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.
I paid for a subscription which is 3.99 dollars each month for 1 year then 19.99 dollars it deducted from my account and never received the subscription + i sent them and email and called them but no use they kept telling me we dont have the subscription details.

MarketWatch has Cars.com as a top-rated way to sell a car. First off, I have had a car on Cars.com for almost 3 months, and only 2 emails stating that people were interested. Neither of the people from these emails contacted me back. Consumer Affairs has a 1.8 rating for Cars.com, which is much more accurate. MarketWatch must get money from and therefore spread propaganda about the companies they supposedly review. But then, MarketWatch has a 1.6 review iteself, nuff said. Do not take anything on a MarketWatch site as truthful.

Review and suggestions.
MW is a classic steering operation. The entire focus is on retail investors (the only people who use it for investing). All the "news" and many of the articles are designed to steer investors to and away from stocks the big money wants retail investors to buy or sell.
Also, the MW "comments" on articles is a censorship operation just like all the other big online "news" outlets. If you don't agree with MW china-like corporate socialist world view your comments will be removed.
I've used market watch for awhile now and have noticed a politically fueled news feed. In their community guidelines for comments they praise being an open platform but all comments go through a editor who rejects all dissenting views. Shame on them.
Marketwatch has devolved into another narrative biased censorship platform. I have lots of emails where MW "approved" the comment and then minutes, days or weeks later those exact same comments are "rejected". I made one comment arguing against student loan forgiveness and the comment was "rejected". I replied asking why the comment was rejected only to immediately get over 20 prior comments rejected. Apparently the moderator got mad.
Still enjoying intelligent interaction on other platforms.
I used to enjoy MarketWatch as a good financial news source. Now I find most articles relate to some political issue commending the 'progressive' value or nullifying the conservative viewpoint. For example, all Congressional spending by Democrats is good, conservative ideas on (lower) spending is not. No longer is there equal reporting of both views of an issue; now they're only reporting the view that the editor supports. Sad to see MarketWatch go downhill like this.

I have been trading for 6 years. The truth about this group is that they are directly involved with Hedge fund manipulation. The are liable. They are criminal. I will never take advice from people that manipulate the game.
Take it for what it's worth. I am a retail trader. I grind everyday. These people care more about the guys making $20M per week then they will ever care about giving you advice!
Tip for consumers:
Do the opposite of what this site recommends. Don’t let them collect and sell your data to hedge funds! Beware. Retail investor Nightmare
Title says it all. Half of my comments get rejected despite not going against any community guidelines. My opinions are often against what the "popular or right" opinion being offered is, but isn't that the entire point of a public discourse? No, they much more prefer to steer the conversation to suit their narrative, real journalism.
I need them to explain to me how they had advance notice that GameStop was going to fall 30%. This is absolutely disgusting Proof of market manipulation in my eyes!
They closed my account with funds in it. AVOID this platform as it is not regulated, they will eventually steal your money and won't respond to emails and phone calls. I was pissed when they didn't let me withdraw. I got back my money with the assistance of cryptocrimeinvestigation. Com.
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.
Cannot connect through any browser = less than useless. Emails to the alleged tech support, etc. go unanswered. Makes me think this is nothing but a click-bait site collecting data through the WSJ.
Awful place to find market news. They propagate a leftist narrative and censor anything that doesn't fit with in their "community guidelines." Basically you'll be censored if you have an opposing viewpoint. Moreover, I had used Marketwatch for years when all of a sudden they started to block viewing of their articles with a paywall. Will never use again nor recommend their website.
So all of the news articles are blocked on MW now...
How in their right mind do they think that all of those crappy, ill -informed news articles are actually worth the subscription price of $23.99 per month. What a blatant rip-off attempt... their "news" was OK for free but certainly has no monetary value at all... especially when there are many other legitimate sources elsewhere for free... or if they do charge, at least they are actual news agencies.
So - you went from ad supported to $20 a month subscription so I can read one article that says "Dow will soar in next quarter" only to be followed by another article that says "Dow about to plunge". How do your advertisers feel about the 90+% loss of internet traffic you're experiencing? There are other options for people out there, and you just shot yourself in the foot. Enjoy bankruptcy.
Market watch is given out false news regarding the Israeli and Palestinians in Jerusalem. All other news articles are saying the same thing that Israelis are attacking the Muslim in the mosque while they were worshiping in the month of Ramadan but MarketWatch news was saying Palestinians are attacking (what with stones) no one can see guns in the Palestinian hands. Please if you can't get your story right and trying to spread lies then don't write no news. We don't want to hear your rubbish.
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...

Their time machine.
Nothing but clickbait headlines to get you to pay them money and in return you get the most incredible garbage product. Do not waste your time with this... Don't even go to yahoo as they push this in their news feed... poor quality. Could do better with dixie cups and a string when it comes to getting information that is useful.
Tip for consumers:
Google what you need. Yahoo has a news feed of trash articles from scam sources.

Tried it out as a news outlet.... Big letdown, Garbage product.
I can't believe there is information out there saying this site is conservative. Definitely not the case. The authors there are terrible and they constantly write the same types of stories. They always have articles that contradict one another and it is just comical. The site just frustrates me every time I look at it. I'd say it's on par with Yahoo Finance..
Please shut down your sad excuse for a news outlet. And if you decide not to, at the very least implement a higher standard for journalistic best-practices than what currently exist. Go write copy you hacks.

its a "news" outlet, they dont have a product - they sell their souls to wall street instead
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!
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.
These people are NOT journalists! Every article that pops up from them is totally one sided opinion pieces and generally abusive and insulting to the other viewpoint! It's basically just cyber bullying without oversight. Disgusting!
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.
Can no longer read articles that you can read for free on CNBC and 1000 other sites without joining their site for a ridiculous $24 a month. Can no longer make comments on articles you can no longer read. They should have stuck to ads and clickbait. Adios Marketwatch!
