I use fmxconnect.com New site, and very commodity based, but has some cool features like real-time news feeds.

i dont usually care for international news but i at least like a perspective that is not devoid of the world around us. www.ibtimes.com works well for this. also sites like iht.com also, but thats more politics

The information on Valuengine site is not 100% accurate. "it claims its recommendation engine enjoyed a 25 percent rate of return during 2008"? Are you serious? 2008 is a brutal year for stock market and 25% sounds like a joke. I went to Valuengine site to check it out and found the claim is actually "average return from Jan 1990 -- Dec, 2008 is 25%". That sounds much more reasonable.

I always use Capital IQ. Either cap iq or factset are the industry standards, outside of calling a bank for information.
