow banning anyone not inline with the progressive agenda of the left. Pathetic of a financial site to join the left propaganda machine.

How absolutely terrible of you to post that article and be on the hedge funds side. Talk about market manipulation and scare tactics at its finest. I hope you're happy with your selves.

I use MarketWatch every day that the markets are open. It has more information than I could ever use, but it is there if you need to find it. The lay out is pretty good as far as ease of navigating. It reads kind of like a news paper, with current news and market conditions always available. All in all, I like this site except for one feature. There is a row of trading site advertisements across the main page. When you move your cursor over them... and you don't even have to stop on them... those ads immediately drop down to capture your screen, which then moves what you are navigating down to look at, further down off your screen. Then when you move off the ads, they pull back up which then moves what you were looking for off your screen once again. I find this "in your face" advertising method very annoying and counter productive for the site user. If I want to see what any of those trading sites have to offer, all I need do is click on them. I don't need them hijacking my screen. Other than that, MarketWatch is a very good site.

Marketwatch changes
November 20, 2020

Marketwatch now wants to charge $22.99 for much of its content. Not worth the price when you can get it at Newsmax Finance and CNBC Business for free. Bye, bye Marketwatch!

MarketWatch is a great website and game that allows people to practice investing but why is it that you have literally the worst connection service out of every single website ever created? I log in for 5 seconds and when i click on the search bar to type in a company, " GATEWAY TIME-OUT", so I refresh the page,
"GATEWAY TIMEOUT". Over and over again it does this because your website is so bad! FIX YOUR CONNECTION SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY USE OUR GAME!

Pay Per View

Seriously, who in their right mind would pay for opinionated news?
No way I'd pay to read what people think no matter how long they've been in the market.

Every article is so negative and tilted that you have to know that the facts are wrong, purposely negative and politically shifted. This Marketwatch site is a prime example of "Fake News"

Beware

Marketwatch is a radical far left propaganda machine. Mostly doom and gloom stock news. They repeat negative news on companies they hate over and over.

Overview

MarketWatch's reputation has significantly declined, with customers expressing frustration over perceived censorship and biased reporting that favors specific political narratives. Many users feel that their comments are unfairly rejected, undermining the platform's claim of being an open forum for discussion. Additionally, complaints regarding subscription issues, poor customer service, and a lack of useful content have emerged, leading to dissatisfaction among former supporters. While some users still appreciate the site's financial information, the overall sentiment leans heavily towards disappointment, indicating a need for improvement in both content quality and customer engagement practices.
