Hands-on review

Large, ad‑supported multi‑asset portal for quotes, calendars, screeners and watchlists. InvestingPro / Pro+ add institutional‑grade fundamentals, ProNews and AI‑driven stock ideas. Excellent free macro & event coverage, but quotes can be delayed/indicative on some venues, so double‑check prices with your broker before trading.
