This has been my experience with Marketwatch website:
I have been on Marketwatch website for several years. Their website steadiness is very squirrely. When you try to stay within the Quotes RECENT section, their ads to the right, above the Quotes pops up and slows down the site. It doesn't stay steady. It happens all the time. It requires lots of scrolling back and forth to get to the section you want. Sometimes you can't open Popular Stocks. It doesn't go to that section. You have to click it several times. Sometimes the site takes forever to open. I have contacted my server and was told that the slowness is coming from Marketwatch website. I don't find this to be an issue with Yahoo, Benzinga, Morningstar and other financial sites.
Regarding their headline articles, they are manipulative and compelling only to find what is said in their headline has no merit to the article and the article is often not substantive in content or facts. It's a headline tease. Many of their articles are opinionated rather than informative and thought provoking. I have switched to Yahoo Finance website as it is easier to navigate, has fewer technical hick ups, provides some good articles and offers a lot more financial analysis.
