Do you have paid subscriptions to any favorite financial websites like Morningstar premium?
Has anyone used Finviz Elite or Stockcharts? I think their yearly rates are similar? Any pro or cons between them. Are they worth it? Stockcharts is pure charts and some financial data and Finviz seems to more of financial data and some charts?
Fidelity also offer stocks and even options screener and financial data like annual and quarterly reports. Is there difference between those vs what do you get from Finviz.com?
FINVIZ is faster to screen stocks vs it takes lots of time to build a stock search screen at Fidelity.

I have subscriptions for M* Premium/Investor, Barron's, Stock Rover (SR).
For my purposes, FREE StockCharts and Portfolio Visualizer (PV) are enough. I considered subscription but additional features didn't justify their high costs.
Most have presence on Twitter and Facebook and you can just follow them there to get some free stuff (alerts, snippets, even full articles).

I have been a subscriber to stockcharts for a couple of decades and I have found their site to be invaluable to me. Others do not like to use charts in their market timing so it would be quite useless to them. I used to subscribe to M* but when I moved on from OEF's, I found I had very little use for M* and consequently let my subscription lapse.

I didn't use stockcharts very much either except for their pre-determined scans but FD showed me how their charts might be tweaked to use them as effective technical signals for deep-volatility funds and stocks, according to the system I use in my book. I don't want to steal his thunder. Maybe he'll give a demo here on BB.

If/when my analysis is shown as negative against multiple charts, I go back to the drawing board to see what I am missing.... Live Long and Prosper....

uncleharley, Since you use Stockcharts a lot, I have a question regarding adjusted charts (default chart @ stockcharts.com) vs non-adjusted charts which you get from your brokerages like Fidelity or Yahoo Finance etc.
Sometimes I go back and forth. These days at most brokerages you can place a trade via charts so it is useful to look at charts with brokerages.
There is some old saying (not sure who coined this term) there is NOTHING good happens below 200 SMA.
For example (there are many such examples), EWZ (Brazil ETF)
Now if you look at Fidelity or Yahoo Finance Charts (non-adjusted), it is struggling to gain above 200 SMA for quite sometime.
But at stockcharts.com, EWZ trend is weak but silver linings is, it is maintaining its 200 SMA.
This is pure example to make a point, for your trading or investing, which charts do you go with for trend or break down or up analysis? Adjusted Charts or Un-adjusted charts?

I used to have M* Premium but as I moved away from mutual fund investing it was very little use for me. I think it was around time when Fidelity removed discounted membership perk.
I have to agree, stockchart's paid content is unique but I am debating regarding FINVIZ elite as their free content is quite good and sufficient and other stock data (annual or quarterly) one can easily get from from company, SEC or brokerage.
Has any compared Trading View vs Combo of Stockcharts + FINVIZ as Trading view seems to have both charts and stock screener?

Thanks for pointing this out. This is great for anything that pays high distributions.

I am not sure what you mean by adjusted charts. If you mean linear versus exponential, I use exponential. My thought is that I am more interested in the % of a move rather than the dollar amount. Having said that I never make a buy/sell decision without confirming my signal or signals.

Let me give you example via Charts
Example 1 of EWZ
Adjusted Chart (by the way this is default chart at stockcharts.com, in adjusted charts dividend and distribution are removed from price. So earlier times than today will have lower prices). schrts.co/hCMHrVex
Example 2 of EWZ
This is un-adjusted chart of _EWZ (by the way this is chart you will get via Yahoo finance or Fidelity Active trader Pro charts. schrts.co/SrJiGMrF

Example 2 of EWZ
This is un-adjusted chart of _EWZ (by the way this is chart you will get via Yahoo finance or Fidelity Active trader Pro charts. schrts.co/SrJiGMrFI see 2 significant things on both charts. The first is the dbl bottom formed in late 22 and early 23, the 2nd is that the price bounced down from the 200 dma. The stock is in a trading range. I use the StockCharts default setting.
