This may have been posted back in Oct. when the article first appeared. stockpoint.com October 28, 1998 Web Masters The best get better in our annual survey of top Internet investment sites . . No. 2: CBS MarketWatch (http://cbs.marketwatch.com *** 1/2 ). Less than a week after DBC Online was named to the second spot in last year's Top 10 list, financial-data giant Data Broadcasting announced a joint venture with CBS. The resulting site, CBS MarketWatch, draws on the strengths of both, and lands in second place again. CBS MarketWatch can't match investor tools found elsewhere. It does offer a good portfolio tracker, a reasonably robust stock screener, a charting utility with tools for technical analysis, and direct links to data from companies such as Hoover's and Zack's. Its Getting Personal section offers good reading for investors looking for market insight and guidance, and industry names like Thom Calandra and Paul Farrell offer their takes on current financial events. The standard data are there in abundance, retrievable individually, or in quantified groupings (earnings surprises, initial public offerings). Like MoneyCentral, CBS Market-Watch delivers a lot of the same tools offered on other investment sites. But its strengths lie in reporting and analyzing breaking news and its ability to select a set of features that will likely appeal to many individual investors -- in a clear, lively interface. All free, and with tools for both beginners (most notably an impressive investing primer) and old-timers.

tom, I think the USAI drop was due to overall market being bad and the "sell on the news" or IPO. It did have a nice run over the last month. Not everything goes straight up. (except yhoo ebay onsl ...) but now they are going straight down. DBCC chart is still intact and think we will have an up day to and close up a buck or so. Either way, Marketwatch IPO will help DBCC longerterm. P.S. Im down too. About the same...Well.... a little more but think this is a good place to be.
