The Motley Fool UK
Motley Fools and their money aren't easily parted, as a mere glance at this top investment site confirms. There's a treasure-trove of advice on ivesting, but the most valuable part of this site is its message board. Readers relate their own experience of brokers, plus pearls of wisdom on shares to avoid.

MoneyeXtra
.Investors will find this site particularly useful for comparing the mortgages and ISAs offered by various companies. The international section reports on overseas stock markets, and if shares aren't your cup of tea there's a handy guide to less risky investments such as National Savings certificates and Premium Bonds.

Electronic Share Information

Bloomberg.co.uk
If you're a cunning investor, your share dealings won't begin and end with the London-based FTSE 100. There are many strong international companies that aren't listed in our own City. Bloomberg tells you how they're doing with data on the major international markets. Futures and bonds are listed as well as share prices.

Financial Times
Synonymous with money. You can, of course, search for the latest share prices, but the company financial section is also the most useful. It has data on some 20,000 firms, going back three years so you can see how they've fared long-term.
