Bloomberg
Salutary stuff, and an antidote to only planning to the end of the month. Work it out and calculate the answers, from the real cost of that mortgage repayments, to the miraculous growth of your apparently measly £100 per month.
www.bloomberg.com

Bull and Bear
Friendly, fun and unpretentious, and a better place to pick up share tips than down the (real) pub. The mysterious world of commodity trading is brought to light; advice and tips are shared.

Business Index
This is an essential tool for the small investor, but this time with a global rather than a US bias. It's a plain site which doesn't dazzle with its glamorous images, but does shine with it's no-nonsense funds of information.

Numaweb
A great site that makes the complicated stuff simple - after all, you don't do your sums without a calculator do you. This is the place where all the ridiculous arithmetic that bends your brain when you intend to spread your money around diverse investments can be easily calculated.
www.numa.com

The Privateer
Controversial, irreverent, hugely entertaining and, worryingly, too often right. American, yes- but still essential for those of you who refuse to swallow the Bank of England line without question. They take the line that officialdom is mostly wrong and that the informed small investor can do much better.

Shareholder Action Handbook
Useful tactics, tips and a welcome antidote to the notion that profit is all. At this site you can see how much power the informed shareholder can have in changing the actions of a company if he/she is worried by its dubious ethical activities in developing countries, or its poor environmental practices.
