This is not really a 'found website', but a 'found' web tool. It's great for investors, too. I'm sure that by now most people know about the Google search engine (www.google.com) and many people have downloaded Google's toolbar to add to their web browser. It's really great to run searches without having to access a search engine's web site. Further, Google's search results are usually right on the money. Now... this tool I really like: The search results always have a section called "News". This is where Google searches over 4,000 online newspapers and other internet news sources. Search on a company name/symbol and you'll get all the news items in the last 30 days, which can be sorted by date. If you own a small cap stock based in smaller city, you can find home-town news coverage, which often beats WSJ or IBD articles by a day or more. Google's News results are a great tool even if you're looking up Home Depot or your favorite sports team. Search your own name and find out that your cousin has been arrested for shoplifting in his home town 1500 miles away. Your aunt will never tell you about that news.
