Advantages: real time stock quotes, free, reliable
Disadvantages: for trading rather than research

ADVFN is the lynch pin of every online trader's portfolio. When I signed on to the site, my main focus was on the FREE REAL TIME QUOTES provided, but I have continued to be impressed by every aspect of their service. After a simple registration on their site, the free services which ADVFN offer include realtime quotes for single stocks, realtime monitors (which include bid/offer prices and the last price and volume of a share traded), share portfolios, ...

Advantages: Real time prices and trades info
Disadvantages: not aesthetically pleasing, poor bulletin boards

ADVFN.com is yet another internet finance site, but of all the sites I have used for tracking my portfolio and plotting my next move, it's the one that gives me the data most efficiently. As with all websites of this type, ADVFN is made up of a number of elements, some premium, most free. I have heard that their premium services, such as Level 2 prices and premium bulletin boards, are extremely useful - subscribers swear they couldn't do without ... Read review

Advantages: free and reliable trades/quotes
Disadvantages: n/a

one of the best if not the best sites for basic info on trades and iniyial info on companies (fundementals section). the site provides 'real-time' stock quotes/trades which are updated every few minutes. the accuracy is excellent compared to some other sites i've used before and the layout of how to use the info available is easy and simple to follow. most of the services available are free but there is a premium service that you can subscribe ...

Advantages: all encompassing financial site-with share monitors ,portfolios live prices and the best bulletin board there is.
Disadvantages: Its addictive- ones work can be interrupted when you log on to advfn

By background I enjoy investing and currently have holdings in over 30 shares. When I began to use the web more and more sign posts sent me to ADVFN . I rapidly became hooked. Availability of information is a must for an investor and with this site it is all too easy to find virtually everything you need. I set up my shares on a monitor-it only takes seconds- and for ever thereafter it only takes two clicks to have at your fingertips live time prices ... Read review

Advantages: free real time quotes, free charts
Disadvantages: none

This website has many features inclduing real-time quotes, intraday chart and historical charts, lists of the biggest risers and fallers, a bulletin board and lots more all for free. This is essential for any investor. You can also get extra facilities but of course this does cost a fee. For £5 a month you can get access to a special pivate bulletin board. For £35 you can get level 2 prices. (This is what the market makers look at)It tells you how ... Read review

Advantages: great site with everything
Disadvantages: no international support, can slow down at times

There are literally hundreds of sites devoted to finance and as far as I'm concerned for UK Shares this site is the ultimate. It has great charting facilities, where you can look at intraday charts or historical data. It has AFX and RNS news and information. There are top lists of shares data such as market capitalisation, top gainers/losers of the day. The portfolio option is great as well as you can see how your shares are doing in ... Read review

Advantages: Real time prices & good BB's
Disadvantages: Hopeless unless you pay subscriptions

Moved from iii 3 years ago and haven't looked back. Started with the free service & then upgraded to basic streaming without the timeout. Now using the rather more expensive Level 2 service for day trading & cannot imagine being without it. £60 a month gives you the vital edge and will save you/make you this amount several times over a month if you trade frequently. The seperate monitor/portfolio is a big advantage over other sites once you get ... Read review
